The Palazzo Las Vegas(R) Named One of the 2011 Top 25 Hotels in the US and Canada by Travel + Leisure Readers

This Marks the Second Consecutive Year the Resort Has Been Recognized in the Prestigious "World's Best Awards" Survey

The Palazzo Las Vegas has been named one of the Top 25 Hotels in the Continental U.S. and Canada in Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards 2011 readers' poll featured in the magazine's August 2011 issue and on TravelandLeisure.com/worldsbest.

The Palazzo ranked in at number 21 among Large City Hotels (100 rooms or more) in the Continental U.S. and Canada making this the second straight year the resort has made the top 25. The awards are determined following a survey completed by magazine's readers. The World's Best Awards hotel rankings are based on readers' ratings in five categories: rooms/facilities, location, service, restaurants/food and value.

"We were extremely honored when The Palazzo made Travel + Leisure's 'World's Best Awards' list of Top Large City Hotels in the U.S. and Canada in 2010 and are absolutely thrilled to make this distinguished list a second year in a row," said John Caparella, president and chief operating officer of The Palazzo, The Venetian and Sands Expo Center. "What makes this really special is the fact that this recognition is generated from the magazine's readers and our guests. This stands as a true testament to our passion to serve and what is accomplished each day by our dedicated team members."

To be acknowledged on Travel + Leisure's prestigious World's Best Hotels in the Continental U.S. and Canada requires a property to go above and beyond guest expectations.
