How many nights should you stay at Palms Casino Resort?
Most visitors stay 2–3 nights at Palms Casino Resort to cover gaming, a rooftop or pool visit, and one or two meals or a show; if you plan day trips (Red Rock Canyon, Hoover Dam) or a spa-heavy weekend, allow 4–5 nights. For families or event attendees, match nights to the event length — Palms is a 21+ check-in property but welcomes hotel-guest families.

How long to stay: quick planning guide
A typical first-time stay is 2–3 nights: one evening for the casino, one day to use the pool and spa or catch a show, and a final morning to relax or have brunch before the 11:00 AM check-out.
If you want to add an off-property day trip (Red Rock Canyon, Hoover Dam, or a Grand Canyon excursion) plan an extra night so you’re not rushed.
- 1 night — quick casino or nightlife stop (arrive evening, depart next morning)
- 2–3 nights — good for seeing the highlights (casino, pool, a nicer dinner such as Scotch 80 Prime, and a show)
- 4–5 nights — allows a spa day, rooftop Ghostbar visit, and one nearby day trip
First-time visitors: what to prioritize
Start with the 95,000-square-foot casino, then pick one rooftop or pool experience — Ghostbar on the 55th floor has evening hours and a 21+ restriction, while the seasonal Palms Pool is an all-ages option for registered hotel guests during most hours.
Plan at least one sit-down dinner (Scotch 80 Prime or A.Y.C.E. Buffet) and leave time for In-Room Delivery or late-night quick bites from the food-court options if you’ll be up late.
- Casino and gaming floor
- Rooftop Ghostbar (21+; evening hours)
- Palms Pool (seasonal; lifeguard on duty; weekend age restrictions apply — see pool rules)
Families vs adults-only trips
Palms is a 21+ check-in property (one 21+ guest required per room) but hotel-guest families are welcomed; up to two children 12 and under stay free using existing bedding.
Pools have weekend age rules: hotel guests may use the Soak pool, but on Saturdays and Sundays it’s open to all ages only from 9–11 AM before switching to 21+ for the rest of the day. Families who need all-ages weekend swim options can use the nearby Laguna/Palms Place Pool.
- Check-in requires a 21+ guest
- Up to two kids 12 and under stay free with existing bedding
- Soak pool: all ages for hotel guests; weekend 9–11 AM open to all ages, then 21+
Pool, spa and wellness: how many days to include
If you plan a spa treatment or full facility day, add a dedicated day to your itinerary — The Spa at Palms has spa facilities 9AM–7PM and treatments 10AM–6PM, with a recommended arrival 30 minutes early for appointments.
Palms Pool is seasonal; it covers about three acres with two main pools, jacuzzis, a waterfall, and lifeguard service. If pool time is a priority, allow a full daytime block (mid-morning through late afternoon).
- Spa arrival: arrive 30 minutes before treatment time
- Spa admittance: 18+ for The Spa at Palms
- Pool is seasonal and enforces dress/code and search policies — check pool rules before you go
Rooms and suites: pick a length that fits your room choice
Palms has 12 room and suite types across two towers. If you want more space for relaxing or entertaining, book a suite and plan extra time to use the living area or order in-room dining.
Sky Villas and larger suites (for example, Fantasy 1 Bedroom Penthouse or Grand Suite) offer upgraded amenities and can warrant a longer stay if you plan time in-suite or host private gatherings.
- Short stay (1–2 nights): Ivory Room, Fantasy Room, or Ivory Two Queens Room
- Medium stay (2–4 nights): Fantasy Strip View Room, Fantasy Two Queens Room, Fairy-tale suites like Fantasy Executive Suite
- Longer stay (4+ nights): Ivory Suite, Grand Suite, Fantasy 1 Bedroom Penthouse, or Sky Villas
| Room / Suite | Bed type |
|---|---|
| Ivory Two Queens Room | 2 Queen Beds |
| Ivory Suite | 1 King Bed |
| Fantasy 1 Bedroom Penthouse | 1 King Bed |
| Grand Suite | 1 King Bed and 1 Double Sofa Bed |
| Fantasy Salon Suite | 1 King Bed and 1 Double Sofa Bed |
Dining and nightlife: schedule enough evenings
Palms has a wide range of dining options — from the 24-hour Serrano Vista Cafe to the A.Y.C.E. Buffet and Scotch 80 Prime steakhouse — so plan at least two different dinner experiences for a 2–3 night trip.
Ghostbar and other lounges operate at night (Ghostbar has specific evening hours and is 21+), so if nightlife is part of your trip, leave an evening free for a rooftop visit or the casino bars.
- Serrano Vista Cafe — open 24 hours
- A.Y.C.E. Buffet — brunch and dinner with listed prices and a 90-minute seating policy (see Palms for current pricing)
- Scotch 80 Prime — dinner service, Business Casual dress code
