They opened their night club this weekend. If you'd like to hang out at the pool Friday Saturday or Sunday there is now a fee to enter, with Cabanas going up to $20,000 depending on the location. I stayed on the 27th floor of the newly renovated Fantasy Tower, which is the tower farthest away from the new nightclub KAOS.... the noise was unbelievable until 4 a.m. each morning Friday night Saturday night and Sunday night. When I called the front desk they were very apologetic, I think they must have got an awful lot of complaints. They offered to send some earplugs up to the room. Really? That's your solution to your $600million renovation. I liked this hotel, have stayed here, three times the first six months of the year. Unfortunately, this will obviously be my last, unless I come on weekdays only.

So after the $600 million plus renovations, i decided to give it another review.
First, the self parking area is approximately 70% reserved for VIPs. Makes self parking a horrible experience. None of the renovation money went into the parking elevators. Next, the remodel is enticing visually, however when you try to walk the floor, you can't walk through the aisles. They have stuffed so many slot machines on the floor you would think they are trying to re-coop the renovations in one week. Then you will notice the most machines appeared to be dollar machines, followed by penny and few quarter. I don't even recall a craps table. The food court and restaurants are very nice. The center bar is a Cosmopolitan knock off. The sports book is about 40%reserved for VIPs. Screens are newer but its no Westgate.
Lastly, I didn't see the rooms nor stay, but I sincerely hope a lot of that money went into them.

We stayed with a conference that was being hosted at the Palms Casino and the check in was quick as were the people that brought our luggage to the room. We had a problem with our AC not turning on and the water in the new bathroom dripped all night long.

My wife tried to go to the pool and they gave her flack about not fitting in with the crowd.

Convention space was pretty good and there were great views of Vegas. Our room was Smokey and we requested non smoking. The resort fees were astronomical, and don't expect good Wi-Fi unless pay handsomely.

There are plenty of good restaurants that serve a great meal.
