Get Lucky on a Gondola Dinner Cruise
Let’s be honest. Not everyone’s idea of romance involves hopping a spur-of-the-moment flight to Vegas and getting hitched by an Elvis impersonator. But the shotgun wedding capital of the world does offer its fair share – more, even – of perfectly romantic options for the more traditional among us.
There is a reason, after all, why Las Vegas is also a quintessential honeymoon destination: couples can canoodle atop a half-scale Eiffel Tower, take a romantic stroll along Lake Bellagio, enjoy a gondola ride along replica Venetian canals or indulge in a mutual adrenaline rush on any of the thrill rides on top of the Stratosphere tower.
For a truly idyllic and intimate romantic setting, however, it’s hard to beat the gondola dinner cruise for two at Lake Las Vegas, 25 minutes east of the Strip. Absent are the brightly-colored, chlorinated waters of the Venetian’s canal system and throngs of gawking tourists. Instead, you and your sweetie are likely to have the entire man-made, scenic Lake Las Vegas to yourself.
Surrounded by the picturesque Ritz-Carlton and Loews resorts as well as a desert mountainscape that looks its best during sunset, when these cruises are offered, you enjoy champagne, an elegant three-course dinner ($295 per couple) and your own private gondolier.
On our roughly 90-minute excursion, the gondolier sang, but only on request. For those truly momentous occasions, the gondolier will conspire with you to arrange a marriage proposal, birthday presentation or other surprise event. To make reservations, call (877) 4-GONDOLA.
So, if the romantic trifecta of exclusive setting, beautiful scenery and bubbly doesn’t ensure you get lucky with your honey in Vegas, we’re afraid we can’t help you.
