The Venetian's Faux Ice Rink is Back The second year of Winter in Venice is getting under way this week at the Venetian. Enjoy ice skating, gondola rides, and live outdoor and indoor free events as well as glowing L.E.D spectacularness during the most wonderful time of the year. What's unique is that the skate rink atop the water in front of the Italian-themed resort is actually recycled polymer (no ice was created in the making of this rink). The rubber-like surface is treated with oil to remain slick for skating. I saw the rehearsal for the skate shows which will be offered free twice per night Nov. 18 - Jan. 6, 2012. Skate rentals will be available for willing participants.

She encourages people to be realistic and not always follow their dreams now. "Is your dream your nightmare? Be realistic" she quipped in a Conn TV interview.

Comedian, Impersonator, Impressionist   Frank Caliendo will be playing in Las Vegas at the Venetian this week through April 1, 2012, and you really shouldn't miss it. Best known for his NFL Week impressions on Fox , Caliendo does a mean Madden. But if you're not a guy or a football fan and don't follow sports, he's still funny. His President Bush impression is one of the best (alongside of Will Farrel), in the business, and he can work it in at random to any set. His talent seems limitless. If you like to laugh cry, do not miss Frank Caliendo. He's pure genius. Venetian Resort, daily through 4/1/12, 9pm, $59.50 - $104. www.Venetian.com Your ad here, right now: $0
