Palms Pool and Bungalows Review

It's amazing what a little MTV can do for a place.

The Palms went from little known hotel off the Strip to rockstar status in 2002 thanks to "The Real World," and has since combined that popularity with the iconic Playboy brand. Needless to say, the Palms represents this generation well.

The Palms' rockstar status can be seen all over the hotel from the swanky clubs of Playboy and Rain to the Playboy and Hardwood Suites. But when rockstars look to cool off, where else do they go but the pool. And it wouldn't be a Palms' pool if they didn't put together several events to keep you in that party mood.

The party gets going on most Thursday nights with concerts featuring some of your favorite performers, like Ludacris and Flava Flav, and continues into the hottest Friday pool party -- Ditch Fridays. The Palms follows the most raucous Friday pool party with the much mellower Sunday party where you get to enjoy all the action for free, or as they put it: No cover, no lines, no hassles.

When you walk out of the Palms and into the pool area you are quickly met with two options: the tantalizing bar on the left or the sparkling pool on your right. If you opt out, at least momentarily, on a round of drinks we won't blame you, but don't worry after you're done trying out your best Michael Phelps impersonation you will be right on top of another bar.

The third bar is located conveniently in the middle of the two pools and directly under the third pool. That's right, we said under and no, you don't have to have the air capacity of a dolphin. The third pool sits one level above and provides views of both lower level pools and parts of the Strip.

The pool on the far end of the complex features a six-inch deep wading pool on two sides where you will find several lounge chairs in the water that will ensure you keep you cool when the temperature hovers in the triple digits.

On the outside of the pool area are a number of other lounge chairs, daybeds and cabanas. The cabanas are a must see just for their design. The bottom level along the far side of the pool is called the "Cave," which is fitting considering they look as if they were dug into the wall and accented with stone work on the outside. On the upper level is the "Candle," which has a tent-like top that lights up during nighttime hours.

The DJ booth sits near the back pool where DJs such as DJ Jazzy Jeff and the late DJ AM have spun. Oh, and MTV has given you one more thing at the pool: DJ Pauly D, "Jersey Shore" alum. So maybe you can think of the Palms' Pool as a chance to elevate your rockstar status and see what a little MTV can do for you.
