Most of the time the wife and I stay in Vegas, it's just passing through on our way to Palm Springs, or similar. I'm looking for a place I can get in and out of reasonable quickly and a good price. The last couple times, Palms has been that place. They had $39 a night pretty nice rooms. Even with the stupid "resort fee" it's a good deal.
The rooms are large, modern, and on our trips, clean. The location is good for getting to Spring Mountain road and the strip. There are shuttles if we just want to visit the tourist areas of the strip, although we've never done it yet.
We've not dined here except for the cafe, but there are options.
For us, it meets the needs of a through traveler.
