| - Palazzo is definitely the best bang for your buck if you are on a budget and plan to pack the room with as many people as possible (Ahhh...one day, I will be able to step away from the sardine-packed Vegas rooms..). I don't think renting rooms here are that expensive (we were here for NYE2012 so we paid up the wazoo for our room..BOOK EARLY!!!!) when you break down how much square footage you get compared to other rooms.
The 700+ sq. ft Bella Suites sleeps "officially" 4, but you can fit 6 very comfortably (2 on each of the queen beds, 2 on the sofa bed). Even with 8 people (air mattress), the room is still very spacious. There is a sunken "living room" so plenty of communal space in the daytime.
The only annoying thing is the 1 bathroom...with no lock. The bathroom has dual sinks with a tub, standing shower, vanity table, separate door for the toilet and a TV! 8 people sharing a bathroom can be a bit tedious, so luckily, the bathrooms in the casino level are near the hotel elevators where people can go do their business and not stink/hog up the bathroom :)
- YMMV but there seems to be someone checking keys when entering the hotel room elevators. Grab a bunch for the rest of the peeps in your party (super easy, just go to the front desk and tell them you want extra keys, no limit - we got 6 keys even though our occupancy states only 2 are in the room :P)
- Go to the concierge to pick up free passes to LAVO/TAO if you don't feel like venturing outside the casino for nighttime entertainment
- Great location: close to XS (the best club there is), fashion show mall, etc...
- if you can get the upgrade to the strip view, it is amazingggg. You can see the volcano erupt from Mirage, and TI's sleazy pirate show.
- Resort fee $20: includes WiFi in room (no password necessary)
