The expansive view from the Palms’ Sky Villa suite on the 32nd floor shows off many of the things Cynthia Kiser Murphey is excited about.

Looking out from one of the windows, the casino-resort’s general manager points out the short shuttle ride to Allegiant Stadium, available to loyalty club members going to home football games. From another window, she notes the recently reopened rooftop bar, Ghostbar, and the new energy brought by its live music schedule.

Amenities and regional events are all part of putting the Palms back on the Las Vegas scene after going dark in March 2020. Kiser Murphey said reactivating the dormant site was not easy.
