Palms Casino Resort

Once the celeb and nightclub capital of the casino corridor, today the Palms is a little less bumping and a little more laid back. But many of the ingredients that made it the hottest of hot spots are still in place, namely slick rooms with sensational views (book the Ivory tower, recently redesigned by Klai Juba), tasty restaurants (try N9ne Steakhouse or Andre Rochat’s Alize), party options (Ghostbar Dayclub turns afternoons debaucherous all winter long) and one of the best concert venues in town with a lineup that’s had a welcome refresh. It may not be on Las Vegas Boulevard, but the Palms is still a fabulous place to base your vacation.
