The Palazzo at The Venetian®

The Palazzo at The Venetian® Overview

First Impressions

Walking into The Palazzo at The Venetian® feels like stepping into someone’s very expensive fever dream of Italian grandeur — and honestly, it works. This five-star property sits right in the thick of the Strip action, but somehow manages to feel removed from the chaos once you’re inside. The lobby stretches on forever with hand-painted frescoes overhead, and you know what? After seeing dozens of Vegas hotels try this same trick, The Palazzo actually pulls it off without feeling like a theme park.

Location & Strip Access

You’re literally in the heart of everything here — I mean, step outside and you’ve got the Mirage across the street, Treasure Island next door, and the Forum Shops practically attached. What I love about this spot is that couples seem to get it (they rate the location 9.5, which honestly makes sense). You can walk to most major shows and restaurants without dealing with taxis or that monorail, plus there’s parking on-site if you’re brave enough to drive the Strip. The location score of 9.4 isn’t just marketing fluff — it’s genuinely that good.

The Suite Experience

Here’s where The Palazzo gets interesting — every room is actually a suite, which means you’re getting separate living and sleeping areas even in the base category. The beds are legitimately comfortable (guests rave about the sleep quality), and I’ve stayed in enough Vegas hotels to know that’s not always a given. Each suite comes with a proper kitchenette setup, which is clutch if you want to avoid $30 room service sandwiches. The marble bathrooms feel genuinely luxurious rather than just expensive-looking, if that makes sense.

Dining & Daily Rhythms

Breakfast here covers all the bases — continental, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, Asian, American — basically whatever dietary situation you’re working with. The main restaurant scene is solid, though honestly, with this location you’ll probably end up exploring the Strip for dinner anyway. What I appreciate is that the hotel doesn’t try to trap you inside with mediocre options. The fitness center is actually usable (not just a couple of broken treadmills), and if you’re into golf, there are courses within a couple miles — though let’s be real, most people are here for the casino action.

Why Guests Love It

The Palazzo manages to deliver actual luxury without the pretentious attitude you sometimes get at this price point in Las Vegas. Staff genuinely seems to care about getting things right, and the property feels well-maintained rather than just flashy. It’s the kind of place where you can bring someone who’s never done Vegas before and they’ll be impressed, but it also works if you’re a regular who just wants things done properly. The suite setup means you’re not cramped into a standard hotel box, and honestly, after a long day on the Strip, having that extra space to spread out makes all the difference.
