I needed a room for one night, 10/11 - 10/12, 2014. I bid 100.00 4.5 star west of strip, north strip, south strip - declined. Then bid 130.00 west of strip only, hoping to get The Palms or The Rio since they are West of the and won The Palms! Enjoyed the hotel. Called to let them know I wouldn't be getting there until very late. When I got there they had no rooms available so they upgraded me to a suite on the 26th floor! Talk about WINNING!! Never had a chance to stay at The Palms so this was a great first experience.
