Palazzo opening official

January 2nd, 2008 by Dave

Yes, it had a very soft opening last weekend, but in my mind the Palazzo is now really open for business: its carpet is immortalized in the Die is Cast casino carpet gallery.

Clearly the color palette is related to the Venetian’s, yet it is different enough to have its own identity. But it still all comes down to circles and flowers. Remember, life is fleeting, so double down and live fast! But only if you take your marching orders from floor coverings.

As an update from the other day, here is a shot of the “three women ascending to heaven on a Tron light beam:”
