Palms Hotel and Palms Place Condo Hotel
(adjacent to the Palms Hotel and Casino)
4381 West Flamingo Road
Las Vegas, NV 89104 US
September 2008
Recently built and about a 7 minute walk from the Palms via a “skytube”, the Palms Place is an excellent way to experience the Palms and all its nightlife – as another option to staying in the Palms own hotel.
The room we had at in the Palms Place condo hotel portion (rooms here are rented through Palms reservations and acts just like a hotel even though you may be renting someone’s condo unit) was modern, clean, large, and very comfortable. Probably the best part of the room was the shower/bath combo. The shower had a big rain showerhead on top plus a wall mounted additional showerhead that was also removable. The bath was a nice big rectangular whirlpool. For a couple, this would be a nice romantic bath area.
Definitely for the younger crowd (20’s/30’s) the Palm’s offers a sizeable pool (with a special party every Friday called “Ditch Friday’s” complete with DJ and the crowd that goes with that) and 3 clubs: Rain, Ghostbar, and Moon – inside the Playboy Club.
We did not visit Rain or Moon – there were lines about an hour long for each so we can only assume these are your typical Las Vegas clubs – various types of music, young crowds crammed in close together in a chic vibe with pricey drinks.
We were advised to check out the new Playboy Club / Moon club combination club on the top floor. At $40 entry, we were expecting the Playboy Club to be really special but in reality it was a bar with a great view and a few (high minimum bet) table games staffed by Playboy bunnies. Neat, yes; spectacular, no.
Moon, connected to the Playboy Club by escalator was a pretty nice club. It had a main room with a sizeable dance floor, a small main bar by the elevators, and a side bar that was a bit more chill. All in all, a good combo, albeit with a stuff price of entry. AT the time of this review, you could enter before 10pm for $20 and come back later with your stamp rather than pay the later $40 cover charge.
We are at N9NE steakhouse and were not at all disappointed by the quality. Make sure you have some heart pills before the bill comes, though, as prices blow away that of even prime New York City eateries.
The casino itself at the Palms Casino is a bit small. You won’t necessarily find all your favorite table games or slots, so that may be a consideration if you want a huge gaming area. The crowd does skew a bit towards the younger side.
As far as location goes, keep in mind that this is way off-strip so you will be taking cabs everywhere you go.
