Mini Las Vegas Trip Report
I was hoping to have a bunch more photos from my weekend in Vegas, but my camera's battery died in the middle of the trip! So, it's pretty much a Palazzo and Venetian gallery. Here's a quick trip summary:
Who: I went with my mom who, like me, enjoys a little gambling every now and then.
Where: We stayed at The Palazzo, which is the new hotel attached to the Venetian. Rooms are similar in layout to The Venetian, but a little more modern-looking (and less Italian). We both really liked it... lots of TVs, automatic curtains, and an amazing shower! Plus, it doesn't take forever to get in and out of the place. Would definitely stay there again!
Best meal: Mesa Grill at Caesars. This is Bobby Flay's restaurant and it was really good. Expensive, but mmm good.
High roller moment: Apparently I gambled enough at The Wynn when I was at PMA to earn some comps! I got two free buffet meals, plus a line pass... which saves you an hour wait! Food was pretty good, though mom felt crummy soon after we ate.
Low roller moment: While I started off great, lady luck was not on my side... this was NOT a good weekend for gambling. I guess that's how they can afford to build all these nice hotels!
A few more pics after the break...
Nice view from the plane
Our Bella Suite in The Palazzo. There are three flat screen TVs: one in the living room (32"), one in the bedroom (42"), and a small one in the bathroom. All HD, too!
Living room area had a nice L-shaped sofa, with a desk for work and a table for eating!
Panoramic view from the 33rd floor
Pool area, looking toward The Wynn and Encore (still under construction)
This is the connection between the Palazzo and Venetian hotels
Grand Canal Shops at The Venetian
Wish I had more, but my camera wasn't playing along. There's always next time!

I lived in Las Vegas for 5 years from 1994 to 1999, went to high school and university there, haven't gone back since, really missed there... thanks for the photos!
Jeff,
Glad you had a good time in Vegas. Palazzo's rooms are luxurious to say the least.
Thanks for the great photos.
Just a quick question... those Venice-like places...are they indoors with a mock sky? Sorry for the dumb question, but from Hungary it's difficult to imagine:P
Yes, the sky is painted on the ceiling... it's a popular thing in Vegas hotels...
