Palms Casino Resort

People all over the world know the Palms Casino Resort for its celebrity buzz. The glitterati flock to the Las Vegas property to party like rock stars in its clubs, casino, acres of pools, restaurants, and suites with amenities like an indoor regulation half-basketball court and locker rooms—and a hip-hop DJ mixing booth near a bouncing, tilting hydraulic bed. The guest list reads like a lineup for People magazine, from Shaq, David Beckham, and Michael Phelps to George Clooney, Britney Spears, and Mary J. Blige.

Beyond the obvious incentives for meeting attendance at the Las Vegas legend, the Palms provides an extraordinary collection of conference facilities, both traditional and not so traditional. The Pearl Theater, for example, seats up to 2,500 delegates, offers 18 private and semiprivate boxes, and connects via sound and recording systems to the 8,000-square-foot Studio at the Palms and the 10,283-square-foot Palms Ballroom above. Along with 60,000 square feet of dedicated ballroom, boardroom, and breakout space, the choice of venues extends to the Fantasy Suites, restaurants, and poolside settings.

Guests live in three towers, including the gated Palms Place Hotel and Spa. The SkyTube, an elevated moving walkway, carries Palms Place guests directly to and from everything at the original resort, including the casino, 14-screen cineplex, the world's only Playboy Club, and additional celebrity hot spots like Rain, Moon, and Ghostbar.

Palms Casino Resort has launched Palms Casino Fantasy Blackjack, a new game for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch that borrows the best elements of Fantasy Football and applies them to the most popular casino table game in the world: blackjack. Palms Casino Fantasy Blackjack is now available for a free download online in the Apple App Store.

"We didn't want to launch another 'me-too' blackjack app, but instead looked to create something fresh that had the Palms fingerprint on it," said Jason Gastwirth, Chief Marketing Officer for Palms. "While most blackjack app games are one-dimensional and played alone, we broke that mold with Fantasy Blackjack and, with our partner Sevryn Mobile, created a socially-interactive and fun experience around a casino game that people already know and love."

The objective of Fantasy Blackjack is to win the most virtual dollars from other players in your league and be crowned the winner at the end of the season.

Similar to a fantasy football league, a Palms Casino Fantasy Blackjack player establishes oneself as "commissioner" and invites friends to join a league. Invites are sent via e-mail, the user's iPhone contacts or through Facebook. The commissioner sets season details, such as season duration (up to 90 days) and basic season rules. Any player can form their own league or join multiple leagues. Any player can choose to become a blackjack dealer by creating and publishing a "deal offer" to the rest of the league. Similar to any blackjack table, the dealer sets all the table rules such as how many decks are in the shoe, the minimum and maximum bet, blackjack payout, double down rules and when the dealer hits. At any time during a season, players in a league can browse the available deal offers published by other players in their league and choose the action they like the most.

Fantasy Blackjack, which pioneers a new "fantasy casino" niche in mobile games, is fast-paced fun that provides some of the unique camaraderie of sitting at a blackjack table among friends in Vegas. Fantasy Blackjack enables to see pictures of other players while at the blackjack table, which adds a personal touch and makes it feel as if players are competing against friends, not just the computer. Ultimately players know that any digital dollars won or lost to friends in Fantasy Blackjack will affect their placement on the season leader boards, which makes a big "double down" much more exciting than ordinary blackjack app games.
