I was curious to get some specifics on the Fontainebleau auction and after a few emails I was able to get the information I was seeking. Of course I found that there’s some good and bad news for those interested.
Good News
Bad News
The “Today” show covered the “Death Ray” at Vdara in Las Vegas this morning.
The first I read about this was on Vegas Tripping, I thought it was silly. I started to laugh a little when hearing Five Hundy By Midnight talk about it on their podcast. Now I’m bored with it although Steve from The Strip Podcast is featured in the video above and he’s usually very cheerful.
I’ve stayed at the Palazzo for my past two trips to Las Vegas and enjoyed the suites both times I stayed. This time I figured I’d stay with (Enrico) Palazzo’s sister (whoa) the Venetian. Poor girl’s insides haven’t aged very well.
The Palazzo is still relatively new, so I was expecting a little wear and tear on the Venetian suite, but there was a little more than I expected. Fortunately, the bathroom was still in excellent shape. The shower and tube were spotless and cleaned daily.
The vanities both had marble tops and gold fixtures.
Unlike the Bally’s room I had in Atlantic City there was nothing gaudy about anything in the bathroom.
Unlike the Palazzo suites, the door to the water closet does not shut automatically. That’s a good thing.
