| - I was pleasantly surprised by the Palazzo. I was not expecting anything too amazing when I checked in, but the rooms are REALLY large, and the bathroom also boasts a large glass shower + a tub. (Actually, the bathroom setup was the exact same as I've had at Caesar's, which was interesting.)
My room came with two double beds + a large seating area with a small table, large L-shaped couch, and an office desk/chair set. I've heard this is the default setup of all of their rooms, which seems pretty nice.
It was just me in the room, so when I get 2 beds I use one for working on my computer and one for sleeping. I pulled back the sheets on one bed and found a long, dark hair... so that was for working. The other bed was fine, so that's where I slept.
Things I dislike about the Plazzo -- it has a weird smell. All the hotels have a signature scent, but I just HATE how the Palazzo smells. I know, I know...but I can't help it. Also, I'm genuinely confused about why they call it the Palazzo (as an Italian-style theme), but then all the decor and even their soaps/shampoo, etc is all covered in Asian-styled writing.
Also, the last night that we were there, I ended up having an hour to lay by the pool before dinner. My coworker and I went to the pool bar to order drinks, and I kid you not--there was ONE working bartender for maybe 50+ people. My coworker and I waited 10 minutes for her to take our order before completely giving up. It was really weird that they'd have the bar so understaffed, but...whatever. It would have bothered me more if this had been a trip for pleasure as opposed to business.
I don't gamble, so I don't have anything to say about that!
