Palazzo was like a a gorgeous date with a broken, blackened front tooth. I had all these expectations after they made so many efforts to win me back to the Venetian from the Wynn, but when I entered the hotel,..... well...... the broken, blackened front tooth.
It's nice, and while it appears more spacious and less busy than today's Venetian, it failed to deliver the same kind of "wow" factor that the Venetian did when it first opened. There was just something missing, almost like a beach bunny with a new boob job, but using saggy airbags instead of supple saline implants.
The rooms were nice.... almost an exact replica of the Venetian rooms, which in my opinion, are probably the most spacious standard rooms (seeing as how they're all suites) on the Strip. If you like space, this is one thing that the Venetian and Palazzo have raised the bar over even the Wynn.
I did like the gym and spa, and the pool wasn't bad, and probably a tad more down to earth than the Wynn. I did not get the chance to dine at "Cut", and I may give the hotel 1 more chance to try out the dining facilities. However, in terms of class and pizazz, I'm probably going to remain a Wynn client.
