WHAT A LET DOWN!
January 21 2007
The Palms...where do I start. Aside from having a fun casino, there was little to write home about this hotel, starting first and foremost with their plain-out nasty, difficult to work with staff. They are extremely hard to deal with and you get different answers from every person you talk to, a headache that you shouldn't have to deal with in Vegas. Cool clubs I suppose, but no better than those on the strip, and staying here doesnt help you get into the clubs (TAO, PURE, TRST, 54). Also, staying off of the strip in Vegas is just a plain out bad idea. I guess I am just more appalled at the staff there, who were absolutely clueless, miserable, and unwilling to answer why your credit card was charged an extra 1000 dollars. And on 2, yes TWO occassions failed to return phone calls on dates prior to check in. I guess shame on me for not taking that as a sign. Also, pretty (cant deny that) but pretty small.

I recently stayed at the new Fantasy Tower at the palms. We had a standard room and they were decent. Beds were not that comfortable though. I was impressed by the well stocked mini bar with 6 different types of beer. The TV was mediocore with a first for me in Vegas, the Menu button didn't work. The worst of the trip was that they are still working on the tower! For three nights I was woken up by construction work at 6am after just getting to sleep. Staff was okay, good service from some, snobby from others. I'd advise to stay away from the new tower until it is completed other wise its passes in all other aspects.

Horrible boring hotel with the most sullen, unhelpful staff ever. What other hotel offers staff that answers a guest's Thank You's with "Uh-Huh's". The poor teenybopper service is further aggravated by the gross, stomach churning food the hotel calls food. The Casino is empty and not exciting in the least (and this is a weekend in early June mind you, not exactly off season). I seriously recommend staying in another one of the more established hotels like the Venetian or Bellagio. They cost around the same and are infinitely superior hotels. At the Palms, there is nothing to do and you are far away from the Strip. Staying at the Palms for the scene is just a bad idea...unless your idea of a scene is to gross yourself out. Just save yourself the expense..you do not get treated better at any of the nightlife spots at the Palms for being a hotel guest (you get free entry before 8 pm! Who goes out at 8 pm??). Just stay away from the Palms! The Maloof brothers sure have their work cut out for them.

The best bed in town, Pool is small but filled with lots to look at. N9Ne is the best steakhouse around.

I thought that the Hard Rock was more than enough, but this place is so full of fakes and wanna-bees, it just about makes me want to hurl. A K-9 would go nuts in this place just "sniffing around." With Indian gaming now allowed in California, the Maloof family should have saved all of those 'coasters the 5-hour trip by going into partnership with a tribe over there. That way, the rest of us wouldn't have to put up with so much of the arrogant "Jet Set" anymore!

I love this place! Only in this city can a hotel with so many rooms be concidered a botique style establishment. The check in is quick and easy and the rooms are very comfortable and well appointed. The bathroom is even stocked with Neutragena products. The layout of the casino is straight forward and the possible activities are endless from food choices to movie watching.

I was disappointed at Palms. The loby was right next to slot machine with loud music, the buffet was not even an average, and the room was nothing special. The stuff got some snobby attitude (not friendly). This is not a place to relax, but rather party hard young crowds nest.

Very nice room. Bed was the most comfortable I've slept in Vegas. Service sucked to be blunt. Arrived at the hotel at 2pm on a Friday afternoon. My room wasn't ready until 7:30PM. Unacceptable. From 2-7:30, was constantly told "It will be ready soon". Not a great start to the trip. I was tired before I even went out!

We stayed at the Palms for three nights in their Jr. suite last February. We simply loved it. The room had breath taking views of the strip on one side and the mountains plusyou could see Glitter Gulch out the other floor to ceiling window. The staff from the maids to the bellmen were very nice.The bed was made in heaven I think. On leaving we had no cabs out front so the bellman had the owners driver take us to the airport in the private limo. at no charge. I give the Palms a 4 star rating and would stay there at a drop of a hat.
