| - The Palms Casino in Vegas is separated into three separate towers: The Fantasy Tower, The Ivory Tower (which are right next to each other) and Palms Place, which is connected by a tunnel. This pool is for the Palms Place, thus its name. It's much smaller than the Palms Pool for the two towers. It's much more relaxing, a bit quieter as it doesn't have club music blasting throughout the day.
The pool is accessed at the 6th floor, next to their spa. Towels are available for your deck chairs. The pool isn't deep, I believe about 5 ft at its deepest end. There's an area where it's very shallow, and this is where they place patio furniture for the party weekends or special events. On weekdays, it's safe for the kids. The pool itself is shaped like an "L", so depending on the time of day you want to lay & bake, the shadow cast by the Palms Place Tower will force you to move ... you'll see what I mean.
There's a bar and a cocktail waitress, or you can try not to be lazy and walk up to the bar yourself. Lunch can also be ordered from the adjoining restaurant, Cafe 6. Although I never ordered from them, it does look like they make a huge juicy burger.
If you're looking for the Vegas like, action packed, tatooed jocks and hot girls in tiny bikinis kind of pool, this is not it. But if you prefer a more mellow pool, family friendly smaller pool ... check this out.
* yes, use sunblock! You know how the Vegas sun gets.
* self serve water near the bar so you don't faint.
* return used towels to the hamper, next to where you picked up clean ones.
* weekends are not as relaxing. music is louder, more people and a bit more party atmosphere.
