The Palazzo Of Excess

/ Editor / 18 January 2008 / Leave a comment

ANOTHER day. Another casino opening. All hail The Palazzo, Las Vegas. Come one, come all. Bring your wallet...

A hush descends as Las Vegas Sands Corp. Chairman Sheldon G. Adelson's flips a switch and triggers music, light, and firework display. The new $1.9 billion resort is open.

"As we began the design and development of The Venetian in 1995, we always envisioned a second property that would complement and work in unison with the Sands Expo Center to provide the most unique and varied destination resort experience anywhere in the world," says Mr. Adelson.

"In many ways, the opening of The Palazzo represents for us the completion of a vision that started with the construction of The Venetian. For our guests, it provides a new experience and opportunity to savour some of the world's best dining, shopping, accommodations and entertainment all under one roof."

It is a world away from the sun and air, what living in a massive spaceship would be like.

Insides is a 85,000-square-foot Barneys New York department store, a two-story waterfall, branches of Chloe, Tory Burch, Christian Louboutin, Diane Von Furstenberg, Van Cleef & Arpels, Anya Hindmarch, Poleci, Lambertson Truex, Phillipe Charriol, Edidi, Piaget and Michael Kors.

More?

There's a 65,000-square-foot Canyon Ranch SpaClub and a Lamborghini showroom.

Perfect for that spontaneous purchase. Only, how do you drive it back to the UK?
