| - Here's something funny I recently realized; The Palms is the complete embodiment of the 7 Deadly Sins. I don't think any other casino in Vegas comes close.
Lust: Pretty much EVERYTHING in this place is twisted around so it has something to do with sex. Even the pictures hanging on the wall in the buffet and some of the restaurants.
Gluttony: A small buffet with not a whole lot going on but still allows people to eat in excess.
Vanity: The place is image-obsessed to the point of ridiculousness. Don't fit the conventional Hollywood standards of ~beauty? You can come, but you might not feel welcome.
Wrath: OK, I didn't really see much of this....maybe if this was the new place for Boxing matches in Vegas? And then of course the competitive gamblers?
Greed: Huge casino which definitely attracts quite a lot of high rollers.
Sloth: There's a condo tower attached so there's a good amount of people who literally LIVE at the casino.
Envy: The high rollers with money falling out of their pockets? The celebrities? The women so fine it's unreal? How can anyone NOT feel envious walking through the halls of this modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah?
I have a really hyperactive imagination, I know.
Anyways, I have stayed here before and the room was pretty damn nice if you asked me. A lot of people give this hotel such a bad rap, but I still loved the room regardless. It was huge, the beds were comfy, the bathroom was very spacious and the view was AMAZING. The hallway was a little creepy, but I read Creepy Pasta and other stuff about the paranormal too much so what doesn't creep me out anymore?
For some reason or another, I always find myself at this casino. The movie theater is really nice and holds special events all the time(I saw Moonwalker here on MJ's first birthday after he died.....okay, that sounded kind of morbid). The buffet is largely mediocre with a few random treats I would go out of my way for(hint: if you ever end up at this buffet make sure you taste the bread pudding.....oh god). The 24/7 cafe is overpriced so I've never eaten there. Garduno's is a decent but overpriced Mexican joint. There's a little mall area next to the elevator for the main tower which contains the ~Cosmic Corner and just a bunch of other stores selling crappy stuff.
I have to admit, I don't like the place that much, but I always seem to be here. It's pretty much the only movie theater anyone I know seems to ever be interested in going to so I guess I don't have much of a choice. It holds a strange nostalgic value for me though, I can imagine myself still regularly visiting the place 30 years from now.
