text: Yes, I've DEFINITELY experienced better! I understand the party scene and casinos are important features of this hotel as with everywhere else in Vegas, but so should the service and overall quality of amenities. How does The Palms stand up to others within the field of hospitality?  It is as dated as Hugh Hefner. I felt like the front desk employee was speaking to me like I was James Bond (thank you, but this pad doesn't exactly scream high profile sir), and it simply falls short when it comes to meeting the expectations they create for themselves.  They will automatically place you in a room with one king-size bed and if you need 2 doubles, they will charge you extra! There is also some weird \"room service fee\" that I was not informed about and that is completely unnecessary if all you're doing is sleeping there, and you will be charged an additional \"resort fee.\" I began to wonder if I was booking a flight or staying at a hotel at this point and I realized I should have just used all that money to stay at a nicer place on the strip where there is an actual lobby.
