The Venetian And The Palazzo Las Vegas Announce Carnevale This Summer

The Venetian and The Palazzo Las Vegas will come alive with the fantasy, food, fun and romance of Italy during CARNEVALE, a three-month celebration of the summer festivals of Italy, May 27 through Sept. 8, 2013. Based on the highly successful premier in 2012, the festival will be expanded to feature 300 experiences throughout the summer, including many exclusively for The Venetian and The Palazzo guests and Grazie members.

CARNEVALE is inspired by the numerous festivals that grace the small villages and towns of Italy throughout summer. The grandest of them all - Venice's CARNEVALE - was born in 1162, and is heralded as one of Europe's greatest celebrations of art, food and culture. In that tradition, wonder and revelry will surround guests at The Venetian and The Palazzo resorts, with activities that center around entertainment, art, fashion, games, sports, music and wine. From visual spectacles to themed characters and unexpected surprises around every corner, guests will be wrapped up in the pageantry that is CARNEVALE.

"The magic of CARNEVALE is never knowing what unexpected surprise is around the corner," said John Caparella, president and chief operating officer of The Venetian, The Palazzo and Sands Expo. "CARNEVALE offers the perfect place unmask your inner artist, adventurer, foodie and romantic."

Special Value for Overnight Guests

The "Passaporto di CARNEVALE " will be included with overnight stays throughout CARNEVALE featuring special discounts and entertainment specials valued at more than $1,000, including retail offers from resort restaurants, spa, and The Grand Canal Shoppes. The Passaporto is an exclusive benefit to resort guests. During CARNEVALE, members of Grazie, The Venetian and The Palazzo's premier loyalty program, can continue to earn valued Status Points with all suite charges by linking a Grazie account to suite reservations.
