Destination
Las Vegas is a city that has ceaselessly re-invented itself since its birth over sixty years ago, when the first casino hotel was built along the desert-bound highway known as "The Strip." Today, The Strip encompasses a three-mile long, mile-wide swath of hotels, casinos, restaurants, and showrooms, creating a phenomenon that some have referred to as the greatest gathering of live entertainment on earth. Your home in Las Vegas will be the world-class Palazzo Resort at The Venetian Resort-Hotel-Casino located in the very center of The Strip and only minutes away from most restaurants and entertainment. So if you are looking for how best to spend your free time in Las Vegas, but not certain where to go or what to do, relax! Your Align events team has compiled a list of some of the best entertainment, attractions, restaurants, and activities currently available, along with direct contact information so that you can book reservations where and when you like. These venues are all appropriate for individuals, couples, or team outings.
Dining Options
Las Vegas resort casinos are home to some of the world's most renowned chefs and amazing culinary experiences. The Palazzo has an excellent selection of restaurants, including CUT by Wolfgang Puck, RESTAURANT CHARLIE by Charlie Trotter, and SUSHISAMBA.
If you are looking for something outside of the hotel, try one these restaurant options, each trying to out dazzle the others in service, ambience, and cuisine:
AGO in the Hard Rock Hotel

Venetian/Palazzo, The Shoppes at The Palazzo: Anchored by Barneys New York.- Venetian, Grand Canal Shoppes: Dozens of upscale boutiques lining the pathways and canals of Venice.

Activities
To walk or take a taxi? Walking is recommended if the destination is next door or across the street or perhaps one property away. We recommend transportation for most other excursions unless you are an avid walker. Because of the tremendous size of buildings along The Strip, none of them appear to be very far away. Don't be fooled! Other options include city buses and tram buses that operate along Las Vegas Boulevard, plus a monorail that operates behind the resorts on the east side of Las Vegas Boulevard. Taxis are plentiful but even so you will probably encounter a wait during early evening rush. For a complete outline of Las Vegas transportation possibilities, please go to www.goingtovegas.com.
