The Palms Casino Resort, located just west of the Strip, knows all about style (just take a look at their art collection), and delivers substance with contemporary rooms, a top-notch concert venue, an off-the-charts nightclub and mouthwatering restaurants.
The vibe:
Contemporary, artistic, an off-Strip oasis.
What we love:
The Pearl is one of the best concert venues in town. And the restaurants here are nothing short of spectacular. But what really floats our boat is the art. Globally renowned artists like Damien Hirst, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol and Dustin Yellin share spaces with contemporary artists like Adam Parker Smith, Eric Haze, Jason REVOK, Olivia Steele, Dabs Myla, Keegan Gibbs and more. Dope art and a comfy place to stay? Sounds like a win to us.
Instead of reading about the lives of the rich and famous, you can live them – at least for a day – by reserving one of the Palms’ Sky Villas. Located near the top of the Fantasy Tower, these one- and two-story suites provide luxuries you’ve never dreamed of – like cantilevered pools. Seriously, there are glass-enclosed pools that jut out and overlook the Strip.
Insider tips:
Fans who remember MTV’s “The Real World” can get a group of friends together and book a stay in the Real World Suite. Home to the reality show’s first Las Vegas cast, this swanky crib boasts three bedrooms, a full bar, a pool table and the famous communal bathroom. Plus, it still has the “Confessional” room‚Äöin case you need to get a few things off your chest this trip.
Good to know:
The Palms is located near, but not on the Strip. For those without a car, the distance isn’t walkable thanks to the I-15 and its on- and off-ramps. This means if you don’t have a car, you’ll either have to take taxis or your favorite ridesharing companies.
