As was first heralded some time ago, the Venetian and Palazzo resorts in Las Vegas have now joined IHG as 'Alliance Resorts'.

Priority Club members can now earn and redeem at the properties, in a city where the three big loyalty programmes - HHonors, Marriott Rewards and Priority Club - have hitherto been largely absent from the operations of the most premium properties.

This is excellent news, especially as IHG has lost some "Jewel in the Crown" properties recently, including Muscat's Al Bustan Palace and several of their German properties.
...though I would avoid staying at The Venetian/Palazzo in LV.
The Tower Suites at www.wynnlasvegas.com are far superior, and unlike the other casino properties, actually have a service focus sadly lacking in the many dormitory hotels which line the Strip.
Have you stayed at this property recently cc?

Vegas baby!!! :o)
Sadly i am too young (20) :( I think i would still stay here cause high rollers or whales get free private jets if you spend in excess of $300k ;)

Have you considered applying for the post of Shadow Chancellor? ;)
Apologies for the delay VintageKrug; yes, coincidentally, I have indeed recently stayed at The Palazzo - mostly thanks to an aggressive promotion that rendered my personal preference for The Wynn to be unjustifiable.
Overall, I was reasonably impressed and enjoyed a Stripview upgrade as a Royal Ambassador - although other RAs should note that both The Venetian and The Palazzo limit the famous 'minibar' amenity to a USD100 credit per stay rather than free use and daily replenishment.
Service was very good; decor a bit gloomy; Royal Ambassador Lounge a useful facility (though cheese and biscuits at breakfast time were something of an oddity) and bed comfortable. Bathroom toiletries were very 3* and the lack of any kind of tea and coffee-making facilities in the rooms - sorry 'suites' - was disappointing.
Have these people not heard of the Nespresso Hotel Programme?!
Pools at this stage of the year are in shade until after Noon.
Two nights netted 5000 PC points based on stay credit and ongoing promotion registration, as well as 'adding a brand' to my tally for the current Q4 promo:

In the people tradition's traveling idea, some traveling shopping's hobby, some people often “tour” the expenditure in the traveling not to be big, actually spends one great money for the shopping. How then not colored or little wastes money? ? First is as far as possible little goes shopping in the traveling, because went shopping the inconvenient travel, moreover the tourist area general price is high, went shopping is not worthwhile. At the same time, it is noteworthy that was sure to remember that not buys dear the heavy thing. Because of some tourist areas in view of customer fluidity major characteristic, in sell valuables time, often uses each method to sell the counterfeit commodity. If has bought these valuables, once after the tourist comes back, discovered that will be swindled will also be unable because of Lu Yuaner with it theory, have to confessed bad luck.
