Low Roller Visit Aug 2026
I bought my plane tickets from Southwest in late March, and I noticed now in early May that my fare dropped from $330 round trip San Jose to Vegas to $256 (I got a fare credit). I wish I had checked the fare on the Friday before Spirit airlines shut down—I wonder if it was even less.
Tracking rental cars: Hertz had a $505 rate (prepaid) for a five-day medium SUV, and that's gone down to $476.
I booked five nights at a one-bedroom panoramic view suite at Palms Place for $1350 ($270/night). That rate is still the same.
After all these years, I've never stepped foot in The Palms, so I'm excited to see what I've been missing. They've had some good influencer videos about how they've been the top-rated casino hotel in Las Vegas the past two years, so I'm curious if that checks out!

I think most low and medium rollers like the Palms casino.
