What it is

Tucked within the legendary Venetian Resort, a newer tower of sky-high luxury, including oversized suites and restaurants by Thomas Keller and Wolfgang Puck.

What it isn't

Bored. Among a multitude of thrills? A TAO nightclub with go-go dancers, a karaoke club with bottle service, and live shows (Willie Nelson, Steely Dan and Diana Ross have all played at the Venetian).

What we think

For anyone who likes to spread out like a Texas cattle rancher on vacay, The Palazzo is your spot: suites are a whopping 720-square-feet, double the size of the average room in this town. And in the capital of excess, The Palazzo puts in-room niceties to a new level of “wow”: you’ll have a sunken living room with a prime panorama of the city and a bathroom lined in marble and stocked with a soaking tub ideal for washing away all manner of only-in-Vegas sins. Plus, you’ll never need to lift a finger; the Roman shades and curtains are remote controlled, and the valet parking is comped. Here, every guest is treated like a high roller.

You're here because

There’s a Canyon Ranch spa + fitness outpost on the premises, and the Palazzo pool deck looks like a scene from Ancient Rome, with manicured topiary that could have been created by Edward Scissorhands himself.

The Moment

The just-renovated Venetian Pool deck is as sceney as pool decks come, even for Vegas. Daybeds sprawl across two acres dotted with three infinity pools and even a spa pool with treatments by none other than Canyon Ranch spa + fitness. You do as a Hollywood Starlet might and ensconce yourself in the billowing sheer curtains of your waterside cabana, and await your next cocktail. And just hope that what happened in Vegas stays in your memories for years to come.
