The Pool at The Palazzo at The Venetian

"View the entire 2011 Gold List of the world's best places to stay › Also appeared in the Gold List in 2010 Amenities: Pool, Spa The Palazzo doesn't do anything dramatically different from its competitors—it just does it better"

"The pool: The Palazzo has one of the Strip's largest pool decks, a humongous complex with private whirlpools, statues, and gardens galore"

"Its world-class spa, 10 pools, busy casino, and name-brand fine dining all connect to its sister property, the Venetian, via an haute couture mall"

"While the Palazzo shares the Venetian's spa and other activities, the resort does have its own pool area, where guests can cool off in an Olympic-sized pool with wading lounges and Strip views"

"Fans “feel like royalty” and would "return in a heartbeat" to this “awesome” all-suite Strip resort (connected to the neighboring Venetian), where “huge”, “luxurious” accommodations boast high-end finishes (think "fantastic" marble-appointed baths and remote-controlled Roman shades) and the “excellent” staff is “beyond friendly”; there’s a near-endless choice of "outstanding" things to do, with “amazing” shops (including a Lamborghini showroom), several resident shows, a number of "nice" dining options, a celeb-heavy pool area and a large casino that’s “full of energy"

"Italian opulence is the vibe here, complete with a waterfall in the atrium and a five-acre roof deck dotted with Roman-style pools"

"There are seven solar-heated swimming pools and four hot tubs to play in (though not all are open year-round)"

"A $29 resort fee now includes access to the fitness center situated inside the Canyon Ranch Spa Club, but an additional $35 surcharge is added to your bill if you want to access the whirlpools, saunas, etc"

"Though, you can always embrace the sun and lounge in the Palazzo’s whopping seven pools"
