The Palms Casino Resort, also known simply as the Palms, is a casino hotel and residential tower located in Paradise, Nevada. The main tower has 702 rooms and suites and contains a 95,000 sq ft (8,800 m2) casino, a recording studio and a 2,200 seat showroom. The Palms is partly owned by George Maloof with 5% ownership from The Greenspun Corporation. Despite the fact that it is located off the Strip, the resort has become a popular destination for many, especially with younger people and Hollywood actors. The Palms competes for market share with Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, another off-strip resort aimed toward the 21-30 demographic. Both resorts are styled in a modern, neo-retro fashion. The Palms hosts the annual CineVegas film festival. The Fantasy tower is also home to several of Las Vegas's nightlife venues including Moon Nightclub, Rain Nightclub and the only Playboy Club.
The Palms opened on November 15, 2001 and was designed by The Jerde Partnership, a Los Angeles based architectural firm. In 2002, it was the resort where participants of MTV's The Real World: Las Vegas stayed. The level they rebuilt to accommodate MTV is now the "Real World Suite". In October 2005, the second tower, named the "Fantasy Tower", opened at a cost of $600 million. In keeping with George Maloof's basketball interest (he owns the Sacramento Kings of the NBA and Sacramento Monarchs of the WNBA), the new tower includes a two-story, 10,000 sq ft (930 m2) suite that includes the only basketball court in a hotel suite. The suite includes a locker room, score board and a multi-screen entertainment system. Some of the other Fantasy rooms include the G suite, the Pink suite, and the Playboy Villa.
