| - If you're going to stay in Vegas, you might as well do it right especially when it comes your hotel. The Palazzo proved to be a stellar choice for our Girls' Weekend Getaway, and it made all the difference in the overall fun that we had.
Our suite was as spacious as it was impressive. Decked out with a stand-up shower, huge separate tub, double sinks, our very own living room, comfy beds, a pull out sofa bed, dining table, desk area, telephone in the toilet area (also separate from the actual bathroom), two TVs (one in the bathroom, the other in the bedroom), electronic window shades, comfort and extravagance were not lacking. We were situated right on The Strip which made all the difference as we desired to be in the mix of everything and to walk, rather than cab it to our destinations.
So there you have it. The rooms are lovely. But what about the facilities and overall resort? Gaw-jus. The entrance is grand, the property is massive, and the staff is helpful and courteous. The Palazzo is an addition to The Venetian, another lovely hotel option. So lucky for us, a suite at the Palazzo granted us access to all of its 11 pools. And there really is a pool for everyone. Want to relax with the family? Want to lay out in some peace and quiet by your lonesome? Want to swim with your honey and get some jacuzzi action in? Want to people watch-- beautiful people at that? Want to strut your stuff, party or day drink? You get a pool! You get a pool! And you get a pool! Our group chose the best of both worlds and opted for both fun and relaxation. But the most memorable aspect when it came down some pool action was Tao Beach (review to follow). Fun! Crazy crazy crazy fun! Great music, decent food, and overall everything that a Vegas pool party should be.
The restaurant options are plentiful and the shopping options are .... well... expensive. Reviews to follow on these too. The nightclub was fantastic too. Very different feel from the outdoor clubs we experienced the night before, but equally as good- if not better. We had an over-the-top great time. Best of all, it's right in the hotel so no mile walk in your high heels, ladies.
Lastly, I'm not the type of girl to gamble so the casino was my least favorite. Though large and updated, it wreaked of smoke and we didn't spend much time there. Also you have to walk through it to get around the property. Meh. I did like that they had phone chargers on some of the slot machines. Another way to keep you there longer, but very convenient.
Overall, the property was everything that we needed and more. Most rooms, like ours, offer a beautiful view if you are a few floors up. And most likely if you get in early enough and ask for one, you shall receive. Of course there are lots of places to choose from when it comes to hotels, but this is a solid choice for a weekend getaway. I'd definitely stay here again.
