Just off the Strip, the Palms enjoys a reputation as a hip and trendy celebrity hang-out. With a location just off the Strip, the casino also enjoys a clientele that includes locals as well as visitors. For Vegas casinos, a strong local presence is thought to give the players slightly better odds (although it's worth noting that the house always has the advantage). The Palms claims to have the loosest slots in town, and readers' polls in the Las Vegas newspaper seem to agree with that claim. A generously-sized casino floor is filled with a variety of games like poker, Casino War, roulette, and craps. High-stakes games include no-limit Texas Hold'em. Regular tournament play is offered on Wednesdays.
