My wife and I booked one of the superior rooms in the Fantasy tower,($139 per night) on Jan 1st -4th. We arrived at the hotel 4 hours before check in, and were surprised to find out our room was ready. The room was very nice, clean, very comfortable bed, plenty of room. The view was just OK. ( only able to see small part of the strip). We had some friends with us who had booked rooms in the other tower and politely asked at check in if they could move to the Fantasy tower and were allowed to at no charge( Original room was $89).
Casino
The Casino is nice but small. Good selection of games but later in the evening it can be hard to find open seats. lots of $5 tables during the day and $10 and night. Dealers are mostly friendly. My main complaint with the casino would be the lack of cocktail service. Two different times I spent over and hour at a gaming table without ever seeing a cocktail waitress. I should also report that this was the first time in a very long time that I actually won more money than I lost over the length of a trip.
Food
Lots of choices, Had dinner at Nine Steakhouse, It was above average but with all the other choices in town there is no reason to eat there again. Room service for breakfast was good.
Getting around
Cabs are a must, costs about $7 to get the the strip (Caesars) and just a few bucks more for most other hotels, I don't really mind paying this considering moving around the strip via the monorail is $6 per person for a single ride.
Overall its a nice place with a good vibe if your looking to stay in a nice room at a moderate priced place you should be happy. There is nothing big to complain about but not much to brag about either. Its a great step up form places like Tropicana, Imperial Palace,Riveara or Circus Circus, But not in the same league as MGM, Mirage ,and Mandaly Bay.
If for some reason you are the type of person who doesn't like to see beautiful women, stay far away from the Palms..............
