Age policy and kids at Palms: what families should know
Palms Casino Resort is an all-ages property for registered hotel guests, but you must be 21+ to check in (at least one 21+ per room). Families are welcome—up to two children 12 and under stay free using existing bedding—and pools and dining options include family-friendly alternatives.

Check-in, minimum age, and children policy
