The Palazzo 2008 Review Part 3: The 44th floor views

Welcome to the last part of my Palazzo 2008 review! This part will be mainly photos and will showcase the great view we had from the high floors which we requested for. If you haven't read the previous parts of this review yet, you can read them here: The Palazzo 2008 Review Part 1: Introduction, Check In, and Public Spaces The Palazzo 2008 Review Part 2: The Luxury and Bella Suites And onward to part 3, the views! ---- If you have read Part 2 , which was on the Suites, you would know that the check in guy fully responded to my request of having a high floor at check in even when they were fully committed. The check-in guy gave us particularly great views- one which was toward the strip in front of the Palazzo, and one suite which faced back directly toward Wynn's golf course. Most definitely, the strip view room (the Bella suite for our case) had the most astounding view. However, the Luxury suite's view (facing toward the Wynn golf course) was nice in its own ways.

The Palazzo 2008 Review Part 2: The Luxury and Bella Suites

-Part of the Las Vegas 2008 Trip Series- Welcome to the second part of the three part review of the Palazzo. This portion of the Palazzo review, will talk about the 2 different "suites" we had- the Luxury and Bella suites. If you haven't read part one, you can do so by clicking here . Part one talks about the parking garage, check in, and the public spaces. And now, let's go onward with the review shall we? ---- After we got our room keys, we headed straight for the elevators. Our elevator (also known as a "lift") lobby was near the end of all the elevator lobbies. There were several elevators catering to a zone of floors as expected for such a big hotel, and since the elevators had to travel far, they also went pretty fast. Thus, little waiting. Entering the elevator, there were ads for the hotel's entertainment and dining venues. Smart thing of Palazzo in my opinion? Whenever they showed Jersey Boys onto the screen, they played the Jersey Boy's mus...

The Palazzo 2008 Review Part 1: Introduction, Check In, and Public Spaces

-Part of the Las Vegas 2008 Trip Series- Sorry for the big delay of this portion of my Las Vegas trip! It's been four months since the trip already. Time flies... Anyway, this portion of the Palazzo review, which will contain 3 parts, will talk about the check in process, beginning thoughts about the place, and the public spaces which we went to. ---- We've watched Palazzo grow year by year. When it first started construction, it didn't look at all like it would even fit a hotel. The land for the hotel looked ultra cramped, small, and more fit for a strip mall and not a hotel. We were wrong. The next year we visited Vegas, the building was topped off, looking very tall in the Las Vegas skyline. And then, a few months later, it opened. We visited it, finding it to be pretty interesting. However, many shops were closed, and the service was spotty. The employees didn't seem too happy about their job. When I enquired if I could get a pen (I collect hotel pens :) ), the pers...
