Stayed at the Palms last weekend.  How could I turn away a $49 dollar rate?!  It was so well priced that I invited my old nanny to come along and brought the kids (1 and 3 years).  I know, \"who bring their kids to Vegas?!\"  Even more embarassing, who drives their kids to Vegas and valet parks the minivan?  ( HAHAHA..   man, how 5 years can really change a man. - but I digress)\n\nDecided to come out to the hotel. I never really liked the Palms because I tend to like to gamble. This is a hotel where you do NOT want to gamble. This is a hotel to come to relax, drink, party people watch, and head to the spa. Why do I say this?  Because the Palms attracts young and beautiful women, which in turn attracts young dumb guys. Neither of these  2 types of people know how to gamble worth a damn and will invariably mess you up at the 21 table.  ( thanks again to the guy who cost me $800 on one hand by taking the dealers bust card when she was showing a freaking SIX).  Don't gamble here unless you are totally ok with just socializing with good looking people and losing money doing it.  I guarentee you will. \n\nBut what is nice about this boutique hotel is that its not so huge that it takes forever to get things done. Want the bell desk, he is up in 5 mins, picking  up your car at valet, 5 mins again. Forget your bag in the car, call for it to be brought up.  I also found out that they have a Place called Kids Quest there. You can bring your kids and they will watch them for you for up to 5.5 hours. Not bad at only 7 bucks/ hour. We were able to give our nanny some time off and she was able to enjoy the spa as well. The kids quest place is awesome. My kids didnt want to leave. Video games, food and everything else a kid would want to do. Ok, someone stole our stroller here, so that threw a damper on one of my club nights dealing with the cops, but that wasnt there fault. \n\nThe rooms were really nice. We got 2 ajoining rooms so it was super convenient.  Clean, modern and comfortable. Make sure to check your bill for extras, cuz when you pick up the huge box of condoms next to the peanuts to read it, bingo, it shows up on your bill. \n\nEye candy galore, gorgeous people, great breakfast buffet (7 bucks) and super great rates make for a great hotel stay.  Highly recommended
