Some guests report key cards not working properly, others report some unfinished room amenities like a mini-bar with no drinks and holes in the wall. But for the most part, people liked the Palazzo and were very understanding of these minor glitches.<p>One thing that stands out are the complaints about having to use the Canyon Ranch Spa in the Venetian.

Their second-floor suite features a changing-table, baby-soothing music, and a lactation consultant on call. All for $500 a night.

When we looked online for rooms tonight, the prices listed started at $499 for a Palazzo Luxury room with a king bed but were sold out.<p>We then called the reservations line to see if the rooms were open and the number listed for the Palazzo suite reservations forwarded us to the Venetian reservations line. Finally, after a wait of about 10 minutes an operator came on the phone and detailed some of our Palazzo lodging options.<p>Here's the breakdown: <br>&#183; <b>Jan 11-13</b>: Confirmed views of the strip at $299 a night in Palazzo Luxury King room which is 720 sq.ft.
