Palazzo, the brand new resort-hotel-casino will finally have it's grand opening on the weekend of January 17--19. The new towers of the resort will have over 3,000 rooms, all suites. Many new fine dining restaurants and high end shopping stores. Barney's New York, well known for their men's and women's apparel, will have a large two story department store located in the new Palazzo. The large casino, over 100,000 square feet with a square layout, hopefully making it easy to navigate.

The grand opening event on January 19th is a concert by Diana Ross. Tickets start at $121.50 for the concert. Wayne Brady and the cast of the "Jersey Boys" will also be there to perform. The "Jersey Boys' is the new show production which will be performed at the new theater in the Palazzo. This production from broadway is about the rags to riches tale of Frankie Valli and the Fours Seasons. Including all their hit sings we all know.

The Palazzo will have over a dozen new restaurants for everyone to enjoy. The types of restaurants include French cuisine, Italina cuisine, Mexican cuisine, American steakhouse and seafood, Asian cuisine and another Grand Lux cafe. Nothing quick, easy and cheap!

The slot club at the Venetian, the new Club Grazie, will be used at the Palazzo casino. Club Grazie was just started at the end of 2007. So if you have an old slot club card from the Venetian, time for a new one. All the rooms, stores, and restaurants may not be open until early spring. But time now to halt in and take a look at the new hotel-casino open on the strip!
