    Palms needs to bring reasons for people to go there. Back in the day, there nightclub was a main attraction. You won't win unless you're continuously innovating. Stagnant brands die off...

    I am a little anxious/nervous about the change for the Palms. I have had some very good luck with VP there. We really like Earl of Sandwich and Chronic Tacos for a quick bite to eat.

    I like the place. I agree that the crowds are down the past 2-3 years. Weekdays/nights it can be pretty dead in there. I stayed at Palms Place last month and I'm staying at Palms next week for part of our trip. I love the location, the food options are good, service is always good. It will be interesting to see what happens with the ownership change.

    Stations has full pay VP like Palms. I like playing the 10/6 DDB at both of them

    I remember when:
    - The Palms was an empty strip of land
    - Watching it being built over various visits
    - Finally visiting the place and going to the Ghostbar

    Can't believe it got sold. But then again, its Vegas, baby.

    I stopped by the Palms twice on my last visit and really enjoy that casino. Very fair blackjack rules. It wasn't busy and the dealers I talked to were anxious about the merger. Said changes were supposed to start taking place in September. This is from a couple of dealers so take it for what it's worth.

    I think Stations will be good for Palms. It's a nice property and good place to gamble IMO.

    I agree! Hope the change takes place before my October 5th visit!

    The sale has officially been approved. Red Rock said it will spend 6-18 months on a "refresh" of the property. No details.

    Will Palms keep up with the better quality payouts on VP or will they move off that? Stayed there a lot and even had our wedding reception at Nove. It kind of went south after Maloof got the boot but I've always enjoyed myself there... Hope this is for the better with Stations.

    I actually like the Palms better now than when I first went in there 8 years ago. They aren't as snooty as they were in 08. I am going to visit the Palms next month while staying at the Gold Coast.

    Station casino are noted for having good vp! I have no doubt that Palms will not only keep their good vp but maybe add some full pay nickels!
