Palazzo: How it rates

Los Angeles Times Staff Writer

How it rates: * * *

New and noteworthy: The $1.9-billion hotel, spa, casino and shopping mall is the first new resort on the Strip in three years.

The stay: You decide: It’s either calm and cozy inside the luxurious suite or insane and wonderfully sinful outside in the casino, shops and restaurants.

The scene: For the grand opening weekend, the place was stuffed with journalists and VIPs, though locals and tourists filled the casino.

Deal maker: Every room is a tricked-out suite, and in a 50-story tower, most have views.

Deal breaker: Until all of the amenities -- spa, restaurants, shops, pool and more -- are done, the luxury room rates compare badly with other local luxe resorts.

Stats: 3325 Las Vegas Blvd. S.; (866) 263-3001, www.palazzolasvegas.com.
