Just finished a 2-night stay at Palazzo last week and we loved it.
Technically it was 2 stays booked with Amex FHR - one under my name and the other under my wife's. This way we received the daily benefits of welcome wine, $65 for breakfast, and a $100 food credit on both days.
There is a dedicated line for FHR reservations. Checkin was quick and a letter was prepared to let us know all the benefits we have during our stay. Guaranteed 4 pm late checkout was almost a must-have at vegas, so you don't have to rush in the morning.
Breakfast at Grand Lux Cafe was really good. French toast was the best we ever had. Generous portion and fantastic service.
The $100 food credit can be used at 15 restaurants and bars. Make sure you make reservations.

I was able to book a Chase certificate night last June. I wanted 2 but had to book elsewhere for my first night instead.

Just a heads up and another blow to Vegas properties, the Venetian and Palazzo will start to charge for parking, unless you're a mid-tier or higher member of their rewards program, Grazie Rewards.
This, combibed with the Hyatt/MGM snafu, will have me stay away from Vegas for a while.

but... the ADR in Vegas is still lower than other major cities—still some of the cheapest luxury in the world. But, I ask... Do you get free parking at luxury hotels in London? Paris? New York? Chicago? Miami? Washington DC? Oahu?

Stay away? Vegas is so much more than parking. (Do people choose a luxury vacay destination based on parking??)

New York - MTA NYC Subway/Metro North/LIRR/NJ Transit
Chicago - CTA/METRA
Miami - Miami Dade Transit/SFRTA/Brightline
D.C - WMATA/MTA Maryland
....
Vegas: Rate + Resort Fee + Parking as they dont have comprehensive transit options as I listed above..
And yes, if I transfer my CC points to Hyatt and subsequently redeem, parking is free.
Not everyone's travel patterns are the same. This is simply sharing information, as well as my opinion to help others make more informed decisions when traveling to the area.

You also have The Duece and a monorail.
I ask again, where do you get free parking at a luxury hotel in a major city globally?

Just finished a very good 4 night stay and points have already posted (2000 base + 2000 diamond + 10000 for the current promotion). I was handed this regarding IHG benefits - thought it might be of use; the certainly the most bizarre welcome letter I've had in some time.

If baccarat_king says the prestige lounge is something good, than it must be worthwhile.
I read RA can check in at the VIP-lounge (the inferior lounge)
wonder how much the upsell is for Prestige lounge (the superior lounge) aka special price for RA

The other really nice option are the suites in the Venezia Tower, some have small gardens. These are also super convenient to Bouchon, my 2nd favorite place for breakfast (in Vegas).
