Venice used to have a very active (and attractive) night life, but not anymore. The root cause is that young people leave very early due to lack of jobs outside of the tourism sector, increased price of living and worsening quality of life. Venice population peeked in the 70s with around 350.000 residents, it is now back at the same level of the 30s at around 250.000 residents. Up until 2019 ~5.5 million tourists visit Venice every year, which is a gigantic number for such a small city. Last year due to the pandemic it dropped to around 1.3 million. Exceptional high sea levels did the rest. I've mentioned the Americans in my first comment because with 5 direct weekly flights from NY, they are the major customers of the large cruise ships that cause so much troubles to the locals. We should never forget that technically Venice is a sinking city.
