The disturbance
on Monday morning at the Venetian, which is located on the Las
Vegas Strip and draws many tourists for its gondola rides
inspired by the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy, was first reported
on Thursday.
The two men were caught on hotel surveillance cameras jumping
over the fence that surrounds the hotel's canal along Las Vegas
Boulevard, hotel spokesman Keith Salwoski said in an email.
"Apparently, the individuals were unable to swim and were pulled
from the water," he said.
The two individuals were transported in critical condition by
ambulance to University Medical Center in Las Vegas, said Clark
County Fire Department deputy chief Jeff Buchanan.
He could not share any details on their latest condition.
It was unclear what led the men to jump into the canal.
A Las Vegas police representative could not be reached for
comment.
