Why book?
For a slightly more serene, all-suite tower attached to The Venetian, with huge rooms, LEED-certified bones, the return of José Andrés’s Bazaar Meat, and quick access to Via Via food hall and the rest of the resort’s restaurant sprawl.
Set the scene
Palazzo opened in 2007 as an expansion of The Venetian, giving Las Vegas Sands (now operated by Apollo/Vici) a second, all-suite tower and eventually becoming one of the largest LEED-certified buildings in the world. Its eco-cred—Silver LEED certification, energy-efficient systems—was unusually forward-thinking for the Strip at the time and still underpins the “largest green building” talking point you’ll occasionally see in the marketing. The latest chapter is about dining: Moving Bazaar Meat from Sahara to Palazzo and weaving Wakuda into this tower signals that Palazzo is meant to stand as its own destination, not just overflow for Venetian's rooms.
The rooms
Palazzo’s calling card is space: standard Luxury King and Two Queen suites are around 720 square feet, with a raised bedroom and a step-down living room that makes the whole thing feel like a city apartment rather than a typical hotel box. Neutral palettes, upholstered headboards, and big L-shaped sofas keep things calm, while newer layouts layer in clean lines and views aimed straight at the Sphere when you pull the curtains back. Bathrooms are generously proportioned—double vanities, soaking tubs, separate showers. If you want extra spoiling, Prestige-level suites buy you access to the 23rd-floor lounge with breakfast, evening bites, and Strip views.
Food and drink
Palazzo’s own list is shorter than The Venetian’s, but the headliners are serious. Wakuda leans into high-design Japanese—sushi, sashimi, binchotan grilling—and a tucked-away speakeasy omakase counter for when you want the full experience. José Andrés’s Bazaar Meat has restarted its Vegas life here on the lower level of the Palazzo tower, with 20,000 square feet devoted to fire-kissed steaks, jamón, playful “Meat Bar” bites, and a cocktail program that includes tableside magic mojitos and build-your-own martinis. Rosina is the moody, Art Deco–inspired champagne and cocktail bar to slip into when you want a proper martini in a grown-up room. The nice thing about being over here is that everything at The Venetian—COTE, Milos, HaSalon, Via Via food hall—is a short indoor walk away, but you can always wander back to your quieter tower to sleep.
The neighborhood/area
Palazzo’s position means you can walk indoors to The Venetian’s casino, Via Via food hall, and TAO’s brunch/buffet scene, or head outside and be at Wynn, Encore, or Sphere after a short stroll or rideshare. The Grand Canal Shoppes are essentially your downstairs mall, with everything from luxury labels to more approachable brands tucked under that permanently blue “sky.” If you want a break from the Strip, it’s an easy ride to the Arts District or downtown for Fremont Street and old-Vegas neon.
Worth it?
Yes—if you care about Sphere, book a “view” suite on a higher floor in Palazzo—you can watch show animations from your sofa instead of fighting crowds on the sidewalk.
