I spent 3 nights in a 2 bedroom salon suite. I'm trying to write a fair review,
because the Palms caters to a young crowd, which I'm not, so maybe my feelings
are different.
Our suite was 1200 square feet, which was actually two hotel rooms with a
communication door. One room had 2 queen beds, the other was a 1-bedroom suite
with a living room and a separate room with a king bed.
The room was very large but when looked at with a critical eye, the furnishings
were really about Sheraton hotel level. Not ugly, but not really luxurious.
We've been remodelling, so maybe I look at construction with too keen an eye
now, but the walls and closets were similar to what you would find in a standard
apartment, not a high-end home. However, the beds were very good, and the
bathroom was huge and marbled, and included a nice large jetted tub and was
surrounded by frosted glass - so that was very nice.
The biggest problem with the rooms were the lingering smoke smell, and that
cigarette-smoke air was clearly coming in from the vents when the A/C or fan
were on. I don't know how their system works but I suspect that since the
ductwork is shared, some smoke is drawn in from other rooms when you are venting
and they are not. This was very annoying to us.
Also, on one night, there was very loud party music coming from upstairs. It was
clearly coming into the room through the metal beams along the windows. I spoke
to housekeeping (who had come in at my request to deodorize from the smoke) and
the housekeeper apologetically explained that two large parties were scheduled
to continue until 3am several floors above me. Fortunately the other two nights
were quiet.
The hotel charges you a $15 per night "resort" fee for each room, for which they
give you a $15 drink coupon for each night for the casino bars, but you have to
use the coupon up on that night and in one order - no change is given. We ended
up using just one of our 6 coupons.
The hotel was full of club-attired younger people which is one of their two
principal marketing demographics, the other ironically is 50+ year-old for their
slot area. The casino is not nearly as high end as the strip casinos and the
food options are somewhat limited. The attached Palms Place offers condo-type
lodging but not much else.
In short, this hotel is not for me, but it might be for you if you are younger.
They have alot of suites, and I would say that the space creates a sense of
luxury that is not actually matched by the furnishing, but is nonetheless
welcome.

Extremely disappointed. This hotel is not on the strip and they have only two
shuttles per day at 10am and 5pm, so had to take cabs to get anywhere. Didn't
feel welcomed by the decor or customer service at reception. The casino was
small and shabby - I've been to better ones in Oregon. The hotel room was no
better than a Super 8. No coffee maker, double beds instead of queens, small, no
fridge except for exorbitant mini bar. If I'm paying as much as this for a hotel
in Vegas, I'd expect much, MUCH better. The Maloof family clearly only care
about the rich who stay in the large suites but even then I'd be disgusted with
the casino and so called resort.

We just returned (2/21/2012) from a two trip to Las Vegas for a convention. We
normally shop for what we think will be the best bang for the buck when away on
business, and someone recommended The Palms.
We managed to get an $79 rate from Expedia for an "ordinary" King size bedded
room.
When we arrived, the lady upgraded us (without asking) to a corner suite, which
I can only say was spectacular. Two huge rooms, two TV's, two large bathrooms,
and on the 26th floor with views of the Strip, the mountains and back to LA!
Every member of staff that we encountered was very friendly and helpful.
Tip: ensure you get a Players Club card even if you don't gamble. Breakfast was
only $4.95 each in the buffet (excellent selection) with this card, and their
are other discounts around the property just for showing it.

This may be the most hip night life in Las Vegas. An excellent room, great
restaurants, a very professional casino floor and the most trendy night spots.
What a place!!!

My husband and I stayed 2 nights at The Palms Casino Resort on a comp offer so
the value was good. The room was average, had a view of Gold Coast & The Rio.
The room was clean and had everything we needed. The location is average as it
is not on the The Strip. The Palms has many dining options. We ate at their
buffet and it was good but not great. The Palms player card system is below
average. Need to get vouchers from Club Palms in most cases to use your points.
Very inconvenient. |
