Free Room in Vegas, why not?
May 7, 2008 by nnowack
When I get a chance to go to Vegas for free, I normally don’t pass it up. As my cousin Karsten tells me he’s heading to Vegas in May, I conveniently get an offer to stay at the new Palazzo Casino and Resort for 3 free nights in a suite. So 110 dollars later and a 45 minute flight on Southwest, and I’m out in Las Vegas, or Viva Las Vegas, Lost Wages, Sin City, and The City of Lights for 3 day trip of fun.
Every year, Vegas gets bigger, adds new resorts, new casinos, new restaurants, and new shows, I feel that it almost never gets old. I saw “almost”, because if you ask more people, they wouldn’t be able to spend more then 5 straight days there due to the heat, smoke, lack of sleep, hangovers, or gambling losses. This trip was no exception. I arrived on Thursday, I checked into my free suite at Palazzo, took some photos, and played some poker. Karsten, Paliga, and Brown arrived later that afternoon and we ate, gambled, and drank our usual tunes. On Friday, we enjoyed the wave pool and large crowds at the Mandalay pool, as this is where they were staying. That night we dined at Lawry’s Prime Rib, something not to be missed in Vegas.
As many of you know, I’ve been doing reviews for a company called Vezeo.com and this trip I was to review this newly opened Casino resort as well as a few restaurants. Once I get around to writing my article, it will get posted on the website and everyone will be able to read it. But until then, please enjoy these photos.
Palazzo is owned by the Venetian company and is directly next door. It is smaller then the Venetian, but still has some very nice amenities throughout this resort. Some of the shops are still being completed, but others are open like the famous East Coast store, Barney’s New York. Restaurants are scattered throughout the hotel from Asian or Italian, to what is reportedly an amazing upscale steak place by Wolfgang Puck called Cut.
The resort is A+ in my book, from the beds, to the restaurants, to the friendly staff. I didn’t get to go shopping, or drink at any of their bars, but I’m sure I’ll be making future stops at this soon to be popular Northern Strip Casino.
