The Palms Casino Resort is a casino hotel and residential tower located near the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The Palms Casino Resort has 653 rooms and suites and contains a casino, recording studio, Michelin-starred restaurant, and 2,500-seat concert theater. Although it is located off the Strip, the resort has become a popular destination for many, especially younger people, Hollywood actors, and celebrities. The Palms competes for market share with Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, another off-strip resort aimed toward the 21–39 demographic. Both resorts are styled in a modern, neo-retro fashion. The Fantasy Tower is also home to several nightlife venues including Moon Nightclub and Rain Nightclub. The tower holds what are known as the Sky Villas and Fantasy Suites, which are some of the most expensive hotel suites in the world. The Two Story Sky Villa on the top floor, billed at per night, is listed at number 5 on the ''World's 15 Most Expensive Hotel Suites'' compiled by CNN Go in March 2012.〔Arnold, Helen ("World's 15 most expensive hotel suites" ) ''CNN Go''.

Retrieved April 11, 2012〕 The Sky Villas have played host to numerous celebrities. ==History== The Palms project was first developed by the Maloof family in July 1999,〔(Palms Project Reveal )〕 during the Fiesta Casino expansion. The casino resort broke ground in July 2000. The project was officially announced by George Maloof on October 24, 2000. Construction was completed on September 26, 2001.〔(Palms Construction Completion )〕 The Palms opened on November 15, 2001, to a massive crowd of people. Multiple celebrities attended the grand opening, such as Dennis Rodman, Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton, and Samuel L. Jackson. In 2002, it was the resort where participants of MTV's ''The Real World: Las Vegas'' stayed. The level they rebuilt to accommodate MTV is now the "Real World Suite" billed at $10,000 per night.〔(Andy Dehnart. "Las Vegas house cost the Palms $2 million; Ikea-free space matches hotel." realityblurred.com; September 11, 2002. )〕〔(The Palms suite at realworldhouses.com )〕〔〔(Andy Dehnart. "Fate of 'Real World' houses varies after filming" MSNBC April 27, 2008 )〕 On October 27, 2005, the second tower, named the "Fantasy Tower", opened at a cost of $600 million. In keeping with George Maloof's basketball interest (the Maloofs were majority owners of the NBA's Sacramento Kings), the Fantasy Tower includes a two-story, suite that includes the only basketball court in a hotel suite. The suite includes a locker room, scoreboard, and multi-screen entertainment system. Some of the other fantasy rooms include the G suite, the Barbie suite, and the King Pin suite. The Palms hit financial trouble in 2010, when it started missing loan payments. Under an agreement reached with creditors TPG Capital and Leonard Green & Partners, they each received a 49% stake in the property in November 2011, in exchange for erasing about $400 million in debt.〔 The Maloof family retains a 2% share, with options to buy back up to 20%, and George Maloof continues to manage the property.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Palms Casino Resort」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
