The Palms Now Discounting Their Salon Suites

Looking for accommodations at The Palms that's somewhere in between $40,000 a night and $69 a night (with the possibility of a dark hair in the tub?) Then consider the Salon Suites.

The Palms has always been a deal during the week (we stayed in April for just $69 a night) but now they've begun discounting their Salons Suites midweek too. These suites have up to 800-sq.ft. of space with a separate living rooms, a stocked mini-bar, Bose sound system, 30" and 42" flat-screen TVs, jacuzzi tubs and king beds.

The Palms Salon Suite special must be booked for a minimum of three nights but it throws in the following perks:

The Signature's Seven Day Sale Has Suites From $98

Yeah of course we like rock bottom roomrates but a little luxury never did anyone any harm, so we felt a little frisson of excitement when an email from The Signature at MGM Grand popped into our inbox last night offering suites from $98.

The $98 figure is 20 percent off the standard rates and although they’re not all over the place, there’s a fair amount of availability for $98 throughout July, August and September on weekdays – the cheapest weekend we could see was $143, which you can bag on several Friday nights in August and September.

All in all, not as good as their last offer (which included a resort credit – this gives you zip) but if you missed that (dummy) it's still not bad. Book here by July 12 for dates up to September 30, and don’t forget the gruesome $20 resort fee.

Las Vegas Hilton Opens Its 46 Classic Suites to the Public

The Conrad Sky Villa, which has three bedrooms and two floors!

There's a new reason to give the Las Vegas Hilton a try on your next trip to Vegas--the hotel's classic suites, which have typically been used only by celebrities and VIPs, are now open to the public.

The forty-six (46) distinctive suites within the Las Vegas Hilton offer a variety of design options and features to meet the needs of the most discerning guest. For the ultimate VIP experience, our premier accommodations include the three palatial Sky Villas, spacious and elegant residences ranging from 12,000 to 15,400 square feet.

The Sky Villas look the dopest, even the overly Italianate Verona Sky Villa which features three bedrooms, a private outdoor pool and garden and a sculpted observation deck. This suite, along with the Tuscany SKy Villa make up what was once Elvis' famed suite at the hotel. However, this room/mini-mansion has been touched by Robin Leach, whose old show "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" once featured the suite.

Who Rents Out The Hugh Hefner Suite for $40,000 a Night?

Apparently, it's married folk from Baltimore.

In an article in the WSJ yesterday about the most expensive hotel suite outside of Vegas (that would be the Four Seasons New York), we learned who recently rented out the Hugh Hefner Suite at The Palms on May 2.

Johnna Magliano from Baltimore stayed in the country's most expensive suite...for her May 2 wedding. She and her husband said their vows next to the room's pool featuring a Playboy bunny symbol. They hosted their 110-person reception in the suite--which also includes a rotating bed and a 12-person whirlpool--and then stayed the night. (The $40,000 only covered the room. The party cost extra."

We sincerely hope that the newlyweds plan on loving the Playboy symbol for the rest of your life as there's no way to digitally remove that logo from all of the wedding pics.

The Signature Has Some Pretty Suite Rates For Summer

As you might have gathered from our BoB obsession, our tummies are constantly a-rumble in Vegas, so the new In-Suite Cooking Package at The Signature at MGM Grand got us hankering after a sample. And although we thought $109 was a pretty fine starting rate when we looked last week, the rate calendar right now has got us salivating.

The Luxury For Less package has rooms starting at $99 and includes a $50 beverage credit which you can redeem at the Signature Lobby Lounge, the pools at the Sig or at MGM Grand, and Studio 54, Tabu and Wet Republic. You don’t need a food credit, because you’ll be making your own Baked Ziti every night, obvs.

From the looks of the calendar, there’s a fair bit of availability for the $99 rooms. They’re midweek, of course – but weekend rates in June start at $155 and $129 in July, which sounds ridonkulously good value to us.

What Goes On in The Palms Suite When The Jackson Kids Come To Town

The Palms is definitely not our first choice for a kid-friendly hotel in Vegas but when Michael Jackson is your father, we're guessing no one is reading any "Best Scenes in Vegas for Families" type of stuff.

But when the Jackson kids hit up The Palms over Thanksgiving (remember, they also stayed there last August), they had someone film a Cribs-style video of the suite. Showbiz411 reports that the kids were "romping around" their suite (the Hardcourt Suite).

Really, it's just a poorly lit video following one of the Jackson kids (not Michael's) around the suite as the dude behind the camera creepily chimes in with.."Mmm...I like that." Also, we think that's Blanket running around in the background.

Then again, we can't blame these kids for going crazy over their suite. That is EXACTLY what we would do, video tour and all.

