The Venetian and The Palazzo are neighboring and connected casinos in Las Vegas. Both owned by Las Vegas Sands and have the same casino players club called Grazie. You’ll earn points for Grazie when you play video poker and slot machines as well as spending throughout the resorts and the mall that connects the two hotels. In order to earn points from cash spending you’ll have to charge restaurant meals, show tickets, spa services, nightclub drinks and retail purchases to your room.
One thing that Grazie offers their customers that you won’t find at many other Las Vegas casinos is offer greater reward points for those who spend more money. The higher your tier status with Grazie the easier it is to earn players club points. Another difference from other players club is that Grazie bases point earnings from gambling on theoretical win.
Earning Points
Many Las Vegas players clubs have reward points, which you can spend as though they were money in a casino and tier points which allow to achieve higher status and earn greater benefits. Grazie offers a third set of points called Grazie Gifts Points which can be exchanged for gifts from your favorite luxury brands at their Grazie Gifts events. Here’s how you earn points:
Gambling: reel and video slot machines
- Grazie – 10 points per dollar of theoretical win.
- Gold – 15 points per dollar of theoretical win.
- Platinum – 20 points per dollar of theoretical win.
Gambling: video poker, keno, table based games
- Grazie – 10 points per dollar of theoretical win.
- Gold – 12 points per dollar of theoretical win.
- Platinum – 15 points per dollar of theoretical win.
Suite Charges: dining, shopping, etc.
- Grazie – $1 spent = 5 points.
- Gold – $1 spent = 20 points.
- Platinum – $1 spent = 20 points.
Each status point is also good for 1 Grazie Gifts Point.

He learned about gambling at a young age working down the street from a bookie who took action on anything from the mainstream sports to the last three digits of the purse for certain horse races. Yeah, that's a thing. Today Marc is a freelance writer and social media consultant which allows him to work anywhere there's a wifi signal. This allows him to work from the sportsbook at Red Rock Resort or the food court at The Venetian where you’ll find fast and free wifi. Writing about steak, booze, gambling and Las Vegas is a tough job but somebody has to do it.
