Best for travelers who want spacious all-suite accommodations, immediate access to the Strip and an expansive on-site conference and shopping complex.
When Red Rock wins: choose Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa if you want a resort removed from Strip crowds, a multi-acre seasonal pool complex with family and adults-only options, on-site attractions like bowling and easy access to outdoor day trips (Red Rock Canyon, golf).
When The Palazzo wins: pick The Palazzo at The Venetian if you need very large suites, want to stay in the heart of the Strip with quick walking access to shows, shopping and nightlife, or require enormous meeting and event space tied to The Venetian complex.
