Palms Casino Resort, the famous upscale resort set across three towers just under a mile from the Las Vegas Strip, is set to reopen this spring, according to recent coverage in the Las Vegas Review-Journal. News broke in Eater Las Vegas last May that Station Casinos had sold the Palms to the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians for $650 million, making it the first Native American owned and operated Las Vegas casino resort.
The casino tweeted on Tuesday that the legendary Las Vegas rooftop bar Ghostbar would reopen along with the casino resort sometime this spring.
Ghostbar opened in 2001 and was immediately catapulted into fame when it appeared in MTV’s reality show The Real World. It was named Lounge of the Year the 2014 Nightlife and Bar Awards.
No set opening date has been announced, but, according to a representative of the Palms, recruitment has begun for more than 1,000 positions at the casino, which also includes a hotel with more than 700 rooms and suites. Room reservations will be available early this year.
“It’s such an honor to reach this milestone. As we forge ahead, it’s important we bring forward the strong values and culture of the Tribe into everything we do at the property,” said Cynthia Kiser Murphey, General Manager of Palms. “From team member culture to exceptional guest service, it’s our intent to create a lively and fun environment not only for customers but our dedicated staff as well.”
What Now Las Vegas reached out to Rikki Tanenbaum, Chief Operating Officer for the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians on Thursday. Tanenbaum declined to comment on the news.
