The newest room deal from The Venetian in Las Vegas continues the $119 weekday/$159 weekend room offer that has been so popular since first being announced back in October.  Along with the fantastic rates, the package (available on select dates) includes not only the luxury room suite but also the following enticements:

- $25 in Slot Credits or Table Match Play
- 2-for-1 drink voucher at the V Bar
- 2-for-1 Gondola Ride
- 2-for-1 admission to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum

Book offer code EVODECR by December 15 to nail those rates. 

Unlike the last offer, The Palazzo is NOT included in those rates at this time.  Rates at The Palazzo are $159 weekdays/$199 weekends and again, for select dates.  Visit their website for details. 

While you’re at The Palazzo site, don’t miss the opportunity to register for “The Lamborghini Italian Getaway Sweepstakes.”  Fill out the entry form for your chance to win a Grand Prize that includes a trip to Italy and a demonstration racing drive at the Lamborghini factory among other goodies.  The drawing will be held in April 2009.  (Some exclusions apply so be sure to read all the fine print at The Palazzo’s website.)
