The Palms was fantastic. We bought a groupon on a Sunday night for a hotel there and got an amazing room. We got a Sky Villa on the 32nd floor and the room was beautiful. The skyline view at night looked incredible. This was the first night any of us stayed in Vegas and the next morning here, we laid by both of the pools and got Hooters as well. The drinks are a little pricy but what else can you expect in Vegas. The wings at Hooters were delicious and it was right near the pool so you didn't even have to leave to get lunch. I would recommend this place if you are looking for a cheaper option close to the strip but still close enough.
