Connected to the Palms Casino Resort, Palms Place is its more refined younger sister -- minus the gaming. It has an all-suite tower that offers fantastic views of the Strip as well as a lounge and pool. The vibe: Luxury-leaning hotel with reasonable rates, contemporary, quiet What we love: Palms Place is a short drive from the Strip, doesn't feel congested and whenever you crave gaming or more choices in food, nightlife and entertainment, nearly everything you could want is just a few moments away. Not a fan of casinos and smoking? Don't want to be among the crowds at resorts on the Strip? Then Palms Place is for you. It's also not bad for folks with kids. The accommodations at Palms Place feel more like urban condos than hotel rooms. You'll have a fully equipped kitchen at your fingertips. In addition to at least two large plasma TVs, there's a spa tub, waterfall shower and small TV in the bathroom. In addition, one-bedroom units are available for upgrade which include a larger kitchen, fireplace, in-unit laundry facilities and a sofa bed.  Insider tips: As mentioned, Palms Place is a short distance from the Strip. If you don't have a car, rideshare services and taxis are prevalent and available 24/7. Palms Place also offers a complimentary shuttle to its sister property Palace Station, which includes a full-service casino and several restaurants. Good to know: Opened in 2008, Palms Place isn't brand spankin' new, but it's in fairly good condition. The rooms feel modern and are filled with great amenities, but since they've never been remodeled you may find spots showing wear and tear as well as fixtures and appliances that could use some updating. The lighting is quite dim in the hallways and actually in the rooms too. But that's just due to décor choices, which include lots of small lamps with funky and interesting shapes. Palms Place doesn't have its own parking garage.If you want to park your car, you can use the west garage at the Palms, but you'll have to walk through the garage and around the exterior of Palms Place to enter it. There are also some parking spots in front of the hotel, but then you'll have to stroll up the driveway -- and maybe dodge a few vehicles -- before you get in. Palms Place has put in place new health and well-being procedures during your stay. Please review them here.
