Hey - I'm back with another update in my trip-to-Vegas itinerary. Today's addition is Carnevale at the Palazzo. This is a brand new thing apparently, or at least something I've never heard of. It lasts pretty much all summer, and is a nightly show that includes a parade nightly through the Palazzo and Venetian casino, ending by the gondola rides out front (here's a map ) at 8:00 and some kind of light show hourly starting at 9:15. There is also some sort of "complimentary" party at the Azure club nightly starting at 9:00, I'll probably skip that though, as it's not really my scene. They also list children's activities and say "price varies", meaning it probably ain't cheap to keep the kiddies busy.
So it appears to be a free way to kill a bit of time. Judging from the pictures, the theme seems to be "Renaissance" Carnevale, rather than the crazy semi-nekkid street parties of Rio Carnevale. A bit of a disappointment, to tell the truth, but it looks worth checking out anyway. And hey, its free. What's better than free.
So, as a service to any potential stalkers, here is my itinerary thus far, in no particular order.
- Holsteins Shakes and Buns at the Cosmopolitan
- Mob Museum downtown
- Margaritaville at the Flamingo
- Public House at the Venetian
- Carnevale - at the Palazzo
