Palms Casino Resort celebrates 25 years of Las Vegas memories
12 November 2026(PRESS RELEASE) -- Twenty-five years of unforgettable moments, legendary entertainment and countless Vegas memories. Palms Casino Resort celebrates its 25th anniversary on Sunday, November 15, marking a quarter-century since first opening its doors in 2001 with a weekend dedicated to the team members and guests who have helped shape its story.
At the heart of the celebration is a special tribute to nearly 70 original “Day One” team members who were part of the Palms family when the resort first opened in 2001. Their photographs will be showcased on the property's Tall Wall, with a team member celebration on Friday, November 13, recognizing their contributions to the resort's 25-year history.
“Having been at the property as it was opening, this anniversary is especially meaningful,” said Kevin Glass, General Manager of Palms Casino Resort. “Palms has always been a special place, but it's the people who have made it what it is. To celebrate 25 years alongside so many team members who were here from the beginning is truly something special. We're proud of our history, grateful to our loyal guests and excited about what's ahead.”
Since its November 15, 2001 debut, Palms has earned a reputation for doing Las Vegas a little differently. From its early days as the setting for MTV's The Real World and hosting the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards to iconic nightlife at Ghostbar and one-of-a-kind accommodations like the Hardwood Suite, Palms has helped create its own chapter in Las Vegas entertainment history. The resort entered another historic era in 2022, becoming the first Las Vegas casino resort fully owned and operated by a Native American tribe.
Guests and locals can also join the anniversary celebration with a special $25 dinner at A.Y.C.E. Buffet on Sunday, November 15, from 5–9 p.m. The offer is available to invited Club Serrano members and qualifying new members who enroll that day (eligible guests must obtain their promotional voucher at a casino marketing kiosk). On Saturday, November 14, eligible Club Serrano members can also receive a limited-edition 25th anniversary commemorative T-shirt, while supplies last.
