It seems hard to believe that the mega resorts of Las Vegas can come up with something original to attract new visitors, and the Palazzo Resort Hotel Casino has done just that.

If you expect only the best in service and amenities when you stay in Las Vegas be sure to give the Palazzo a try. Entering from the Strip you are immediately greeted by the Concierge’s Desk. Walking on either side of the desk you see and amazing glass sculpture mounted atop a gracefully flowing fountain. I can’t imagine how much this cost, but it is simply breath-taking.

To the right of the fountain you find the corridor leading you into the casino area. I was shocked at how small the casino is, but it seems that was not the focus of the design of the Palazzo, intimacy and service is top priority.

Inside the casino from the corridor if you head to the right you will find all the shops and stores. Anchoring this area is the famous Barneys New York, with more than 50 international boutiques. From Christian Louboutin to Coach and Ralph Lauren, you'll find an exciting and eclectic mix of shopping opportunities.

Towards the back of the casino we find the Grand Lux from the creators of the Cheesecake Factory, and you can choose to have a cocktail by the lounge while you take in the music played by the band.

Being that this review was done in the winter time we have yet to see the Palazzo’s pool area, but if it is anything like the rest of the resort I am positive it will be something special.
