Palms SportsbookĪ sportsbook that was once tiny, smoky, and pathetic is now totally remodeled, smoke-free, and one of the nicest sportsbooks in town. And given its recent sportsbook renovations, it tailors well to locals too. Due to the Palms’ commitment to nightlife, it’s one of the most popular off strip locations for tourists. The Maloof brothers were its original owners, but they have recently sold the Palms to Station Casinos. A relatively new addition to Las Vegas, the Palms opened in 2001 and is located just over one mile west of the strip.
