Palazzo room - without the sunken living room space??

i'm sure everyone is quite familiar with the Venetian/Palazzo base level "suites"
spacious
comfortable
not a true suite since it doesn't have a separate bedroom
has a small step down, "sunken" level with the couch, TV, and table ...



Palazzo king suite
Room 48-810

wait wut?
what's wrong with this picture?

where is the sunken living room space? I have never been in a Palazzo suite that did not have the sunken living room area before (other than the grand suites and the executive suites which are just single level).

I was walking into the room and it totally threw me off because there was just a flat one level floor



Is it every room on this particular floor? Are there other rooms like this throughout the hotel?
curious now

 

I've gotten this room once. Also around the 40-ish floor. I didn't really care because I gave the room to my friends.

 

I would expect the ADA rooms to be like this, if nothing else.

 

good point
but there wasn't anything different in the bathroom to make it more ADA friendly though

 

Wow, it’s weird how the absence of a small recess in the floor makes that room seem rather ordinary compared to the regular rooms. Almost an optical illusion…

 

I actually prefer this room than the sunken ones. I often asked for this and sometimes got it.

 

Is it by floor?
Or certain room numbers?
This was 48-810

 

I believe they only on the high floors.

 

It makes the room seem smaller to me as well.

 

Is it possible that these rooms are located above “high ceiling” mega suites, so that the ceiling of those suites won’t have any irregularity from the ordinary “dip” into the living room?

 

I wonder how much additional cost the sunken living room adds to the overall construction cost of a property the size of the Venetian and Palazzo. Surely the step adds much in the way of complexity and limit the layout of other suites?

 

So in the typical Venetian/Palazzo room the ceiling "steps down" and follows the step down sunken living room area
Keeping the floor to ceiling height the same

The latest room I entered has flat floor and flat ceiling

I had never ever paid attention to that little detail of the ceiling stepping down
This is becoming much more interesting

Where are the architectural nerds?

 

The Venetian also has a few floors like this. I once was in one that had a small outdoor “patio” (I want to say it was on floor 4 or 5 maybe?); no sunken level and you could walk outside to a small (10ft x 10ft) outdoor space with a table and some chairs.

 

I'd sacrifice that sunken living room for the higher floor and better view.

 

agree.
I actually prefer the flat room. To me, it also feels bigger.

 

I had this type room at the Venetian if I remember correctly. When checking in was told we'd have to wait for our room unless we would take a handicap room. Fine with us since we were early. I liked the room but it probably should have had a larger shower with maybe a bench or wheelchair accessible and no tub to be ADA compliant.

 

I'd take that one over the normal rooms.

Much safer for the scooter, when I've had a few Gins in Bar Luca

 

We stayed one night there and was expecting/hoping for the step down room.
Seems like more of a suite????
We had to no step and although a bit disappointed, the overall room gave the appearance of being larger which was nice.
Definitely mixed feelings but happy with both.

 

I’m in one now & don’t care for it. I was not asked at check in so it was a surprise. Room actually feels smaller due to the large hallway & bathroom. Tub/shower very hard to get in as there is a large flat surface on the tub that I have to step over (for sliding in I assume). Host offered to move me but I was settled. Pluses: right across from ice & very quiet(there are some screamer girls down the hall)
