Stayed here for a slot tourney. We typically stay at Red Rock or Harrah's, but I was a little excited to try out Palms for the first time.

Construction makes it hard to navigate around the casino floor and is blocking up part of the route in and out of valet. It is dangerous if you are trying to walk out to Flamingo and valet does not help you out there.

Check in was smooth, and we received a brand new room in the Fantasy Tower, which is right off the casino floor. Gorgeous new rooms, great bathroom, decent views, almost too-hip decor (what is with all those pillows?).

While the room was really nice, the bed was was too soft for our liking. The shower was great, though. The one thing that bugged me about the bathroom is the awkward door. Why they didn't put in a cool sliding or pocket door, I don't know. You have to open the bathroom door, then close it, then open the potty room door. If someone comes in, you are going to have to bang those two doors together. And forget about easy access in the dark if you like to tiptoe into the bathroom not to disturb your loved one.

We ate at the new BBQ restaurant, which was very good and decently priced, although the music was a bit too loud. I like our server, he may have even been management. We also ate breakfast at the Lucky Penny Cafe, which was good, but service was very slow, even when there were only a few parties in there. The Shark bar in the center of the casino looked interesting.

The main issue I had with this casino is the floor layout and machines. They had part of the casino floor closed and the rest of the machines seemed to be laid out haphazardly, with no clear path. The variety was not any where near the standard of Station casinos, and they had zero video poker that had decent paytables. The majority of the table games were Pai Gow or Baccarat, and we couldn't find a seat at the one game we typically play.

I might give them another try later in the year when they have finished their construction, but the outlook isn't great for gaming here.

This is definitely an absolutely beautiful night club. It’s also truly massive. I think they said they had 7500 people expected for the Cardi B event. It was full of beautiful and rich people and the music was great for the most part. I didn’t like that techno music at all. Why I will not give them a 5 is because of how they treated the customers. We paid over $100 a piece for tickets that were supposed to be expedited and there was nothing speedy about this! We waited over 2 hours outside in lines that were a mad house of disorganized mess!!!! You can’t charge people a fortune and then handle them like this. I was infuriated by the time I got inside.... and then it gets worse!!! There is absolutely no where to sit expect for the tables which were going from 5 to 15,000!?!?! Say what.... hell no! Not one single barstool. And then we got there at 10:30 and didn’t get in until after midnight! And then had to stand until almost 4:00 am because that’s when Cardi finally performed. I was in literal pain after leaving here. Bottom line if they can’t organize the line better and get some seats I will not return.

The Palms resort is not what you would expect. The strip gets tired and old - too many people and the prices ?!?! The Palms is a $15 dollar cab ride away from the strip. The resort is stunning. The art is amazing. It’s got everything you would need plus plus plus ! Rooms and food combined with all the conveniences ....yes we will be staying again !
