The Palazzo is slowly starting to take shape. The new hotel being built between The Wynn and The Venetian is set to open later this year (though more likely early next year), but for those who can’t wait to see what it looks like, here’s an artist’s impression!
The main hotel is the large left building, while the building towards the right is a new condo that’s being built as part of the new complex. You can just about see the existing Venetian sandwiched between the two.
Although the new condo’s rooms should have glorious views of the strip (and which should remain glorious, given that the land either side is owned by Sands), it does look very prominent - I’m not sure how well it’ll fit in with the rest of the Palazzo/Venetian development. You can certainly tell it was designed after The Palazzo, as it almost looks like it’s just plonked there as an afterthought!
