Fodor's Expert Review Palms Casino Resort
West Side
Casino
Editor's Note: This location is reported to be under new ownership and therefore this review may contain inaccuracies.
A $600-million renovation in 2018 gave the casino at this west-side property new life but COVID-19 decimated it, and the property was sold to the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians in early 2021. Slots are plentiful, with more than 1,300 machines total. There's stadium-style baccarat, as well as a circular pit of table games with lower-than-Strip minimums. The casino's sports book enables gamblers to bet from anywhere on property with a mobile app. Unknown, the bar in the center of the casino, boasts one of the best cocktail menus in town.
