| - After much debate and obsession, I ended up choosing Palms Place as the hotel to take my son to Vegas for his 21st birthday. He thought we were spending the whole week in San Diego (took him there for a Chargers game), and got very excited when I finally told him we were going to Vegas. I did manage to keep the hotel a secret until we actually pulled up to the valet. I chose Palms Place based on reviews and videos on youtube. Based on the "wow" factor when we walked into the room, I would have to say I chose wisely.
Check in was swift, informative, and pleasant. Matt was a great ambassador for Palms Place, making us, and especially my son, feel very welcome and special. After talking to him about how and why we ended up at Palms Place, Matt said as a 21st birthday gift, he had upgraded us to a higher floor and strip view. Granted, the hotel was not busy, but the gesture was greatly appreciated and made a fabulous room even better. Ended up scoring a corner suite on the 28th floor.
I booked the 1 bedroom suite, which is HUGE. These are "condos" that were offered for sale at one point, but now are rented out as rooms. This place had everything: full kitchen with state of the art appliances, living room w/fireplace, fold out sleeper sofa, tv, desk, easy chairs, and awesome lighting, washer/dryer, 1/2 bath, full bath with dual sinks and HUGE 3 head shower, and king size bedroom with flat screen tv, lots of storage, big jacuzzi tub, and a balcony overlooking the strip. This is the kind of room you almost feel bad leaving because it is just so damn nice. The strip view was amazing, and at night it was even better.
There is a motorized, enclosed walkway from the Palms Place hotel area to the Palms Casino area. The casino was never overly busy and in my humble opinion one of the nicer, cleaner, and modern casinos in Vegas. Not a huge gambler, but the slots at the Palms were loose and had some good promos with the player's club.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to quote the rate I paid for this room, so I will just say that I got an INCREDIBLE deal and it also included a $25 food/bev credit. Sure, we could have stayed on the Strip for cheaper, but I have NO regrets over my choice. I am sure the week before Christmas was the biggest factor in getting such a great deal and also the reason we didn't have crowds to deal with. We loved the location, the atmosphere, the amenities, and the service.
To sum things up, if you want a great room with awesome extras and don't mind staying off the strip, Palms Place is ideal for you. If you want the hustle and bustle of the strip and all you want the room for is somewhere to crash, I would advise staying elsewhere, but remember, "you get what you pay for".
P.S. There is a "resort fee", but if you have done your homework, you already know that and it won't make a difference on choosing to stay here.
