The Palms Las Vegas Review

Standard rooms at the Palms are large, opulent, and modern, with some unusual amenities for Las Vegas, such as beds with ultra-firm mattresses, duvets, and ample minibars. The property's various classes of suites are far more elaborate (our favorite suites, the Sky Villas, feature private hot tubs cantilevered over the edge of the building). The Fantasy Tower has two "Party Floors," which include additional suites, and a recording studio for bands or pop stars who want to mix business with pleasure. In fact, most of the best experiences in the Palms are at high altitude: Alizé, Moon, Ghostbar, and the Playboy Club. Closer to ground level, the incredibly sleek pool is surrounded by cabanas with TVs and hammocks, patches of grass and sand, three bars, and an outdoor concert venue. For a tamer Palms experience, ask for a room at Palms Place, which has a private pool and separate restaurant.

Rooms are above average, very speedy elevators, nice view from rooms, and access to strip, although not walkable, is easier to get around by cab since you won't be stuck in Las Vegas Blvd traffic upon leaving. Vibe is an odd mix of fake Playboy mansion to grab the 20 something dudes (24 hour tattoo parlor is a bit silly), and older locals there for discount casino, which is relatively small for Vegas... although strong selection of movies in theaters down stairs. Not a good gambling location, good for most else. Expect fair amount of "I love Vegas" being yelled in hallways as the 20 somethings come home 2-4 am, and don't be surprised to see an unusual amount of suspiciously overly buxom "patrons" playing slots nearest to the entryway after midnight. Otherwise for the money I found rooms to be exceptional and would stay there again.
