There has been significant progress and they are ready to show off all of the new goodies. Palms is opening of a collection of new restaurants and entertainment venues while the resort’s casino floor has a new look and feel. Additionally, the resort will be unveiling a new property-wide contemporary art program on May 18.

The casino floor at Palms has received a complete remodel. New features include lighting, wood ceiling fixtures, and bright carpet tones. There are more than 40 new table games, which feature charging outlets at many seats, and more than 1,100 video poker and slot machines. Palms has also revealed a new High Limit gaming lounge and dramatic new center bar.

Upon entering the property guests are greeted by lush new landscaping. Of couse, it includes many palm trees that sit alongside a 126-foot-tall, 60-foot by 54-foot LED screen dual-sided marquee. Additionally, the resort recently unveiled an all-new VIP check-in lounge where guests are welcomed to the hotel with dark brown woods, vanilla onyx, and tufted leather seating while surrounded by a collection of fine art.

Visitors will now see a one-of-a-kind art program throughout the property. The new program includes a number of pieces from the personal art collections of Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta.
