Ive stayed at about 5 different hotels in Vegas over the past 14 years. Starting with the Mirage, the Aladdin, the Venetian, Mandalay bay and now the palms. I was out for the superbowl with my friends for a guys weekend and we were comp'd a regular room at the Palms, worst room Ive stayed in in Vegas. No different than quality inn. So first off I would never recommend that tower, although my friend did say the "fantasy tower" was much nicer. We planned another trip with our girlfriends for this labor day, and this time stayed at Palms Place. Let me preface this by saying my friends room was fine and he had no problems. That being said, mine was awful. The dirtiest room Ive ever been in and also let me say, ive stayed in some shady places. I actually had to call down and get someone to come up and look at the room. The room was covered in dust and the carpet had gum pressed into it, the couches were stained, the furniture was banged up there were stains on the pillows. It was nasty, they felt awful about it and quickly sent another cleaning women in. My problem isnt with the service, its that if your paying $330 a night, midweek, for a room in vegas (it was a 1 bedroom suite) it should be flawless. And sadly it wasnt. As I said they were more than accomodating when it was brought to their attention but it was gross. As for the rest of the stay, the pool is WAY to small and not nearly enough chairs there, and one side of the pool gets blacked out from the sun mid afternoon. Poorly designed. So go over to the main pool at the palms, much much better. Another problem is the casino is a long way away from the palms place tower, which if your a gambler stinks! You have to go down 2 different elevators across 2 moving sidewalks and down a hallway to get to the farthest point of the casino! It really was a pain, and to be honest another disappointment at Plams place. Also if you come home late and want to eat you have to make that journey to the 24hr cafe, or order room service. Also if you do decide to stay here, take notice of the materials in the rooms, they were cheap, except for the appliances, it's vinyl paneling and particle board. To me it seems as though they tried to make something that looks nice but made it out of crap. It was weird, its a room thats set up for the night though, it looks cool with the intresting lights they have at night. Open the drapes in the day and its not so sexy, kinda like a nightclub. Lastly I found out after I was there that each one of these units are owned by private owners and leased back to the palms. So the condition of each room is different. So to finish, this place is good for 20somethings who want to party, i would not have been nearly as dissapointed if I was on another guys weekend, but being there with my girlfriend it was a dissapointment. The palm s as a whole is set up for the hip and trendy crowd, awesome nightclubs, celebrities on the weekends, and some fantastic restaurants. But is not for someone looking for a low key pampered vacation. Also the palms casino is dead during the week. I felt like I was on a bus trip in Atlantic city! One more drawback is the actual location of the Palms off the strip...I didnt have a strip view room so I was looking at the mountains and you never really get that Vegas vibe when you cant walk out onto the strip. Next stop the Wynn or Palazoo, they look fabulous. Guys weekend...stay at MGM lots more action, take a cab to the Palms.
