13. The Palms, Las Vegas: Where The Strip’s Wildest Parties Happen
No trip built around nightlife is complete without a stop at this Strip fixture, long known for the kind of penthouse parties that become legend. In 2021, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians bought the property for $650 million, making it the first hotel on the Strip owned by a Native American tribe.
The themed suites are the real draw, especially the 8,500 square foot Sky Villa, which packs in a private pool, a massage room, a gym, a 17 seat bar, and its own entertainment lounge. Sports fans might prefer the Hardwood Suite instead, complete with a basketball court, a whiskey room, and 11 televisions scattered throughout.
