A popular activity for couples is attaching love locks to the fence near the observation deck. Paris Las Vegas also has many recreations of Parisian buildings, including the Arc de Triomphe and the Paris Opera House.

The Venetian Hotel is renowned for its indoor and outdoor canals that wind under beautiful arched bridges and among the Grand Canal Shoppes. One of the most romantic things to do here is to hop on a gondola and simply enjoy the view of Italy-inspired buildings and sky-painted ceilings.
