| - Prestige is a private concierge lounge located on the 23rd floor of The Palazzo. It has it's own separate check in area (open from 7 am - 9 pm) and a lounge where they serve breakfast, afternoon snacks, evening hors d'oeuvres and have an open bar from 5-8 pm. The lounge has a wonderful view with huge windows that span the length of the lounge looking out towards the strip and TI and MIrage. It's decorated in a classy and comfortable manner and there's even a baby grand piano that plays itself situated in the middle of the main lounge area. The suites you stay in are the same as the regular Palazzo suites, so that means they're still spacious (about 720 sq ft) and beautifully decorated. You basically pay for the extra amenities and to use the lounge. So, you can pay for the Prestige suite ahead of time or if you have a Palazzo or Venetian reservation already, you can upgrade to Prestige for an extra $100+tax per night for 2 people.
Although I'm a local, I've actually staycationed here a couple times and recommend staying here to friends coming into town who have the finances to do so.
As far as the staff, the Prestige Agents are really helpful and personable. They really take their time checking you in and talking to you. They are actually all concierge agents and can help you book shows, tours, dinner reservation either at the Venetian and Palazzo or somewhere else. And because it's a private lounge, they usually remember your name and make you feel like you're not just another guest staying at another strip hotel. If you're a tourist and don't really have your Vegas trip planned, this is a great way to find options and get personalized recommendations.
The food is pretty good too. The breakfast presentation isn't too extraordinary, but some of the hors d'oeuvres in the evening are really good. On the weekends, the have casino restaurants (like Valentino) cater part of the dinner presentation. It's a great way to try some higher end restaurant food without having to pay extra!
Honestly though, what I really like is the open bar. If you come here with a group of friends, bachelor party, bachelorette party, date, family, or whomever, the open bar serves you from 5 pm - 8 pm and it's a full bar.
It's really a great experience with really friendly staff (the servers in the lounge are really attentive and friendly and clear your plates and grab drinks in a really timely manner). Depending on how often you actually utilize the lounge (and I definitely do for the drinks!), the upgrade charge pays for itself. If you're a tourist looking for a more romantic or special Vegas trip, or if you're a local looking for a romantic weekend or special staycation, I would definitely recommend looking into Prestige and consider booking it!
