A: The Palms reminds me of a washed up pop-star ... back in 2004 this place was HOT! I remember the Rain night club line wrapping all the way around the casino and no one could get a room reservation. Now a days, things are different. The Ghost Bar is no longer exclusive, I even saw someone in there wearing sweatpants and flip flops, yikes. There's a certain expectation for staying off strip, namely, a high quality hotel with a lower price tag, and the Palms just isn't ready to admit that, they still want their 2004 status with their 2013 reality. We stayed in the ivory tower where the hall ways were thin and the ceilings were low, reminiscent of a compact airport hotel. The rooms were medium sized and modern, but there was some truly hideous artwork I had to endure (imagine giant eye balls staring at you all the time). Plus they have these dumb half-shower doors that may look cool but result in a chilly experience. The sit-down restaurants just looked so sad. They were sparsely occupied yet heavily decorated and ridiculously over-priced. The fact that they had a mall-like food court with some decent options definitely draws people away. Then to top it off, the location of this hotel is terrible. You're only walking distance option is the Gold Coast (which ironically, ended up being the highlight of my trip, I think I'll stay there next time).

A: Went there on Tuesday for lunch, started with a shrimp cocktail appetizer, were given 3 shrimp for 12 dollars, almost made us send it back. The food wile good was almost 40 minutes getting there and the portions were relay small. I would suggest that people skip this experience.

A: We ordered lunch online for pick up and doing so got us in and out in a flash. Unfortunately, neither my husband or I was happy with our subs. I ordered a hot Turkey and bacon sub with peppercorn Ranch dressing. My sub was drowning in the peppercorn Ranch which caused the sub roll to be extremely soggy. I requested the bacon to be extra crispy but the bacon was so thin and fatty I had to take it off. My husband got a meatball sub. The meatballs were bland and they put on so much sauce that his sub roll was extremely soggy also. We will not be eating here again.

A:
Very diappointing and definately not up to par with the other top buffets in town. I went with every high expectations and had heard a lot of great things about it. I got there and it was 46 dollars basically the same price as the bacchanal buffet which is amazing so i immediately upped my expectations. I got in and the assortment was in no comparison to the bacchanal buffet . The food was old and nothing was fresh except the mexican section. The crabs were not King crabs they were snow crabs and they were gritty with not much meat in them. Overall the food was mediocre and nothing stood out as special that made me wanna go back. The gelato was very good but not enough to make me come back. I will never go to this buffet over the bacchanal buffet.
