| - I think of this property as the Hard Rock Hotel on steroids. It is much larger and newer. It is also fully amenitized in comparison to the smallish HRH. With the size comes an increase in price. HRH usually has rooms for about $99/night, but expect to pay at least double at Palms for a basic room.
I was surprised to hear that they get as much as $45K per night for the Hugh Hefner suites they regularly feature on television. If that is too much, but you still want to blow the budget, they have a variety of other suite options that range from a few thousand to tens of thousands per night. A DJ suite, Hardwood Suite with basketball court, Erotic suite, and on and on. You can see most of what they have to offer on the website. The whole hotel is designed for partying, so they do not discouage people from living it up in these rooms.
I have had a bit of luck in the casino, and have had a few drinks at the Ghost Bar on the roof. I have always been impressed with the crowd and ambiance at this property, but the location leaves a bit to be desired. You have to taxi in and out if you are staying on the Strip, and the taxi queue can take a while during busy times.
A condo complex was opened a year or so ago called Palms Place. From what I understand, you can rent those units nightly, if you need a full kitchen and what not. There are other nice amenities on-site like a movie theater and plenty of covered parking.
