The Palazzo /pəˈlɑːtsoʊ/ (also known as The Palazzo at The Venetian) is a luxury hotel and casino resort located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The Palazzo is part of a larger entertainment complex comprising the adjoining Venetian resort and Venetian Expo, all owned by Vici Properties and operated by Apollo Global Management. The complex ranks as the second-largest hotel in the world.

The Palazzo was developed by Las Vegas Sands as a sister property to the Venetian, which opened in 1999. Construction commenced in September 2004, and the property began a phased opening on December 30, 2007. The $1.9 billion hotel features an Italian theme, including a 105,000 sq ft (9,800 m²) casino, 3,066 hotel suites in a 50-story tower, and the 875,000 sq ft (81,300 m²) Grand Canal Shoppes.

In 2008, Palazzo became the largest LEED-certified building in the world when it achieved Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. It was sold to Apollo Global Management and Vici Properties in February 2022 for $6.25 billion.

History

Background

The Palazzo serves as a sister property to The Venetian and was developed by businessman Sheldon Adelson through his company Las Vegas Sands. The groundwork laid for the Palazzo began in 1997 with plans to create a second resort, reputedly named Lido. Initial construction delays followed, postponing development until after the Venetian reached completion. The site previously housed motels dating back to 1949, most notably the Tam O'Shanter and Vagabond Inn, which were demolished to make way for the Palazzo.

The casino's foundation commenced in September 2004. Significant excavation was undertaken for an underground parking garage with 4,400 spaces, and the total construction cost amounted to $1.9 billion.

Opening and subsequent years

The resort opened its casino on December 30, 2007, followed by a full hotel inauguration on January 4, 2008, celebrating with a grand opening from January 17-19, featuring performances by Diana Ross and Seal. By 2009, it had received the AAA Five Diamond Award and was included on Travel + Leisure's list of the world's best hotels.

In late 2020, Las Vegas Sands aimed to divest its Las Vegas assets, following plans for growth in Macau. By January 2021, the sold properties, including The Palazzo, were transferred to the new owners for a sum of $6.25 billion, solidifying their presence in the Las Vegas Strip.

Features

The Palazzo covers 7,500,000 square feet (700,000 m²) and features a 105,000 sq ft (9,800 m²) gaming area. The 50-story tower is primarily an all-suite hotel featuring modern designs influenced by upscale locations like Rodeo Drive and Beverly Hills.

The Palazzo showcases various luxury shopping options at the Grand Canal Shoppes, and includes the Waterfall Atrium that presents seasonal displays at no charge.

Restaurants and clubs

Since opening, The Palazzo has hosted many renowned dining establishments, featuring options from chefs like Wolfgang Puck and Emeril Lagasse. Noteworthy restaurants include Majordomo Meat & Fish, typically focusing on steak and seafood, as well as various other dining options that have opened and closed throughout its history.

Live entertainment

The Palazzo has hosted various performances over the years including the Tony Award-winning show Jersey Boys, which ran from 2008 to 2011, and most recently, Six, a musical focusing on the lives of Henry VIII’s wives.
