| - Stayed here from Christmas until the 27th then stayed at the Aria till the 30th, but I'm writing a review on the Palazzo first before I jump into Aria where I'll most likely make some comparisons.
I didn't handle the check-in other than to sign that allowed me to charge stuff to the room, but from what I've seen, the whole thing went smoothly for my parents who were doing the checking-in stuff.
The room: HUGE! Sure it was just the regular standard suite, but you can easily have 6 people sleep in here and still have enough space unlike the Aria. The room has 3 TVs, one in the 'bedroom', one in the living room, and one in the bathroom. This is pretty good if you have a lot of people in your group or if you have kids. No worries about fighting over the remote. The room has a remote for the curtains which is pretty convenient. No more having to close the curtains yourself.
The bathroom has two sinks, separate shower and tub, and a room for the toilet. They renovated the shower from the last time I was there. Instead of just a shower head now, they also have those fancy shower spray things that you would find in a spa. Really great! The issue I had with the bathroom though was the placement of the tub and TV. It's kinda hard to watch the TV while taking a bath because you sorta have to sit sideways in order to watch TV, which is kinda annoying because I want to relax, rather than sit crosslegged trying to watch TV.
If you're someone who needs a lot of space in the room, Palazzo is a great place. Unlike Aria, you've got a ton of room for putting things. The bathroom at Palazzo had a vanity table where you could put your makeup stuff there whereas at Aria, I had to put them in the main room since there wasn't a table at all. Overall, the room or suite at the Palazzo is pretty damn good.
The casino: Basically they have your standard stuff. Slot machines ranging from 1 cent to $500 (or was it $1000?), tables with plenty of different games, and such. One thing I do like about this casino is that it's very easy to navigate in comparison to other casinos and you're able to find things pretty easily. As well, it's connected to Venetian.
Location: It's in the heart of the strip with Treasure Island, Wynn, Fashion Show Mall, and Harrah's all being within walking distance. As well, it's connected to The Venetian, so if you're bored with Palazzo, but too lazy to go out, you can walk to Venetian and maybe do some shopping along the way since the area between the two contains a lot of shops and restaurants.
Parking: The self-park parking lot is pretty big with a few levels, but if you're searching for a space near the elevators, good luck, especially if it's during the high season.The one thing i liked about this parking lot over Aria's is that each level has a elevator that takes you directly to the casino whereas at Aria you still have to walk a bit to get there.
The hotel elevators: They need to get rid of the POTO music. And I say this as a POTO fangirl who ships the Phantom and Christine pretty damn hard. 99% of the music I hear in the elevator is the main theme song or Music of the Night. At the very least, give me Past the Point of No Return! And the music is from the movie soundtrack, rather than the original recording with Crawford and Brightman. Yes I know, they're trying to promote POTO that plays at The Venetian, but come on!
Overall I recommend Palazzo if you have a lot of people staying with you and need enough space for everyone's things. Also good if you don't want to walk too much, but still cover enough casinos and shops to go to. It's definitely not very tech savy unlike Aria, but it does its job very well.
