Grand Canal Shoppes

The Grand Canal Shoppes is an upscale shopping mall inside the Venetian and Palazzo resorts on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, United States.

[3] It was managed by Forest City Enterprises, which also held ownership in two other Las Vegas area retail centers: Showcase Mall and Galleria at Sunset.

[6][7] The sale helped Las Vegas Sands to finance construction of The Palazzo, a sister resort to the Venetian.

[19][20][21] Numerous performers provide free entertainment around the mall, including acrobats, living statues, opera singers, and stilt walkers.

[22][23][24] The Grand Canal Shoppes was focused on upscale stores, including Jimmy Choo, Pal Zileri, Ann Taylor, and Kenneth Cole Productions.

[27] Its anchor store was a three-level, 85,000 sq ft (7,900 m2) Barneys New York,[28] which announced its closure in 2019, after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

[29] One of the mall's earliest restaurants, WB Stage 16, was a themed eatery which also included a lounge and a private screening room for parties.

The club struggled financially, and Las Vegas Sands sought to evict it, alleging obscene and sexual acts.

[49][50] Villa Azur, a small chain of restaurants originating in South Beach, eventually opened a location at the Grand Canal Shoppes in 2022.
