The Palazzo Hotel Finally Gets Its Grand Opening

by Heather on January 14th, 2008

The Palazzo Hotel, which had a small, unofficial opening just before New Year’s, is set to officially open on January 19th.

The Grand Opening Weekend will feature performances by Diana Ross, Seal, Andy Garcia & The Cineson All-Stars, the cast of Jersey Boys, along with some surprise guest appearances for the Luminaries and Legends concert. The event will be hosted by Wayne Brady. Tickets can be purchased here.

The Palazzo Hotel/Resort/Casino is the first new hotel to open on the Strip in three years since the Wynn opened in April 2005.

The resort also originally had a different name: Lido, for the resort island that separates Venice, Italy, from the Adriatic Sea:

“Right from the beginning, we wanted both properties [the Palazzo and the Venetian] to be equal distance from the meeting space,” Executive Vice President Brad Stone said. “The basic layout of the building remained the same. The idea was for the two resorts to be connected, but present themselves as completely different products.”

He likened the transition pathway between The Venetian and Palazzo as the property’s “Times Square.” When a large trade show is housed in the Sands Expo and Convention Center, thousands of guests can parade between Palazzo and The Venetian throughout the day.
