It certainly isn’t the biggest resort on the Las Vegas Strip, in fact, its not even on the strip; but, Maloof’s Palms Resort is a most desirable place to be in Las Vegas. Having quickly become the playground for the new generation of hip culture, the Palms is where you go to see the rich and famous, the beautiful people, the sports superstars, movie stars and music giants. Owner George Maloof pulled another coup out of his enchanted bag when he landed the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards at the property and focused the world’s attention on the Palms Las Vegas.
More than 700 guest rooms and suites await the lucky Palms visitors. The Palm’s ultra-suites are known throughout the world for their gigantic size, unique features and list of super star guests that have made the Palms Hotel their Las Vegas home.
