| - I went to Vegas last weekend for my buddy's Bachelor party, and the 13 people in our group crashed in 3 rooms at the Palms Place. I'm used to staying on the strip in cheap places like Casino Royale, Harrahs, Imperial Palace etc, but I have also stayed in MGM, Caesar's suites, Excalibur, and other places before. Palms Place is off strip just a little further West of the main Palms casino (they are connected by a Skytube hallway with people-movers). It is strictly a hotel with a couple restaurants and a small bar, but that's it. No gambling. Just rooms.
But the rooms are NICE. They are very modern and trendy with lots of amenities. For example, there is a full kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave, oven) with steel appliances. There are shelves for cutlery and glasses. It reminded me of Marriott timeshares I have stayed that are essentially suites. There are marble counter tops, a really nice king bed, a couch with a pull-out bed, two (right next to each other) HDTVs, nice dark wood furniture, trendy Ikea-style lamps, lots of closets, and a really nice bathroom.
The shower has a glass door and there is an opaque partial separator between the sink/shower area and the toilet (that was kind of weird). But the shower had two faucets. One on the ceiling making it rain (:p), and the other a mounted hand-held shower-head. There was an attached whirlpool jacuzzi bath that was marble lined and very nice looking. There was even a 15" LCD right next to the magnifying mirror by the sink.
I am not sure how much rooms cost here, but they were certainly very nice and comfortable. Classy and techy. It's not cheap like my usuals, but I'd consider staying here again for a romantic getaway with my wife or something to that effect. However, I wouldn't try to house more than 3 people in the room because there really isn't that much comfort available beyond that number.
The maid service was very kind and polite. We got all we needed. The room service food was very good (got the pizza, hot wings, each of the sandwiches, and steak nachos) though a bit high priced. Be warned, they often close the restaurants early on non-peak days without notice. Learned that the hard way.
Summary: Modern, trendy, stylish, comfortable (for up to 3 people). Great service. Probably a little high priced (I think the rooms were around $200 a night, but I can't confirm yet). Would come back again for a romantic getaway or something to that effect.
