Changes to the Grazie Gold Lounge and Platinum Room

[Evoni]

I was staying at Palazzo during the week of St. Patrick's day and playing in the Venetian HL room when I noticed the Gold lounge was closed at 11pm. I asked one of the slot attendants about it and this is what he had to say about upcoming changes to both the Grazie Gold Lounge and Platinum VIP lounge at Palazzo. I don't know this for a fact but he sure acted like he knew what he was talking about.

Starting around April 4th or so the Platinum VIP lounge at Palazzo will only have food from 6am until 9pm at night instead of 24 hours as in the past. It will be open 24 hours a day for drinks and VIP reservation.

The Gold Lounge at Venetian will have drinks but no more food in the offering. I hope he is wrong about his and they at least have fruit or cookies. According to the employee I spoke to there are too many gold members and a lot of them have been eating all their meals in there so it's been costing Venetian too much money and this is there way of putting a stop to that. He said at some point in the future when there are less Gold members (not sure if he meant because they will be making changes to the number of points needed or what) they may go back to having food in there at that point.

We'll see if what I was told is accurate but during my stay they already went to the new hours for food at the Platinum lounge at Palazzo so some of it at least is correct.

Thanks for the report Diana. Honestly, I can't imagine people eating all their meals in the Gold Lounge! I've only visited a few times and if I remember correctly, there was really only crackers, cheese and cookies offered?

The gold lounge had a daily soup, finger sandwiches with ham, roast beef, etc..fruit, cookies, cheese and crackers, and sometimes a salad. I agree it's not where I would want to take all my meals.

Talk to @goldengreeke .This is his fault lol.

We've been talking about the only Gold benefit we use is a quick snack and coffee. Thanks for the heads up. Will be there in 2ish weeks.

Lol, the year I went without Sharon and had Ting for a room mate, I had lost almost my whole bankroll the first night and did eat both breakfast and lunch in the Gold lounge to save what little money I had left.

Ha ha! I guess, I really didn't pay attention to the food offerings I tend to stay and play at Palazzo and it's a hike to the Gold Lounge at the Venetian.

Locals ruining it for all the outta town people if they go visit daily after achieving gold or platinum
I have never been in either lounge but I doubt the food described in gold can put a huge dent in Sheldon's pockets.

Have a great time and let me know in your live TR if the man was correct or not!

Hopefully they will still have something in the way of snacks.

I can understand that, after all you already paid for those snacks with your losses.

I agree, I mainly use the Platinum lounge at Palazzo.

Most locals or so I have been told don't gamble on the strip that much so I suspect it was just the sheer amounts of Gold members they have since a few years ago they lowered the points to make Gold to 20k. If this change is indeed implemented I think it will save them from also having the employee stationed at the gold lounge door checking to see if the cards and ID's match up to enter.
