Best for design-minded adults who want a non-gaming, rooftop-bar experience and quick access to Mandalay Bay’s beach and pools.

Best for travelers who want large suites, a full casino atmosphere, easier access to many restaurants and designer shops, and an on-site conference complex.
When W Las Vegas wins: Choose W if you want an adults-oriented, non-gaming suite tower with a prominent rooftop bar, a focused set of lounges, and access to Mandalay Bay’s larger pool/beach complex without staying in a big casino resort.
When The Palazzo wins: Choose The Palazzo if you prefer the full Las Vegas resort scale—very large suites, an on-site casino, designer shopping, many restaurants, and an enormous meetings/conference footprint.
Bottom line: Both are all-suite luxury options, but W is a smaller, design-forward, non-gaming tower aimed at adults; The Palazzo is a large, Venetian-complex resort that offers casino energy, more dining and shopping choices, and more meeting space.
