The Palazzo is a 50-story, all-suite luxury resort on the Las Vegas Strip, built as the sister tower to the adjoining Venetian and operated together as one connected complex. It opened in phases starting December 30, 2007, adding roughly 3,066 suites and about 105,000 square feet of casino floor to the Sands-era Strip; today the land is owned by VICI Properties and the resort is run by Apollo Global Management.
For visitors, the draw is space and polish: every room is an oversized suite rather than a standard hotel room, the casino and shopping stay under one climate-controlled roof, and the property sits at the north end of the Strip within walking distance of Sphere, making it a strong base for anyone combining a casino stay with a Sphere show or convention trip.

Rooms, Pool and Casino
Every room at The Palazzo is a suite, typically 720 square feet or larger, which sets it apart from most Strip towers where suites are a premium upgrade rather than the standard. The casino connects seamlessly to The Venetian’s gaming floor and to the Grand Canal Shoppes, so table games, retail, and restaurants all sit under one roof without stepping outside.
The pool deck spans multiple garden-style pools across several levels, aimed at a quieter, more upscale scene than the loud dayclub pools found at some other Strip resorts. It’s a better fit for travelers who want to relax by the water rather than party at it.
Shows, Attractions and Dining
The 1,760-seat Palazzo Theatre anchors the resort’s live entertainment, hosting rotating residencies and comedy series; magician Shin Lim moved his Limitless show into the newly renovated theatre in 2025. The Grand Canal Shoppes and the seasonal Waterfall Atrium give guests an indoor attraction to browse between shows.
Dining at The Palazzo itself centers on CUT by Wolfgang Puck, the chef’s AAA Four Diamond steakhouse, and the more casual Grand Lux Cafe, alongside the broader restaurant roster shared with The Venetian next door.
Location and Who Should Stay Here
The Palazzo sits at the Strip’s north end, an easy walk to Sphere and a short rideshare or monorail hop from T-Mobile Arena and the Fashion Show area; it’s farther from Allegiant Stadium at the Strip’s south end. The connected Venetian Expo also makes it a common convention hotel.
It suits couples and business travelers who want suite-sized rooms and a calmer casino floor, plus anyone timing a trip around a Sphere show. Families can work with it thanks to the suite layouts, but it’s not a budget pick, and travelers chasing a rowdier pool or club scene will find that energy elsewhere on the Strip.

The Palazzo FAQs
What’s the resort fee and parking situation at The Palazzo?
The Palazzo charges a mandatory nightly resort fee (roughly $60 plus tax as of 2026) covering Wi-Fi, fitness center access, and other amenities. Self-parking runs about $20 per day for hotel guests, with valet priced higher; Sapphire-tier and above loyalty members get parking discounts or free self-parking.
How far is The Palazzo from Sphere and the rest of the Strip?
Sphere is essentially next door, reachable on foot via the connected Venetian Expo walkway. T-Mobile Arena and the Fashion Show Mall area are a short rideshare or monorail ride south, while Allegiant Stadium at the Strip’s far south end is best reached by car or rideshare.
Is The Palazzo the same as The Venetian?
They’re separate towers built by the same developer and now operate as one connected resort complex sharing a casino floor, the Grand Canal Shoppes, and most amenities, so guests can move between the two towers without leaving the building.
