theres a good deal at the moment $179 pn. but i already have the venetian at 199 for 2n and 239 for 2n
venezia tower upgrade .. that seems to mean lounge access is this so?
is it worth changing the booking?

It depends on what is meant by "upgrade." Rooms booked in the Venetian tower can be "upgraded" to the Venezia tower which is essentially the same type room. Lounge access is what refers to the Concierge Lounge and that is for bookings in the Venezia Concierge rooms, i.e. Luxury, Bella and Medici suites.

thanks king alien
do i find u at table 21 on 26-30 march?the website is very misleading!

VENEZIA AMENITIES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SERVICE & APPROACH
ACCOMMODATIONS
POOL GARDEN COURTYARD WEDDING CHAPEL
BOUCHON RESTAURANT
CONCIERGE LOUNGE
wouldnt that mean that when one is in the venezia tower one gets these amenities.?
I would imagine that if one is in the venezia tower and it offers lounge access that one should get it but i called the reception today and they have advised that it is an extra $100 per day.
what are the drink offerings in the evening?
Do they offer french champagne if so then it is worth it for me b ut not for my travelling companions.
I called the front desk the day before I booked she said yes venezia tower gets you lounge access.
I do wisht hey would listen to the question asked!
I dont want to expect lounge access and then not get it as I can get the palazzo for a lot less.
I see that the palazzo has some problems but is it really worth $50 a day extra for the venetian.
I mean how bad can the newest hotel on the strip be?

Not likely, I've been to LV only once this year :eek:. Basically bogged down with work :(.

Venezia Tower has regular suites and concierge level suites. Based on the rate you indicated you're likely just going to get a regular suite which is very similar to the Venetian tower suite.

It is about $100 a day extra which is not worth it. I believe it may be less on a weekday. You can plug in your dates into the regular online reservation and you'll likely get the different rates which will include separate Venezia tower concierge level rates (assuming they are not sold out).

See this the consolidated Venetian thread for more info, starting with the post from this link:

Consider the $20 (or more) Trick and get an upgrade to concierge level.

thanks kingalien for addressing my questions so quickly
:)

Glad to be of help. With all the great eats in Vegas, access to concierge level is no biggie unless it is free. Also keep in mind Venetzia tower is a bit of a hike to get to the casino. Have fun.

Just back from a 4 night stay at the Palazzo.

The rooms are nicely appointed. (I had a "regular" suite). There were 3 Plasma/LCD (I'm not sure which) televisions in the room. A 42" in the bedroom area, a 32" in the sitting area and a smaller one in the bathroom. Minibar is standard in the room. The room also has a remote that works the drapes, which was kind of cool.

Room service was prompt and took care of pretty much everything I asked for. They even brought me something to heat water for my tea.

The only construction I saw still going on was with the shops. The casino was completed and, (my floor at least) was completed.

I'm not sure why they decided to put another Grand Lux Cafe in when there is one over at the Venetian, but that is the main "general" cafeteria there. Didn't see a Food Court-type establishment like they have over at the Venetian and I'm not sure if one is on the drawing board or not.

Overall, it was a very pleasant stay and I look forward to staying there again.

Plus, you can't beat Las Vegas weather in March. :D

so at $179 is it worth it
or

is it worth paying another 40++ per night for the venetian?(4 nights 2 rooms)

I'd have to ask what you are getting for the extra $40 per night at the Venetian? Is that with Concierge service? If so, and you think you would make use of the Concierge service, I would do that. But after reading the room appointments at the Venezia towers, it sounds very similar to what is offered at the Palazzo (the Palazzo may even be a bit nicer with the plasma tv's and the remote drapes). I had turndown service each night in my room, minibar, etc. So unless that extra $40 is including something I don't know about, I'd go for the Palazzo. :)

I like the Grand Lux ok but the thing is, you are in Las Vegas where tons of fabulous restaurants and food abounds.

The Grand Lux I will do but only if there is NO line and I'm craving the Pasta Telefono (which I sometimes am) :D

no it is upgrade to venezia tower only. I was really going to change to palazzo till I called the res line and the girl recommended that I stay at the venetian.:rolleyes:
im not into casino and want to be as close to the strip as possible. I checked out the venezia tower on googleearth and it seems a long way to walk to the street.

I hate to break it to you, but anywhere you stay is gonna be a long walk to the Strip. :D They deliberately design these properties so that the rooms are at the back and you have to walk through the Casino to get out to the street. I suppose the Palazzo has some kind of entrance/exit to the Strip from the hotel but what I did was walk through the Grand Canal shops on the second level over to the Venetian exit and accessed the Strip that way.

It's still a lot shorter to exit than from the Venetzia tower :).

Walking from the Palazzo through the Canal shops over to the Venetian is a shorter walk than walking from the Venetzia Towers? :eek:
Where are these towers located? Tahoe?? :D

Palazzo - Venetian Access?
 

I've been looking for a site with floor plans for the Palazzo, but can't find one. Is the internal access from the Palazzo to the Venetian fairly painless? I'm staying at the Palazzo, but playing in a slot tournament at the Venetian, so I'll have to make the trip back and forth several times.
