Palms was pretty hot for a while there in the early 2000s, the same way the Hard Rock was pretty hot before it. Then both cooled, and the Hard Rock is in the process of being converted to a Branson "Virgin" casino


The Palms beyond cooled. Got to the point where the crowd there was sketchy, and no one respectable gambled there. They took out their high limit pit. This all happened during the fifteen years or so that I quit gambling, so I didn't really care or keep track of the Palms' status. During that period we went to Vegas still frequently but only as a tourist and not to play a nickel.


Now that I started playing again last year, a friend of mine who went to the private opening of Palms' new club Kaos, said that the place seems to be really happening again. I read that Station Casinos put $620M into the place. (By way of comparison, Branson is putting $150M into the Hard Rock Vegas.)


Long story short I got hold of a host at Palms and opened a line there. It's not a small line, but it's not a whale level line either. This line would be too big for the, say, Palace Station, but my new Palms host says that Palms is ready once again for real action. Before I applied for the line she stated that they have the midi-Bacc tables where may touch the cards. Has anyone actually played there recently? How many midi-Bacc tables do they have?


She also assured that they have 3:2 BJ. Anyone know how many decks, what the rules are, so we may calculate the house advantage? Anyone gamble at the "new" Palms yet?
