F1: Venetian Hotel Drains Outdoor Canals for Las Vegas GP

Posted by AR1 staff

According to Fox Las Vegas, the Venetian luxury hotel based on the Italian city of Venice is draining its outdoor canals to construct an invitation-only viewing platform for the Las Vegas GP F1 race.

Officials say the water drained from the canals comes straight from the Colorado River. It will be sent to a water treatment facility and repurposed. It is expected to be pumped back into Lake Mead. No water will be lost in the process, and the Venetian will replenish the canals.

But, at least for a little while, tourists who were looking forward to a gondola ride will have use the indoor canals only.

The Venetian is reclaiming the water because the strip hotels face more stringent water restrictions. The Venetian still has gondola rides inside the hotel.

A 2km stretch of track runs down the famous Strip, right by The Venetian Resort.  Their hotel is perfectly positioned to offer once-in-a-lifetime views of this uniquely Vegas circuit. They’re situated on a corner turn and face 20% of the total course.
