| - Chuck Norris Roundhouse Kick to the Door Needed.
My girl friend and I drove to Vegas in the middle of the night (Swingers Style), which isn't too far for us, considering we live in LA. I hadn't slept in about 30 hours and was exhausted by the time we got into Vegas at 630am. We called the Palazzo to see if we could check in early so that I could get some ZzZz before a long night of drunken, gambling debauchery. Unfortunately, the Palazzo wasn't able to accommodate our early arrival so we opted to go into Downtown Las Vegas and get a room at Fitzgerald's(see review), an older Hotel, until we were able to check into the Palazzo at 3pm.
Upon Check in at the Palazzo, I was taken over by the beautiful check in area. Absolutely magnificent! We were fortunate enough to be invited guests and able to check in at a special low wait time desk, Awesome!
The scenery was pleasant and clean and the fact that the Palazzo is connected to the Venetian with all of its fantastic shopping was great for me, bad for my American Express.
Our room was gorgeous with an awesome picturesque window overlooking a golf course with a Mountainous backdrop.
Overall the stay was nice. The room was beautiful, very quiet, as we were at the end of a long hallway and everything had a very new feel to it. There were a few small things that could be better. Considering the Hotel and Casino were built in something like 8 months or so, I am sure some things were overlooked:
1. When we got to our room for the first time, my girl friend and I were standing outside of our door for several minutes because the door would not open. The little lock showed that the key worked, however the door was not budging. Lucky for us "Letty," a very friendly person on the housekeeping staff, came over and kicked (and I am dead serious when I say KICKED), the door open for us. That seemed to be an issue for me coming back to the room at 4am, drunk, forgetting that the door was sticky and on top of that waking up my friend with the sounds of my Chuck Norris style roundhouse kick to the door and on one instances my chubby body hurling across the threshold onto the floor.
2. There are no 24 hour restaurants in the Palazzo. We did, however, find great pleasure at the Grand Luxe Cafe in the Venetian at 3am, munching on their FANTASTIC Spinach dip and Arnold Palmers. Yum!
3. On FOUR different occasions while gambling we saw Palazzo Security hassling young ladies that were obviously suspected as hookers. In one instance, there were about 6 security guards surrounding a young lady, hassling her about being in the Casino. This went on for about 20 minutes until she was escorted out of sight. That particular instance put a damper on my "Cops and Donuts" Penny Slot experience. I think it would have been much more advantageous, had they ushered the young ladies to a spot out of patron's view. I have to say that I felt sick to my stomach and had to leave the Casino for a bit after the animalistic way they treated her. I mean, Vegas wouldn't be Vegas without some hookers here and there. I am kidding. But, there is a good way and a bad way at handling certain things, and this was definitely the wrong way.
4. They forgot our wake-up calls on two separate occasions! I am SO glad that I didn't have plans on those days!
5. When in Vegas, I chain smoke. Bad, Bad. The Casino is nice in that it isn't overly Smokey like Vintage Vegas used to be. There are a few areas that are clearly marked as "Non-Smoking Areas," However, I found that a lot of the cool games were in that area. Boo!
6. On check-out day, there was an hour long wait for a Bellman to come help with luggage. We decided to lug all our stuff downstairs ourselves and considering I somehow ended up with more stuff than I started with (imagine that!) it was a big hassle. We were lucky enough to have bribed a Bellman on the way down to take our luggage and check it so we could grab lunch before leaving. Otherwise, we would have been stuck dragging our luggage through the crowded Casino to the Valet and grabbing McDonalds on the drive home.
