Nobody will accept the fact that Barbie has celebrated her 50th birthday because she’s as young and as fresh today as when she first hit the scene a half century ago! To salute the greatest doll of all time, the Palms today will unveil the Barbie Suite in the hotel’s Fantasy Tower, and as you would expect, Vegas DeLuxe has the first fabulous sneak peek thanks to our contributing photographer Denise Truscello.

Inside the pink and pampered palace, guests will find skirted, corseted lace-up dress chairs and a sunburst mirror made from 65 reproduction 1956 black and white swimsuit Barbie dolls. The custom decor features signature pieces from Barbie’s real-life Malibu Dream House.

Designed by Happy Chic interior designer Jonathan Adler, this is the ultimate Las Vegas destination for bachelorettes, birthday girls and anyone else who wants to be pampered in pink! Jonathan is launching his own Barbie Loves home decor collection this fall, and several pieces are part of the Barbie Suite.

Reservations for the sweet Barbie Suite are being accepted now.
