#1

Q: I stayed at the MGM Grand in Jan 2009 and heard it's no
longer the largest resort in the world? Is that true?

LVA said, "....technically, no, the Venetian/Palazzo aren't
considered the same hotel. We've seen designations of it
as the largest hotel complex, but since they have separate
names, were built at separate times, and the rooms are
in separate buildings, they're considered separate hotels."

What difference does it make if some rooms were built at different times
than other rooms?

And, what is the definition of "separate buildings?"

Caesars Palace Las Vegas also has rooms that were
built at separate times and are located in separate
buildings. But, they are not considered separate hotels
just because they share the same hotel name?

I guess it all depends on *who* is doing the considering.
Personally, I consider Venetian/Palazzo the world's largest
hotel, regardless of the names of the towers.

All three towers (Venetian, Venezia, and Palazzo) are
connected to each other, are under the same ownership,
and use the same telephone operator. It's one hotel.

I wonder if LVA would consider Venetian the world's
largest hotel if the Venezia and Palazzo towers were
renamed "Venetian?"

VegasTodayAndTomorrow.com considers Venetian/Palazzo as a single
property. Don't they also operate under the same gaming and hotel
licenses?

Thanks, Nathan. I'm glad I'm not alone in my thinking! :slight_smile:

I don't know about the licenses. But, it sounds logical that
they would be operating as one entity.

Maybe they're considered seperate entities because each has its own casino? Caesars towers all feed into one casino.
