The Palazzo is the newer, calmer all-suite tower of The Venetian Resort, with large suites, Sphere-view rooms, restaurants such as Mott 32 and CUT, and Milano, a 275-suite hotel-within-a-hotel with its own Dolce&Gabbana pool. You share the canals, shops and Sphere access with The Venetian next door.
The Palazzo opened at the end of 2007 as the second tower of The Venetian Resort, just north of The Venetian and across Sands Avenue from Wynn. The two hotels are joined indoors through the Grand Canal Shoppes, so a Palazzo guest gets the gondolas, the shops, Madame Tussauds and the walkway to Sphere without leaving the building. Palazzo is generally a little quieter and more polished than its sister tower, with a lobby built around a glass dome and gardens, and its casino draws fewer tour groups.
Every room is a suite. Standard suites have a sunken living area with a sofa, a large marble bathroom and big windows, and some upper-floor suites face Sphere, which is worth requesting so you can watch the exterior display at night.
The resort includes Milano, a hotel-within-a-hotel of 275 suites inside The Palazzo. Suites start at about 720 square feet and run up to multi-room Signature Suites of up to 8,000 square feet. Milano guests get personal concierge service, a nightly guest experience called Milano Moments, and a private Dolce&Gabbana pool with custom cabanas that only Milano guests can use.
Signature Suite guests also get a butler. If you are celebrating, compare a Milano rate with a standard Palazzo suite, because the gap in space is small but the gap in service is large. The Palazzo High Limit Lounge, added in the resort's $1.5 billion reinvestment, serves bigger players.
Dining is a strong point. Mott 32 serves upscale Cantonese food and Peking duck, CUT by Wolfgang Puck is the steakhouse, and LAVO Italian reopened after a renovation. Many more options are a short walk away in The Venetian and the Grand Canal Shoppes. Palazzo's pools are part of the shared pool deck and run on a seasonal schedule. Sphere is on the far side of the resort and reached by a covered walkway through the Venetian Expo, and Wynn and Encore are a few minutes away across Sands Avenue.
Distances inside the complex are long, so allow time when you have show tickets. A nightly resort fee is added to the room rate and parking charges may apply, so compare total prices rather than headline rates before you book.
