16 Best Hotels in Las Vegas

"The Palazzo is the extravagant younger sibling of The Venetian (both are part of The Venetian Resort) and was planned around the same kind of Renaissance Italian aesthetic. Each of the hotels has its own rotunda entrance; on the Palazzo side, rather than being all gold, there's an amazing crystal sculpture of women that's actually a two-level fountain. It's both modern and reminiscent of classical sculpture. It has the largest standard rooms on the Strip—700-square-foot bilevel suites with L-shaped sofas—and a slightly quieter atmosphere than Venetian’s family-forward vibe. Venetian and Palazzo have always had so many dining options, but in recent years, they've really turbo-charged the hip options, like Rosina, an intimate, Art Deco lounge right at the base of the guest room elevators in Palazzo. And the Prestige upgrade is well worth the money for the largest standard rooms on the Strip, and at less money than a hotel room in most other cities." - Andrea Bennett
