I go to Vegas approx 4-6 times a year on business and pleasure.  I typically stay at the Venetian or the Palms.  Having been to Vegas so much, it's habitual and a comfort and I like both places, even though they cater to a different type of crowd.\n\nMost recently, I stayed at Palms Place with my girlfriend- her first trip ever to Vegas.  I got a 1 bedroom suite and it was amazing.  First off, it's huge.  It has a half-bath as you walk in, and as you make your way down the hall, the huge windows and views hit you all at once.  Wow.  Out one side I could see the airport and mountains, and on the other wing of windows the strip was right in front of me.  If Bellagio was a little shorter, I probably could have seen the fountains!  But I digress...the room has a kitchette, a fireplace, a great living room, very comfy bed and bedroom and the MOST awesome shower.  Ever.  That shower is worth price of admission folks.  Trust me.  I shower daily (sometimes twice), so I know of which I speak!  It has a huge spout over head and then a few on each side, so certainly a his and her shower...and certainly room for friends, if you're into that sort of thing!  In case I'm not clear, I like the showers.  \n\nNear the window, in the bedroom, there is also a stand-alone soaking jacuzzi tub- it's pretty incredible too (this is not available in the studio sized rooms).  It's great to sit with a drink, look out over the strip and just....ah...enjoy.  The room is clean, has all the amenities you could want and is well kept.\n\nThe ONLY complaint I have about the room is this...it has a HUGE wrap-around balcony, but you can't open the sliding doors, due to idiots throwing stuff off of them in the past.  It would be wonderful to stand / sit out there and do whatever, but instead you get to be like a caged animal behind some strong glass and look, but not touch.  I realize this isn't really the Palms doing, but I don't give out 5-stars easily, so it's more like a 4.5 star review.\n\nThe casino is a decent walk from Palms Place, but you can do so in a covered environment.  There are decent eating establishments in Palms Place as we dined at Simon's one night, pool side.  That was neat and the food and service was outstanding.  There is valet available, but parking just beyond the hedges is an easy walk if you decide to self-park.  \n\nThis is a great, just-off-trip location.  Try it, you'll like it.
