This has been quite a year for Palms. The first phase of renovations is complete just two years after being purchased by Station Casinos. Much of the casino floor has a new look and the work isn’t complete. There will be new venues opening at Palms throughout 2019.
The initial phase of renovations look great but it’s time for Station Casinos to give Las Vegas visitors a reason to check out the new and improved Palms. Restaurants from celebrity chefs are extremely popular with tourists in Las Vegas.
Palms will have three different celebrity chef restaurants opening. Vetri Cucina from Marc Vetri and Mabel’s BBQ from Michael Symon will open before the end of the year. Shark from Bobby Flay will open in 2019.
Dinner And A Show
The new restaurants will help bring visitors to Palms but that’s only part of the mix. Plenty of people visit casinos in Las Vegas for dinner and a show. The Pearl at the Palms is one of the most popular concert venues for touring bands.
The Pearl will also be home to a variety of resident artists in 2019. The concept of residencies at The Pearl is still relatively new. Station Casinos first major residency at Palms has been Blink 182’s “King Of The Weekend.” This residency took place on weekends throughout the year.
The residency must have been popular because Station Casinos recently announced two new residencies for 2019.
