The Palazzo hotel in Las Vegas opened with fireworks, a light show and music from Diana Ross at the weekend. The $1.9 billion resort is the sister of the nine year old Venetian and, with 7,100 rooms combined, claims to be the largest hotel in the world.
But Hotel Chatter said its first visit was a bit of a let down.
Granted, it's still the first few days of opening but the place was dead. We can't ever recall being in such a dead gambling hall before.
In a town where over-the-top glitz and glamour are the norm - and with Las Vegas visitor rates slowing - is the Palazzo worth the hype?

That is a terrifyingly large hotel. Considering your earlier post on this year's trend of 'greening' the hotel industry, I wonder where sustainability has been worked into the development of the Palazzo.

I saw the Palazzo being built when I was in vegas last December and it is absolutely enormous, shame about Diana Ross though!
