The Pros: Beautiful 29th story view of the Strip from afar, easy parking and entrance to the Palms Place (the most West tower which was a little tricky for me to find at first due to user error). Spacious unit, plenty of rooms for me + 3 kids. Gorgeous bathroom with big jetted tub. The WiFi worked great and indeed there was no parking or resort fee. Easy drive to the strip or I-15 within minutes.
The Cons: The kitchenette was disappointing, no silverware and the 'stovetop' didn't get hot enough to cook a quesadilla, it's more like a warm plate. No knives even for a block of cheese & crackers. The tv only got 2 channels, and we never could figure out how to turn 1 of them off so it glowed like a black-screened nightlight all night. The pools closed randomly and the Casino pool closes at 7 pm and they are aggressive about kicking people out at 6:45, which was a disappointment since hotel pool swimming is a highlight for my family.
In Sum: It was clean and I felt safe and comfortable staying there and the location was great. However, it was not worth the high 'weekend price' cost for me to stay there without a fully functioning kitchenette or pools.
