The place is nice. The pictures you see of the room is exactly how it looks in person. However, let me list all of the things that the listing does not disclose before you decide to book here:
1. Everything at the Palms CASINO RESORT is closed. The casino, the theatre, the restaurants, the pools. While this condo is connected to the Palms resort, you will have to Uber to a different casino to do any sort of gambling.
2. The restaurant/lounge in the Palms place is only open Thursday-Mondays from 4-12pm. We never went in our 6 days of staying there because by time 4pm came around we were already out doing something different on the strip because there was nothing else to do there.
3. The pool is nice but since the restaurants closed you can only get sandwiches, vegetables, and some fruits (or something else). You also can’t order food (from Uber eats) and eat it at the pool.
4. This place is nice if you’re coming to Vegas and want to cook your own food, but if you’re coming to Vegas and don’t want to cook, then you’ll be spending most of your money on Uber or Uber eats. Also, there’s a trash room by the elevators that we didn’t know about until the day before checkout. So we had food bags just sitting around the room because the garbage cans were pretty small.
5. It’s about a $20 Uber ride to the strip.
6. Three towels for 2 adult women was hard enough, so bring your own towels, the shower would leak onto the bathroom floor outside of the shower door so we had to use one of our towels solely as a floor towel to stop the water.
It was probably my mistake for not looking things up more when I booked. I’ve stayed in Vegas 3 times prior on the strip and I know I’m complaining a lot but I just think my assumptions coupled with the lack of disclosures in the listing led me to be extremely disappointed. My friend called the Palms Place a couple of days before our trip and was told that everything was closed and I reached out to the host and they never responded. Then the day before we check out they sent the check out instructions (which is when I found out where to put our trash). At that point I was so frustrated I didn’t even want to throw the trash out, but I did anyways.
Basically, if you’re coming to Vegas to sit in a nice room to look at the strip but never go to it and just want to go swimming, then this is a great place. But if you’re coming to Vegas to experience the night life, see the strip, and eat at nice restaurants, then spend the extra cash on getting a room on the strip. You’re going to spend $40 a day minimum just to get to the strip and if you’re not planning on making your food yourself you’ll spend $60 a day just to have your food delivered.
I’m sure during non-COVID times I would’ve been happy with this place. And once the Palms opens back up this place is going to be really nice, but consider the things I’ve mentioned above before booking.
