Poker Poker Poker!: [vpFREE] Re: some points about Venetian/Palazzo after Grand Opening

Similar to Curtis, my wife and I participated in the same tournament
but stayed at the Venetian. Out primary gambling was at the Palazzo
due to it being much less noisy and better comfort. Played a couple
banks of $1.00 JOB outside the High Limit salon and got full pay at 5
coins. They were multi denom ($1, $2, $5) and we played some $2
also. Access to the Gold lounge through the High Limit was easy and
never a problem. Better lounge IMHO than Venetian. Very nice
facility overall.
