| - Hawt damn that's a big room I got!
I'm not a gambler or a big shopper, so when I go to Vegas these days it is mostly for work. I've stayed at the Ritz Carlton, the MGM, New York, NY, and the Homewood Suites near the airport.
The worst thing about staying in Vegas for me is how much they nickle and dime you for everything. Want coffee in your room when you wake up and your hair is pointing in every direction it can possibly go? Too bad, you'll have to get out of bed, make yourself presentable, get in the elevator and face the world to pay nearly 3 dollars and change for a basic cup of joe. I'd rather have an in room coffee maker that I have to drop money in to instead.
There is no denying the beauty and comfort of the rooms at The Palazzo and I would happily stay at this hotel again because of it. I didn't really have much interaction with any of the employees other than when I checked in and checked out, but both experiences were pleasant.
Situated on the far end of The Strip (near the Wynn hotel), it's about a 15 minute walk to the Bellagio if you want to eat at their buffet (hint: it is one of the best buffets in town).
Besides taking a taxi, the other way to get to the hotel is a 6.00 shuttle you can take just outside of door #8 in baggage claim at the airport. There is a shuttle called Exec. Shuttle Service and they leave once per hour. It will stop at The Venetian first, then stop at The Palazzo. There are two other shuttles that can take you to the hotel (Bell Trans & Coach USA), but bear in mind those two will stop at other hotels along the way. You can purchase a one way token (poker chip, cute) for Exec. Shuttle for 6.00 or purchase a r/t token for 12.00. Be aware that the shuttle back to the airport -will- be making other stops and it could take as much as 30 minutes to get back to the airport. That surprised me given the drive to the hotel from the airport was non stop. Oh well.
