The Palms has come a long way since its "Real World" debut in 2002. The resort has since added the Fantasy Tower and Palms Place, featuring 599 suites, making it a premier destination for tourists and visiting celebrities alike.

Outside of Palms Place, the hotel features more than 700 rooms and a series of extreme fantasy suites. For guests who don’t want to stay in the 2,900-square-foot Real World Suite, the Hardwood Suite with a half-sized basketball court or the King Pin Suite with two bowling lanes might be more up their alley. Other luxury options include the hip-hop-laden Crib Suite, the bachelorette party-friendly Hot Pink Suite or the Erotic Suite.

Hotel options aside, it’s no wonder why so many are attracted to the Palms. The resort offers some of the best nightlife in town, beginning with ghostbar, 55-stories above the casino floor, which offers one of the best views of the Strip. Hundreds of feet below, the 1,500-seat, state-of-the-art nightclub and showroom venue Rain draws fun-loving partygoers every weekend. The revamped-but-still-vintage Playboy Club is where gaming and nightlife come together, complete with cotton-tailed Bunny dealers. Topping off the nightlife options above the Playboy Club is Moon. With a retractable roof and space-inspired atmosphere, it’s a great place for guests to kick up their heels.

The resort features a food court and eight restaurants. At Alizé, diners can enjoy floor-to-ceiling views as well as gourmet meals; at Little Buddha, with its crimson, gold and celadon decorations, food is served in the shadow of a giant Buddha statue. A walk through the Sky Tube to Palms Place yields Simon, where diners can feast on chef Kerry Simon’s comfort food and famous Sunday brunch.

With all these amenities and a hip atmosphere, the Palms makes each guest feel like a celebrity.

Nightclub & Bars

Ghostbar: Ghostbar is the sultry indoor-outdoor ultra lounge at the Palms. Sitting high atop the casino on the 55th floor, Ghostbar offers some of the most stunning views of the Las Vegas Strip, which literally sparkles beneath. Outdoors, the sky-deck offers a 360-degree view of Vegas complete with a breathtaking view straight down through a glass inset in the floor. Inside, Ghostbar offers an intimate atmosphere with plenty of seating and unique lighting that changes along with the pulsing music. The ultra contemporary interior is perfect for lounging and indulging in a few specialty cocktails or something from the extensive wine and champagne list.

Moon Nightclub: The Fantasy Tower at the Palms got its name for a good reason. Moon nightclub, high atop the 53rd floor, transports visitors into a fanciful space-age themed club with Jetsons-like décor and shiny silver-uniformed cocktail waitresses. The color-changing glass tile floor, lasers and space imagery give the club a futuristic vibe. Moon brings the outdoors inside on warm nights when the roof retracts to offer a clear view of the desert sky and (duh!) the moon. When the roof is closed, the ceiling serves as a massive screen, projecting images of exciting scenes from the club below.

Playboy Club: You’ll never make it to the Playboy Mansion. Sorry. But you can gawk at bunnies right here in Vegas and play a few hands of black jack while you’re at it. Located in the aptly named Fantasy Tower at the Palms, Playboy Club combines all of Vegas’ guilty pleasures into a cozy, impeccably adorned suite of rooms. Beautiful women outfitted in Roberto Cavalli-designed bunny suits deal cards under Baccarat crystal chandeliers by décor guru Phillipe Starck. A glimmering bar built out of 10,000 diamond-shaped crystals beckons visitors to come down a martini or two, and the updated men’s club atmosphere pays homage to Hef and his logo at every turn. Even the bathrooms have gotten a scandalous makeover, with collage wallpaper featuring every centerfold from the last 25 years. Just remember: This club isn’t for the faint of wallet. If you want to party like the original playboy, you’d better arrive well funded.

What's Happening

Every Sunday: Sunday After Dark at the Playboy Club

Rain Nightclub: If The Palms is Las Vegas nightlife’s powerhouse hotel, then Rain is its star quarterback. Home to International DJ Paul Oakenfold and his first US residency in ten years, Saturday nights features the brit DJ and special guests for the Perfecto party. On Fridays, Music is the Currency hosts guest performers weekly. To enter the large dance club, you walk through a futuristic tunnel leading into the main room where a spectacular lighting show splashes the floor and walls with color. Rain may be best known, however, for its special effects like cascading water, fog and bursts of flame that shoot out from metal frames above the dance floor. The upper levels offer VIP cabanas and ultra-exclusive members-only suites accessed by a biometric thumbprint scanner.