Here's what else is going on in Vegas:

The Aria's SkySuites Make You Feel Sky High

The sweet suite with the killer view is, as Theate3541 guessed correctly, a one-bedroom Sky Suite in the new Aria Resort and Casino. These suites have a separate entrance from the rest of the hotel, a dedicated check-in desk, a private lounge stocked with food and drink and roundtrip transportation from the airport. It's actually quite similar to the Hotel32 the swank digs atop The Monte Carlo.

Inside the rooms have all the high-tech amenities of the regular rooms like flat-screen TVs and a control panel that controls all the lights, drapes, temperature etc. But there's a separate living room area, a powder bathroom, a huge master bathroom, a wet bar and a small dining room table for four. The table has the killerest (?) views of all. We can't wait to strike it rich one day and order room service up in this suite.

But until then, staying in the suites will require some creative accounting. One-bedroom Sky Suites start at $575 a night.

Can You Guess The Sweet Suite with the Killer View?

Over at HotelChatter, we like to play a little guessing game called Guess the Hotel where we post pictures of hotel rooms, list a few easy to medium hints and then ask readers to drop their guesses in comments below.

Since Vegas is so much more than hotel rooms, we'll have to come up with a cleverly named guessing game of our own. But for now, see if you can guess which Sweet Suite this is:

· This suite is located in a separate wing from the main hotel and has its own entrance.
· The suite has one bedroom and one and a half baths.
· The place is brand-spanking new.

Ok, we hope we didn't give it all away with that last hint but if you think you know the answer, drop your guess in comments below. Extra scratch n' sniff stickers go to the person who can give the full name of the suite.

PH Towers Now Open to Guests With Rooms Starting at $149 a Night

As if last week's CityCenter opening wasn't enough opening excitement for Las Vegas, the new towers from Planet Hollywood, called PH Towers, have just opened today.

The all-suite tower was created as a timeshares building but it is open to regular "transient" guests. When we looked at the reservations system, rooms were sold out pretty much until next year. Which is not very far away. Heh.

Most weekends require a two night stay but during the week, you can pretty much stay whenever and however long you want.

Rates for a one bedroom suite with a king bed, a full kitchen, a drop-down projector screen and a view of the pool starts at $179 a night. Not bad! A studio suite is even cheaper at $149 a night and it still has a kitchenette.

How Sweet is This Suite Offer From Caesars Palace?

Earlier today on Twitter we saw that Caesars Palace was offering suites for 50 percent off using the code 50Suite. That seems like a hefty discount so we decided to see just how much these rooms would now cost us.

Right off the bat, we were skeptical about a weekend stay so looked at weekdays first (ugh, we know). We found rates mid-week from December 14-16 for a remodeled Forum Tower Royal Suite for $195 a night. These rooms come with separate living room areas, oversized spa bathtubs, new amenities like LCD flat-screen TVs (one embedded in the bathroom mirror) and Gilchrist and Soames toiletries. Meanwhile, regular rooms in the old Roman Tower are going for $90 a night.

And to our surprise, we also found weekend rates available for Dec. 18-20 for only $200 a night.

On the other hand, an offer came in the mail from Wynn's Casino Marketing that offered us a $99 stay at Wynn with a complimentary upgrade, if available, to Encore. This was for weekdays but the weekends start at $169. Both offers include a $75 resort credit. Not a gambling credit, resort credit.

It's hard to choose between the two. The space of the Forum Tower Royal Suite is sounding mighty tempting but $75 to spend at Wynn/Encore? Which one would you choose?

What You Find Inside The Barbie Suite at The Palms May Surprise You

We were totally a Barbie girl (in a Barbie world) growing up. We had the corvette, countless Kens, the pleather carrying case and a wardrobe that would make Paris Hilton’s pretty little blonde head spin.

So, while we think all the themed suites at Palms are swell (especially if you have gobs of money to spend), we’re especially tickled by the Barbie Suite. Kinda like a real life Malibu Dream House, the spacious, 2,350 sq. ft. suite was designed by Top Design judge and fifty percent of the design world’s most famous gay twosome, Jonathan Adler.

Once you get over the initial shock of Pepto Bismol pink in all its estrogen-fueled hues, the über-girlie accents are pretty cute and clever. We giggled like a school girl at the sight of the lace-up corseted “dress” chairs, the shoe patterned wallpaper, and oh yes, the kitschy sunburst mirror made from 65 reproduction 1959 Barbie dolls.

Where the Toilet Seats Rise To Greet You

We all know that the high roller suites in Las Vegas are all about ridiculous luxury. These suites--in reality, full fledged apartments--are often filled with things you would never use, not even during your time there. Although, the stripper pole in the G-suite shower at The Palms could conceivably get some good use.

But over at The Palazzo, there's something that we find highly practical inside the hotel's three and four-bedroom Chairman's Suites.

The Robb Report's newest issue has a detailed Vegas section and a piece that profiles some of the luxest suites on The Strip. This is where we learned that inside the Chairman's suites, the toilet seats in the master bathrooms rise up when you enter the room.

Genius!
