As Chris Rock said; "There are two types of malls in every town... the one people go to... and the one people 'used' to go to." The later is the Palms.
What in the hell happened to this place? It used to be "thee" place for a while, used to pull people off the strip.
This is more about the overall feel of the place... it turned super "ghetto". I'm not talking in racial terms, I'm just talking the quality of people that are slumming through here is crazy. I haven't been here since its peak but it changed - a LOT, from what I remember. It used to be fairly high-end, fun, etc. It's now just absolute gutter trash hanging out in the casino.
You can get that "caliber" of people at some back alley casino, honestly. It just doesn't mesh. I don't know why this place has been run into the ground. It just lost the prestige it had, or something. They really need to figure out how to re-market their brand or something because this is a sinking ship.
