Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas

The Palms Casino Resort offers its guests some of the city's most spectacular views of the Las Vegas Strip, unique rooms, memorable nightlife venues and a bevy of dining options.

From ghostbar on the 55th floor to Rain Las Vegas just off the casino, the Palms is the hotel for the MTV generation - so much so that the 12th season of MTV's "The Real World" was shot at the resort, and now hotel guests can stay in the 2,900-square-foot suite created for the show's cast.

The resort today is the home of Bravo's "Celebrity Poker Showdown" and is a Vegas playground for music celebrities and Hollywood stars, with specialty suites offering extra-large furniture for the hotel's many NBA guests, and two luxury Playpen suites (complete with stripper poles) that attract not only bachelor and bachelorette parties but also A-list celebrities.

The Palms offers some of the best nightlife in town, beginning with ghostbar. Its open-air deck offers amazing 180-degree views of the Vegas Strip. Fifty-five stories below, the 1,500-seat, state-of-the-art nightclub and showroom venue Rain Las Vegas has a line of fun-loving partygoers every weekend.

The resort's dining options are equally extraordinary, from Alize, where diners can enjoy floor-to-ceiling views as well as gourmet meals, to Little Buddha, with its crimson, gold and celadon decorations and giant Buddha statue.
