I was planning a much needed vacation in March, and was looking on Trip Advisor for inspiration. I had not been to Vegas in 10+ years, and wanted to see a Cirque Du Soleil show, so, Vegas it was.


I was looking for good prices on Incrediblememoriestravelco.com, and found a good listing for The Palms. Booking what I thought was a room at the main hotel (I did not know that Palms Place had even existed), I was happy with the description and pictures.

Upon our arrival to the Palms, we wne to check in, and were told that we were actually staying in a brand new Palms tower located next door. The man at the front desk was very nice and offered to have a hotel limo take us to the tower, but we declined because we wanted to walk.

Upon getting to the tower, we were a bit confused because there wasn't any foot traffic. Upon getting to the front desk, the receptionist informed us that we were getting upgraded from a studio to a one bedroom suite. The woman explained to us that the hotel was BRAND new, they had yet to even have a grand opening.

After leaving the front desk, we were escorted to the elevator. We (my boyfriend and myself) loved to feel of the hotel: very sleek, modern, and sexy.

Our room was at the end of a long hallway. When we entered and turned on the lights, we were floored: It was amazing! Immediately to our left was a small powder room, and directly in front of us (down a long stretch of hallway) was an amazing view of Las Vegas. We walked straight ahead, and saw a full kitchen to the left. It had a full fridge and freezer, dishwasher, flat top stove, full service for four, a dining room table, everything!

To the right of that, was an amazing living room with flat screen TV and double sided fireplace, as well as a small balcony. Going through the living room and to the right was the bedroom, which included an amazing bed, flat screen tv, large balcony, and a bathtub! Next to the bedroom (other side of the wall from the bed) was the bathroom which included double sinks, 3 head shower (amazing!), seperate, secluded toilet and a flat screen tv.

The bubble light hanging in front of the sink was cracked, so we called to the front desk to let them know. The cracked light was not an issue, and did not affect our stay.

We then decided to explore the suite more, and discovered a nice vanity cove (most likely used for make-up application), huge closets with iron and ironing board, coffee maker, and washer and dryer!

Upon our return from the Cirque show, we wanted to use the bathtub located in the bedroom. We turned it on, and learned that the hot water was not working. By this time it was at least 2 am, but we really wanted to use it (how could you blame us), so we called the front desk. They told us that they would send someone to help us.

In about 10 minutes, a handy man came to our room. He was VERY nice, and quickly "solved" our problem. Apparently, our impatience got the best of us, because the hot water was actually working. The hotel was so brand new that the hot water just took a while to travel to our 12th story room. He told us that their were probably only 40 people total staying in the hotel.


Upon leaving, the staff was very helpfull with whatever we needed: suggestions where to eat, where to go for fun, directions, etc.


Overall, I would say the stay was fantastic, and I would recommend this hotel to anyone ans everyone! It will be money well spent!

Okay. So, we're (me and a couple of friends) are planning a vegas trip due to the NBA Summer League. Our ages range from early 20's to early 30's.. naturally, we wanted to stay at somewhere trendy and "happenin'"

After minutes of looking (what do you expect? We're guys!) we come across the Palms Place. Having never hearing of such a place before.. but knowing it was part of the Palms, we took a chance and booked a couple studios.

The room was SWEET! Ultra trendy. Everything was done in dark, contemporary colors. There's TWO (count 'em!) TWO HUGE 42 inch HDTV's. A fridge, a dishwasher, microwave, coffeemaker (with coffee!) utensils, plates, a stovetop! Everything you could possibly need in a room. The bed was comfortable!

The bathroom was awesome. Nice waterfall showerhead. Nice lcd television next to the sink. Telephone next to the toilet (though, i've never understood the reasoning for that. I would imagine it'd be one hell of a deuce you'd be droppin' for a phone to come in handy!)

Of course the restaurants, clubs, and pool were top notch.

The hotel itself wasn't too busy. Like, ever. We literally walked up the check-in and within 5 minutes we were in our room. It was definitely something I wasn't used to!

The elevators were a nice touch. In order to select the floor of which your room is on, you have to put in your hotel key first and then select - otherwise it wont stop on the floor. Niiicee!

Nice touch with the 'do not disturb' function. There's a button you press inside your room which allows you to press whether you want housekeeping .. or whether you do not want to be disturbed. There's a light on the outside of your room which reflects which choice you made. Great feature. Very handy.

Newspapers were put on your door handle every morning.. say what?!

Booking this room was a good thing and bad thing.

The good being - the room was fantastic. Everything about it was trendy and just awesome.

The bad - well, now any hotel room I stay in that's *not* the Palms Place, is going to pale in comparison. I've stayed at hotels including Treasure Island, Flamingo, MGM Grand, Paris, and the Mirage .. and I can honestly say that not ONE of them has ANYTHING on the PALMS PLACE.

Palms Place created a great medium. Just enough Vegas without being "too much Vegas".

A friend purchased a condo. I went out for the opening party. I expected super tacky and was very surprised the project turned out so well. A ton of time, consideration, and planning went into this development. Good job Palms.

Anything you might want is always within reach. At the same time you can back off and have everything arms distance away. Really like the versatility w/the layout.

Yes, the condo was nice, (modern/ clean lines). The balcony = grrreat view. Main highlight was the glass top dance floor on the pool. Overall I thought it was both classy and fun.

When I found a great rate in June on the Palms Place website for a one bedroom suite, I was wowed by the online pics of the room, the big 1200 sq. foot room size, and really excited to book such a cool looking room for $179 a night for a quick getaway.

When we drove up Sunday afternoon to check in, no 1 bedroom units were yet ready. No problem, we went off to check out the Simon Restaurant and have lunch at the very cool restaurant. The service and food at the restaurant were good, and it was fun to overlook the pool area, which is very attractive, but small. The cabanas, use of which were included for one day in our room rate (otherwise about $250 a day) were not super impressive to me, pretty basic looking, though they did have a tv inside. After our lunch, we went back to the front desk, and our room was still not ready, and it wasn't ready until after 6pm, more than 3 hours after we arrived, which was kind of a disappointment for us, as we were just there for 2 nights. However, the front desk did comp us free drinks at the bar, and were very apologetic.

When we got to our room, it was a mountain view on the 52nd floor, and it all looked very cool and sleek, but nothing seemed to work! The faucet handle in the bathroom pulled off from the wall as soon as I turned it on, and the same thing happened to the kitchen faucet. Except for the phone by the toilet, none of the room phones worked. And the lights in the bedroom didn't work either, nor did the tv...we ended up having an electrical engineer come to our room to fix the lights and outlets and tv. And the bathtub jets turned on very loudly by themselves at about 1am, just as I was falling asleep, scaring me out of my wits!

The next morning the sleek room just seemed to be too much trouble, so we requested to be moved. The front desk kindly moved us to a strip view room, which turned out to be absolutely perfect. The fireplace and mood lights were lit beautifully, all the drapes were open just perfectly, and we had a nice strip view. Everything in this room worked beautifully. We felt like our vacation had finally begun.

So, all in all, this is a beautiful flashy hotel, though I think it's better for people who like very trendy decor, and the 20/30 year old demographic. The staff is very young and are not all as polished as they could be, but most of them make up for it with a good and friendly attitude. The spa is very nice, and my husband had a great facial and massage treatment. Not sure I'd return, right now the Signature at the MGM Grand is still my favorite, but I'm sure a lot of people will really enjoy this place.
