The ultra-chic Palms Hotel and Casino is home to the trendy ghostbar, one of the hippest lounges in town. The ghostbar is located on the 55th floor at the Palms, and there’s usually a crowd waiting to get in. To understand this spectacular space, it helps to know how it got its name. A 30-foot long backlit ghost shape in the ceiling over the bar changes colors as the DJ spins tunes.
This Las Vegas hotspot seems to float in the air above Las Vegas like a glittering apparition. The space offers 8,000 square feet of both indoor and outdoor areas to hang out, lounge, and meet people. The indoor space is decorated in cool grays, greens, silver, and white. Fourteen-foot high floor-to-ceiling glass walls offer spectacular views of the city. The furniture is sexy and sleek but comfortable enough to sink back in. Several private areas of the ghostbar offer quiet and intimate areas, and the VIP ticket holder area is the ultimate in luxury and privacy. Unlike some nightclubs where seating is at a premium, ghostbar offers its patrons plenty of places to sit and linger. Luxurious couches, tables, and chaise lounges make it comfortable to linger for hours.
The outdoor area of ghostbar puts this lounge and nightclub into a class by itself. The dramatic sky deck provides close to 360 degree views of the exciting Las Vegas strip and night scene. The outdoor area of ghostbar protrudes from the building into the night air, but that’s only the beginning. Perhaps the most amazing aspect of the ghostbar is the glass inset in the floor. Look down at your feet and you are looking straight down at the city below. It’s as if you are hovering above the entire city.
The ghostbar offers several specialty cocktails along with traditional favorites. The signature ghostini is not to be missed and includes a mix of Absolut vodka, Midori Melon Liqueur, and a splash of sour. There’s an extensive wine list that includes a fabulous selection of champagne.
Just getting into the ghostbar is an event. Guests enter through the Palms Hotel and Casino and pay the cover charge at the door. They then take an elevator to the top floor of the Palms tower. They must past through security before they enter the lounge area.
Once you’ve entered the ghostbar, you’ll find plenty of opportunities for socializing in this posh environment. You may also spot a celebrity or two. The Palms is a mecca not only for the beautiful people of Las Vegas, but for the hottest Hollywood celebrities as well.
Ghostbar is not a nightclub thumping with generic techno music on a crowded dance floor. There’s no dancing at the ghostbar, but he talented DJs are truly masters of the mixing board, spinning the most unique and freshest music available.
If you want to see what modern Las Vegas is all about and where the hippest people go to chill, you need to experience one of Las Vegas’ hottest haunts, the ghostbar.
