Changes to the Palazzo casino

[Evoni]

So with all the construction and curtained off areas going on at Palazzo as mentioned by Trey and Ken, I asked my ex host who now works for Hotel management about it. He said they won't be making the Palazzo casino smaller that he expects all slots will eventually be returned to the casino floor and he feels after the renovations are done next year the casino will look a lot better.

The gift shop near the room elevators, the bathrooms on that side and what has been walled off since Dos Caminos restaurant (this was a large space they have been using or private events) closed a few years ago will be turned into retail. Next year the casino floor is being reworked at Palazzo and the Laguna Champagne lounge will be changing names, becoming taller to stand out more and I guess perhaps the theme is changing too.

The escalators near the player's club that goes up to the 2nd floor and also directly leads into Table 10 is being moved next year because they feel it blocks out what will once again be restaurant space behind it from being noticed. Where Trotters used to be years ago there will be a new restaurant next year. That is the space behind where the escalators currently are in Palazzo and like the former Dos Caminos area it has been walled off and not noticeable.

Hong Kong Cafe opens up the end of this month where Zines used to be in Palazzo.

I'll try and find out more around the end of the year or early next year.

Also the Palazzo rooms are getting renovated next year.

Thanks for the update Diana! I'm now wondering if I should change my reservation to Venetian for Manette's bday if there's going to be a lot of construction going on at Palazzo next month. :/

I was good with it too, but Barrett tells me it's going to be a big improvement once it's finished at some point next year. We shall see. :) Hopefully I'll at least like the new restaurants.

It might be worth considering as Venetian's rooms are already renovated. My suggestion if you switch is to tell them do not want a room in the Venezia Tower at Venetian as that not only results in a much longer walk from your room to anywhere at V/P but you have to take a elevator from the Venetian lobby to the elevators that take you to the rooms at Venezia Tower.

My family will be staying at Palazzo during part of our Thanksgiving trip and I'm disappointed that a lot of my favorite slots will likely still be put in storage due to the construction.

They gotta do it sometime. I just wished they had waited till after the new year... You know, when I won't be there. Haha

Thanks @ Evoni, I was getting a little worried but this actually sounds pretty positive in the long run. I hope they keep it more sedate than the Venetian side, like it has been in the past, but I wouldn't mind having those empty spaces turned into something worthwhile. I wonder they will put the escalator. It blocks a lot of space the way it is nw, but I do like the easy access to Grimaldi's and Table 10. It will be fun to see how it all shakes out!

@SoCalRob (http://jweforum.com/member.php?u=225), I would change to Venetian if I were you (or come on down to Cosmo!), but follow Diana's advice and specify no Venezia Tower. I only had it once and I prefer not to stay there again for precisely the reasons Dina mentioned.

I hope some of your slots are back for Thanksgiving Diana!

Diana, even though I am not a Palazzo Princess I hope that they do not end up doing like a lot of casinos do with an update and make changes for the worse when it comes to the slot floor and selection. Everyone raves that it is the best casino in Vegas. It would be a shame to ruin what seems like a good thing.

[SoCalRob]

Whatever happened to "If it isn't broke. don't fix it?"

[Cyndyga]

Thanks for the info! I look forward to seeing the finished product and if I go to Vegas in March I think I will stay at Venetian this time :)

[TwoArmedBandito]

Thanks for the inside info Diana! I really hope it will be better. We shall see.
Pallazo has a lot of under utilized space. Dead zones. The new baccarat area. Where the tournament slots use to be. The video poker area by high limit area.
I like the openness of it and hope it doesn't turn into a maze like Venetian.

[Georgiagambler]

Thanks for the info, I will be there in a few days staying at Palazzo- hope it won't be too bad. This is a quickie trip anyway so I probably won't miss too much this time. I'm still excited to go even though I know there's a lot of changes going on.

I'm thinking the same thing since I'm staying at Palazzo during part of my Thanksgiving trip.

I'll try and remember to ask Barrett where the escalator is being moved too. I had the impression from him that he has seen the floor plans for the changes. I have the feeling the slots won't be back in time for my trip so I'll be spending more time in the Venetian casino or perhaps I'll risk some money at Wynn where I usually lose. LOL

I'm hoping the same Don. It always makes me nervous when they start switching things up, though Barrett seems to think it's really going to be a big improvement when everything is finished at some point next year and I'm crossing my fingers I feel the same. :)

Likely a good idea especially since those rooms have already been renovated. :)

I agree with you Ken. I don't think it will turn into a maze though as I was told their new President is trying to go more toward the classy/luxury end of things. Not sure if I should be worried about that or not. hehe

I'm sure you will have a great time despite some of the missing slots. Have fun on your trip and win lots! I'm usually over at the Venetian casino more then Palazzo even though I'm staying at Palazzo and so far it doesn't sound like any changes are currently going on this year with that casino like in years past.

The "gaming" day starts over at 3am, right? I won't get there until almost midnight, thinking it will be better to wait until after 3 before I start playing so my ADT is better. Can anyone confirm? Thanks

Good question and I wouldn't mind knowing the exact time myself as up until now I just play whatever the time I feel like it and assumed it happened around 6am. The player's club should still be open when you arrive so if you ask them that question, please let me know what they say.

I think Darlene checked for me back in August but I can't find the thread, I'm still looking.
