Venetian Hotel & Casino – DaVinci the Exhibition

February 6, 2015. The DaVinci exhibit and the penny machine are gone. The employees said the exhibit had completed its run and was removed the first week in January 2015. MWHTH

Imagine Exhibitions brings Leonardo Da Vinci's timeless brilliance to The Venetian with "Da Vinci the Exhibition", an interactive look at the artist's celebrated works. Here for a limited time engagement, the exhibit provides visitors of all ages a chance to see and learn about Leonardo's creations in a new way through interactive displays. An Italian painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, engineer and mathematician, Leonardo defines the Renaissance Man. His insatiable curiosity and uninhibited imagination epitomized the ideals of the Renaissance period. The features include 60 life-size machine inventions (3-D models of Leonardo's most notable mechanical drawings) as well as his artwork and anatomical studies. Guests can push, pull and crank some of the interactive displays, giving them a hands-on understanding of the scientific principles behind his creations. This compelling exhibit was created in collaboration with Italian artisans responsible for interpreting the ancient Florentine dialect used by Da Vinci and deciphering his 15th century codices.

Da Vinci the Exhibition is located in the lobby of The Venetian in the Imagine Exhibit Gallery directly across from the registration front desk. The machine is located just outside the gift shop. You do not have to pay admission to obtain the pennies, but the exhibition is highly recommended. The machine is available 24 hours 7 days a week. Hours of operation for the exhibition: Sunday through Thursday 9:30 am to 7:00 pm, with last ticket sold at 6:00 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays 9:30 am to 9:00 pm with last tickets sold at 8:00 p.m. Exhibit may close early for special events. Tickets are $27.50 for adults with one child (ages 12 and under) free when accompanied by paying adult. Additional children, $20.50. Plenty of free parking in the parking garage.

The lady in charge of it said if you push the coin slot in slowly you will not lose your money from the machine skipping. If you have any problems the nice people in the Exhibit entry will help you as well as give you your money back if you loose it.
