The Chicago River Ain't The Only Place That's Green

Where: Las Vegas, NV, United States, 89109

The Venetian Hotel and Casino has dyed their canals green for St. Patrick's Day! The hotel has actually been on a bender celebrating St. Patrick's Day since March 12 but will continue the festivities through tomorrow.

Liam the Leprechaun is leading the parade today through the Green Canal where gondoliers will also make room in their song sets for some Irish faves like My Wild Irish Rose, When Irish Eyes are Smiling, and Up Among The Heather.

Just in case you happen to be inside the Venetian right now or heading over there before 6pm, if you spot Liam somewhere among the Grand Canal Shoppes you must say to him "Luck o’ the Irish." That's because if you do, he will reach into his "pot of gold" and hand over a prize. Said prize can be anything from gold chocolate coins to a free gondola ride on the (temporarily) green canal. Sorry, no instant jackpot winnings are found in the pot of gold.

However, if you do book a gondola ride between now and tomorrow (tickets are $16 per person), you can redeem your stub at the Mercato store for a bottle of Guinness. Sláinte!
