The Venetian's Palazzo tower will open December 20, 2007 in the first of a wave of hotel tower openings. Wynn's Encore is scheduled to open in late 2008, MGM's CityCenter and the Fontainebleau will open in November 2009 and Echelon Place will open in September 2010.
The Palazzo is a $1.8 billion project which has been described as a "world-class luxury hotel, casino and resort with a design and ambiance reminiscent of high-end locales such as Beverly Hills, Bel-Air and Rodeo Drive." The 50 story hotel will be the second tallest building in Las Vegas, after the Trump Tower. The additional 3,068 rooms will make the Venetian and Sands Expo and Convention Center the largest resort and hotel complex in the world, with approximately 7,074 hotel rooms.
Some of the new features of the Palazzo will be a 60 foot glassed domed entry lobby featuring a two-story fountain. There will also be a 450,000 square foot enclosed shopping, dining and entertainment complex, which will have around 80 shops and restaurants. The retail mall which will be connected to the Grand Canal shops will open in January 2008. The Palazzo will have a new 4,000-space underground parking garage in which elevators and escalators will carry visitors from the garage directly to the center of the casino.
