The Palms is off strip, but I think it's the best place to be, because at night when the strip light up you have the best view from the balcony which you wouldn't get if you stayed on strip. We got an Uber/Lyft each time to get to the strip and it was ridiculously cheap to do so! The room itself was pure luxury, it was our first time in Vegas, and it was grandeur that we'd never experienced. The shower, huge bed and the view definitely make this place awesome!
