The Palazzo is a luxury hotel and casino resort located on the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Palazzo is owned and operated by the Las Vegas Sands. The property's design and theme is reflective of modern European ambiance and luxury living.
Parts of the resort were opened to the general public on December 30, 2007.[1] The official grand opening took place on January 17, 2008.
The $1.8 billion resort features a Lobby where guests from the street arrive beneath a 60-foot (18 m) glass dome with a two-story fountain. Those approaching from The Venetian make the transition through a towering octagonal structure, itself topped by a glass-and-iron dome. Visitors to The Palazzo using the underground parking structure can take elevators or escalators from the underground garage and arrive in the center of the property's casino.
Though marketed and portrayed as a stand-alone resort, The Palazzo is actually an extension of The Venetian Casino Resort and the Sands Expo complex on the Las Vegas Strip.[citation needed] The Palazzo Casino, like some other casinos on the strip, operates under the license of a related casino. In this case The Venetian's license. The resort's 642-foot high hotel tower features 3,068 all-suite rooms and 375 concierge-level suites.
