The Palms opened on November 15, 2001 and was
designed by Greg Wheeler.
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" and
is available for reservations.
In October 2005, the second tower, dubbed the
"Fantasy Tower", opened at a cost of $600 million. In keeping
with the Maloof family's basketball interest (they own the
Sacramento Kings of the NBA and Sacramento Monarchs of the
WNBA), the new tower includes a two-story, 10,000-square-foot
suite that includes the world's 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.
The Fantasy tower is also home to two of Las
Vegas's newest nightlife venues, Moon Nightclub and the
world's only Playboy Club.
The Palms hosted the 2007 MTV Video Music
Awards on September 9, 2007. Audience members and many of the
celebrities were seated inside the resort's Pearl
Theater.
