The $1.9billion Palazzo Casino-Resort will celebrate its grand opening from Thursday to Saturday with a concert featuring Diana Ross.

It is the first new property on the Vegas Strip since April 2005, which is the Wynn Las Vegas.

The Palazzo is not fully functional yet. 50% of the shipping mall is open and 2,300 of the 3,068 rooms are expected to be available.

The Palazo Features Jay Z’s 40/40 sports bar and lounge and the world’s largest Canyon Ranch SpaClub.

This opening is not without controversy, Jay Z’s permit was written over a weekend. So what you say, well this is unheard of since the permit office is closed on weekends. There are accusations of preferential treatment and it has some up in arms. We will have to see how this plays out.
