Palms Place Hotel and Spa

The Palms Casino Resort gained a new addition in 2008 with Palms Place Hotel and Spa. Designed by the noted architect Jon Jerde, and gated to ensure complete privacy, the new 47-story tower offers an exclusive ultra-hip haven for groups. Floor-to-ceiling windows take in the lights of the Las Vegas Strip nearby and the Spring Mountains on the desert horizon.

People come to the original Palms Casino Resort for nonstop energy, excitement, and celebrity buzz. Palms Place offers a more intimate, residential feel. The cutting-edge decor—at once edgy and elegant—extends from the lobby to the 50,000-square-foot spa, hammam, and pool complex; tanning salon; Simon Restaurant & Lounge; and some of the most spectacular condominium-style accommodations in the city. The designer penthouses, for instance, suspend cantilevered spa pools from their balconies.

Along with use of an executive boardroom on-site, groups have access to the extraordinary collection of meeting facilities at the Palms Casino Resort next door. 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 to the 10,283-square-foot Palms Ballroom above. The SkyTube, an elevated moving walkway, carries Palms Place guests directly to and from everything at the original resort, including the casino, 14-screen Brenden Theatres, the world's only Playboy Club, and additional celebrity hot spots Rain, Moon, Ghostbar, and N9NE Steakhouse. There are no packages available at this time. There are no hot dates at this time.
