| - Oh, Palazzo-Venetian-Palazzo. You're beautiful and I hate you. Spent a total of 7 weeks here in 2011 and if I hear another two bars from "Music of the Night" I'm going to run around back of house until I find a pencil to gouge out my eardrums. The rooms are spectacular always. Don't get off where people claim that one side is nicer than the other...they're both the same, people. In neither tower can you sit in your bathtub and watch the bathroom tv at the same time (what is the point?). The handicap rooms seems smaller, just because the living room isn't sunken... but they're still pretty close.
Everytime I come to the Palazzo/Venetian, I have a bit of an Indiana Jones moment where I try to swap something of similar weight with the minibar items. I don't know why I bother, but one day I will get it right.
The St. Mark's Square area is downright creepy... I don't care how many times you've seen it. Truman Show needed an inspiration, and I'm sure they got it from here. I don't get the indoor gondola rides, but I don't claim to understand the thinking of people who go to Vegas for fun either. Lost my small fair share of money in the casino. I always start out as a good blackjack player, but rarely do I end up as one.
Everything is expensive, as it would be at an expensive hotel. $8 lattes even get me though. Grand Luxe is one of the more affordable restaurants and quite good. They also have the food court off the casino (mediocre) and the food court off of St. Mark's (where you can see the Johnny Rocket's staff painfully...and I mean PAINFULLY... do their song and dance every so often) which has a Panda Express, aforementioned JR, and a few other random places that seem to switch out occasionally. There's also a froyo place, oxygen bar, frozen alcohol bar, and some other places that you rarely see people frequent.
High end clothing stores are nice to look at...Michael Kors, Kenneth Cole, etc. but there's also a Walgreen's attached near the Barney's New York where you can stock up on vitals for only slightly exaggerated prices.
Banquets and convention staff are hot and cold. Have had them been effing amazing and downright mediocre. Blue Man Group, Phantom of the Opera and Jersey Boys are all housed in the V/P. Tao is an ok nightclub, but I'm glad I've never had to pay to get in. Lavo's pretty good as well.
Overall, gorgeous hotel, okay everything else.
