The Palazzo: Nothing beats showering in a glass box

I hate Las Vegas, but every couple of years, I have to go for work (recall 2011 entries about the Cosmopolitan and Bellagio). This year was one of those years, and we stayed at the Palazzo, where my palatial suite was practically the same size as my one-bedroom apartment.

One thing I enjoy about fancy hotel rooms is the crazy luxurious bathrooms, which generally have multiple sinks, separate showers and tubs, and little rooms for the toilet. When you’re staying in the room alone, it’s a fun game of “Which sink should I use today?” I used one sink for washing my face and brushing my teeth, and the other for putting on lotion – and I had a vanity on the other side of the bathroom where I dried my hair and put on makeup. Seriously, the Palazzo bathroom was so big you could have a dance party in it and skip going out to the Vegas clubs.

The bathroom was very posh, with black marble counters, wall-to-wall mirrors, a red velvet cushion on the vanity stool, and gray wallpaper in the toilet room printed with black and white flowers. The bathroom also had a TV and a telephone; when in Vegas, why not revel in unnecessary excess even when you’re flossing your teeth? My favorite part about luxury hotel bathrooms is always the all-glass showers with beautiful tile floors – it’s so refreshing and exhilarating to shower with light pouring all over you, even if you’ve gotten only five hours of sleep. Which is pretty par for the course when you’re in Las Vegas for a work function…

Please also enjoy the tiger photos. One of my responsibilities in Vegas was to oversee a “Hangover”-themed photo shoot, and I used my own stuffed tiger for inspiration one evening when I was deliriously tired.
