| - The Palazzo is a beautiful hotel and casino, and let me preface this review with the statement that I've always been in awe of it. My expectations of a stay here were met and even exceeded in a major way. We had a comfortable, enjoyable four days in Las Vegas.
Since my family has grown, the traditional two-twin bed rooms are not cutting it. So we need a suite - and we got an amazing deal online for a suite at the Palazzo. It was my first time getting a suite in Las Vegas and we were really impressed.
Though the price was substantially more than an average hotel room on the strip, the value was definitely there. Everything about the room seemed elegant, luxurious, and tastefully appointed with a quasi-European style. The design of the suite is really unique as there is a "step down" in the middle of the room. The two queen beds plus a pull-out couch meant plenty of room for everyone. There were two televisions, meaning that people could watch two different programs simultaneously.
The pools are also great. There are several. The Palazzo and the Venetian have a joint pool complex with at least six pools, including one fairly large shallow pool that is perfect for small children. The area is quite large, meaning that there is plenty of room and it doesn't feel super crowded like some other pool complexes. Plus all of them are right next to the hotel towers and slightly raised above street level, meaning you have some pretty cool views of the Palazzo and Venetian towers, as well as some other nearby locations like the Mirage. There are bars spread out amongst the pools, and there are also plenty of shady spots if you know where to look (major hint - ask the towel attendants, they know where all the good spots are)! Overall this is one of the top pool complexes in Las Vegas.
The Palazzo is also adjacent to the Grand Canal Shoppes, which is an upscale-style mall filled with unique shops and restaurants. The architecture of the mall is the medieval-Venice style, with marble buildings and a canal where you can actually take gondola rides. The indoor ceiling is a sky that changes color as the "day" passes, with about 10-to-15-minute intervals. There is a model Fontana di Trevi in the center of the mall, with a few amazing restaurants around it.
Overall, the Palazzo is an upscale luxury hotel that is superior in many aspects to others in its price range. Highly recommended!
