The Venetian Resort operates three towers: The Venetian, The Palazzo and Venezia Tower. The company opens and closes floors and sometimes entire towers based on occupancy patterns.

Sands will open only The Venetian Tower Monday-Thursday. But on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, the company will welcome guests to bothThe Venetian and The Palazzo guest suite towers.

While guests will not be able to stay at Palazzo on weekdays, most of the tower'samenities remain open as normal including the restaurants, casino and parking garage.

Palazzo will continue taking weekend room reservations.

Both Venetian and Palazzo reopened five weeks ago after a COVID-19 shutdown that lasted almost three months.
