PALMS CASINO LAS VEGAS HAPPY HOURS

Palms used to be the place to party with celebrities and high rollers. It had the kind of energy that made it the off-Strip property everyone talked about. That era has faded. Even after a $700 million renovation and new tribal ownership, the dining and bar scene hasn’t bounced back the way the rooms and casino floor have. There’s exactly one verified happy hour left, down from four or five just a few years ago. The good news: it’s Scotch 80 Prime, and it’s genuinely excellent. A proper steakhouse happy hour that holds its own against anything in the city. Palms isn’t the destination it once was, but it’s an easy walk to the Rio, which has been quietly building its own happy hour comeback.
