| - I was debating on giving this two stars, but I've decided to give it one. I usually don't give one stars unless there is something *really* off about the service and the whole atmosphere, but I couldn't help to do it with Ditch Friday at The Palms pool.
Being a Vegas local, I was *extremely* shocked to see how *small* this pool is. For a casino resort like The Palms, I was expecting something that was as just as good as the reputation the casino gets. There are only two major pools here; one considered the "main" pool, the other a slightly more colder pool which is around the bungalows, DJ, and cabanas.
You have to get here very early enough to snag a chair, and due to how small the pool really is, they are closely packed together and you really don't get any personal space (I understand most pools can be like this with the chairs, but here it just seemed *really* claustrophobic on all four corners!) I didn't have any problem getting in since I was a local, but when I arrived at 10:30AM there seemed to already be a long line on the inside.
With the two bars, they are very understaffed for the volume of people there. Also, the cocktail waitresses seemed to be more concentrated around serving at the pool closest to the bungalows instead of the main pool, which I thought to be a little odd? The drinks itself are unique, but I felt like the mixed drinks were more sweetened than a real drink to enjoy by poolside.
This is a pool more for the show and glamor of beautiful people of Las Vegas. There were promoter models who strutted out the day I went and were walking around in their heels taking memorable Vegas pictures with tourists. Unless you're into catching some eye-candy, I'd say there are *definitely* better pools elsewhere in Vegas.
