According to the Palms website, the reopening is scheduled for Wednesday, April 27th with guest stays beginning the following day.

The property will be opening under new ownership, as Red Rock Resorts sold the 703-room Palms to the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians in a $650 million cash deal in 2021. It will be the first Native-American-owned casino in Las Vegas.

The Palms closed, along with every other casino in Nevada, in March of 2020 and is one of a handful of properties that remains closed.

Prior to closing in March 2020, the Palms employed around 1,200 people. Over the past two months, the resort has held job fairs to hire employees for the reopening.

The Palms will celebrate the opening with a fireworks show on opening night.
