| - [Off-topic: I'm VERY grateful to the No1DP for letting me tag along on his 2nd Vegas trip and giving me a chance to see what it's like working in his industry. I am also grateful that this trip was the best Vegas trip for both of us, and I've been to Vegas at least a handful of times since turning 21. You're a sweetheart :*]

The No1DP was in Vegas to attend a conference in Sands Expo and the conference offered a block of rooms in the nearby Venetian and Palazzo for the same price. Knowing this I suggested to him to get a room in the Palazzo knowing that it would be the more "contemporary" version of the Venetian (it was built later) and had more square footage in the standard suite.
CHECK-IN: As No1DP would be in workshops when I arrived from SD he told front desk to allow me to check-in to his room under my name. I was able to request room keys under my name with no hassle.
ROOM: The main room is divided into two areas, the bedroom and the living area divided by a counter and two steps that lead into the living area. Room was luxurious and spacious, yet still keeping up with the Italianesque classical theme (if you want a more 'contemporary'-looking room stay at the neighboring Wynn/Encore). This is definitely a room that you can lounge around all day.
Bed was quite comfortable, sometimes the No1DP and I found it hard to get out of bed! There's a TV across from the bed but there is no separate hookup for DVDs or a way to get signals from DVD box connected to the TV in the living room.
Around the room there's lots of drawer, cabinet and counter space to put in your things. No1DP took this to his advantage and completely unpacked his luggage (I'm still the woman that leaves everything in the luggage so there's no looking for stuff 10 minutes prior to checkout)
Living/work space is also ideal for lounging around. There's an L-shaped sofa with nearby counter and table space, perfect for eating meals around the couch. There's a TV with DVD player (doesn't play Blu-ray) along with a separate dining and working table. My only concern is that the stairs leading to the living space make it hard to transport room service food from the entrance to the living room area without having to pick up the individual items.
BATHROOM/SHOWER: Bathroom was also very spacious and luxurious. The shower can fit two average-sized people. Loved that there are shower sprays on the side and you can transfer between shower heads at will. There's a TV mounted to the wall if you want to watch while using the bath. The bathroom amenities smelled quite nice and left a little-more-than-subtle ginger scent on the skin, which smelled quite nice on the No1DP (TMI, sorry).
HOUSEKEEPING: They did a good job with the cleaning whenever we requested it (as we used the privacy cards for much of our stay).
IN-HOUSE DINING: Japanese Breakfast ($28): Seared 7oz. Scottish salmon filet, steamed rice, miso soup, poached egg, pickled vegetables, nori, and green tea. You can replace green tea with coffee with cream/sugar. Though slightly pricey for an equivalent dish in other restaurants, it's a small price to pay for not getting out of your room. Salmon and pickled vegetables were decent, steamed rice was a little dry (No1DP and I are used to eating stickier rice for salmon) and miso was made fresh.
Overall the No1DP and I enjoyed our stay and this will be an option if I want a luxurious yet classical place to stay and I foresee myself being at the hotel for much of my stay.
