As for the hotel, I just can't say much good about it. Maybe still some ramping up issues, but (1) I've had to have someone come fix the room safe twice (it won't lock) -- and each time I had to wait 45 minutes. And I can swear that when I left the room this evening it was locked and when I returned it was open (and broken). Nothing missing fortunately. (4) There are NO spare outlets by the desk. All 4 outlets are being used (phone, lamp, internet hub, fax/printer). THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A CONVENTION HOTEL. F-ing retarded. (5) A lot of the shops & restaurants still aren't open and probably won't be for another month or two.
I had some similar service issues at Venetian over New Year's. I doubt I'll be staying at either property again...
Got in last night after travelling for 30 hours so my mental state was not the best.
I had to switch rooms as the room I had not one of the phones or any of the lines would work. So I had to wait and move rooms. I am not sure I like the L shape couch in the Palazo that much and a lot of the items do not work right yet like the doors to my mini bar do not stay shut. I agree that there are NO OUTLETS at the table, what a PITA. The clock, OK folks I'm no genius but I can usually find out how to progam a clock and this one here neither myself, the bell boy, or the chamber maid can figure out how to change the time as the time is off. We can program the alarm but not change the time that is set. As far as the gambling goes, I'm not sure I like the feel of this casino, the layout. It just feels strange, not used to it plus got no action last night on the tables either. If I wasn't so tired I was going to go back to Venetian last night but after switching rooms said for get it. I'll of course try it out again today
Also, maybe it was the neighbors or such, but folks going into another room, sounds exactly like they are entering my room, so maybe the walls are thin or I'm in a bad location or my neighbors are loud but I noticed it three times and I'm not sensitive to noise, sounds exactly like they are opening my door and entering my room.
Now I gotta go check the safe as you made me paranoid.
But on a positive note, the VIP Lounge and staff are still top notch. Very helpful in arranging items. For me the host makes all the difference and I have not had a good host at Bellagio or Wynn yet. Hopefully it is just the opening bugs that need to get worked out.
