The Palms Place is associated with The Palms, it's their boutique hotel next door. What a deal!! I booked this hotel for $99 thru TripRes.com for the first night which was a really great deal. What was even better was the Palms Place deal online which gets you a pool cabana for an additional $49 plus a dining credit. This hotel is new and you need to grab this deal before everyone else finds out what a sweet hotel it is. Sure, it's not on the strip, but it's not so damn crowded and mainstream or cheesy either. The parking is a breeze and there is never a wait if you call down for your car. It's a boutique hotel which means a few less amenities but the service is more personal, less waits and no crowds. I read other reviews about the pool but it's bogus. The pool is perfect for swimming and lounging. The chairs are new, there are sofas and a fireplace area (even in July). The pool service is attentive. No, it's not Tao Beach but you can also don't have to see old fat guys ogling trashy girls and pay $450 for a day on a daybed. The water is deep and cold, not 3 feet deep with a tanning oil slick on top as with the European style clubs. There aren't many kids either.
The rooms are large, quiet and ultra modern. The kitchen appliances are top notch. The cutlery and stemware are cutting edge as well. Pick up some food and booze before you arrive.
The bathtub is huge with jets. Big enough for 2 people to lay down in. The shower design is unique with two nice shower heads. The lighting is modern and effective. The Ipod system is a nice thing to have. The bed is on a platform which is great for sitting on. The linens are high tread count and super soft. The comfortable sofa has tons of pillows for lounging. One big plus is that you have an outside balcony which is nice to get away from hotel a/c or to dry your suit quickly. Great views too.
Eat at Simon, the guy knows food and executes it well. Little Buddha has great sushi. The Playboy Club is overrated, but worth checking out., make sure to see the bathroom stall doors. The gaming tables at the Casino have low minimums and attentive cocktail servers.
I've worked for 5 diamond properties and this one is exceptional. These rates won't last long once everyone figures out the level of luxury just off the strip. I stayed at The Venetian at the tale end of this trip and wished I would've spent my entire trip at The Palms Place Hotel. Don't confuse this with staying at "The Palms", this it the brand new upper end partner hotel.

STAY HERE ONLY IF YOU ARE A CELEBRITY

If you are an average Joe, you will get treated like crap. Right from the beginning, they actually told us that they did not have our reservation and said it would take 3 hours for travelocity to fax them confirmation. I do not believe this story. We he had a very good price, and that is why we were told this. We were told, "That's the problem with booking through third parties". We had to call travelocity, and they still wanted us to wait 3 hours for a "fax" to come from travelocity. We threw a fit, and were finally put into a room, with a lot of attitude. They were completely disinterested in us and unwilling to offer any solutions. The front desk and concierge people were downright rude. The bartender at the pool threw away the fruit we paid a lot of money for. Also, they search your bags before you go to the pool to make sure that you do not bring any water of food from outside of the pool area "contraband", so you have to buy stuff at the pool. The towels have fuzz all over them. The rooms are not clean in places that are not immediately seen by the eye. This was my first time in Vegas, and I was completely disappointed with The Palms.

Everything costs extra...

We thought we were getting a deal on the room but they charge you for everything at this hotel. It costs $20 just to work out in their fitness center, which was completely empty by the way. They charge for the in-room internet and for the business center internet - neither of which was specified on their website which is what made me so upset. False advertising! Also, you cannot bring any food or drinks even ones from the hotel itself out to the pool area. Everything has to be bought there. The new spa at Palms Place was really nice and Moon and Playboy Club were good too but you don't need to stay there. There are much better deals. Good beds but no vanity which really stunk for us girls trying to get ready. Also, one day the maid service didn't clean our room till after 5 p.m. and we had to call. Not cool.

OFF THE STRIP-- MORE $$ FOR TAXI

Dont Stay Here! Beware this hotel has the worst slot machines in Las Vegas. Very small hotel compare to the others on the Strip. If you stay here be ready to pay 10.00$ cab fair every time you leave and come back. The clubs are the not best. The Bank and Pure at the Bellagio is much better. Super expensive room service. The bed covers are very dirty. When room service cleaned the room all that was left was a cloud of dust from the beding. The sink and tub were always clog. Rude front desk. At check out beware they will charge you for opening the min-bar. Do yourself a favor and stay at the Bellagio or the Ceaser, or anywhere on the strip. This hotel is nothing unless you are a celbrity staying in the suites seen on TV.

Rooms were nice but very noisy people next door. Kept us up at night. Nothing to do inside of hotel except gamble. NO good shopping there. Had to find someone to ask for a drink.Have to take taxi to other places. Liked staying on the strip better.
