The new leadership at the Palms wants to give back to the community through a new grant-giving program.
The San Manuel Gaming and Hospitality Authority awarded 30 Southern Nevada nonprofits with a total of $1.2 million in grants on Thursday, as part of its new Palms Cares community outreach program. Grants ranging from $5,000 to $250,000 were given to various organizations including Opportunity Village, Green Our Planet and Culinary Academy of Las Vegas.
Latisha Casas, chairwoman of the Gaming and Hospitality Authority, said giving has been prioritized for the organization even before it purchased the off-Strip resort in late 2021, becoming the first site fully-owned and operated by a Native American tribe.
