LAS VEGAS - A spokesman for The Venetian Las Vegas says two men found unresponsive in the resort-casino's gondola ride canal earlier this week are no longer in critical condition.

Las Vegas Sands Corp. spokesman Ron Reese said Thursday that the casino's security guards had kicked the pair off the property before and they had been known to hang out in front of The Venetian on a regular basis.

He says the two were spotted on video surveillance by security Monday morning jumping a fence to get into the canal outside The Venetian along Las Vegas Boulevard, but struggled to swim and were unconscious but breathing when the guards pulled them out.

No criminal charges have been filed.
