A new fork in the road is just ahead. No, that&rsquo;s not a clue about who the buyer is, it&rsquo;s just a lame analogy. Or possibly metaphor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Palms never reopened after Las Vegas casinos were shut down on March 18, 2020 due to the COVID-19 crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Palms was in trouble even prior to the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>The resort&rsquo;s owner, Red Rock Resorts (Station Casinos), sunk an ungodly amount of money into a renovation ($690 million), then its Kaos nightclub and dayclub imploded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/kaos-dayclub-and-nightclub-closes-at-palms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">right before our eyes<\/a>, resulting in millions in losses.<\/p>\n<p>Palms was purchased for $312.5 million in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Mid-2020, Red Rock Resorts CEO Frank Fertitta <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdcgamingreports.com\/red-rock-resorts-ceo-rumored-sale-of-the-palms-in-las-vegas-is-not-correct\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">went public<\/a> in an attempt to &ldquo;squash&rdquo; our rumors about Palms being for sale. We don&rsquo;t squash easily, so we responded as we occasionally do.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27489\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27489\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-27489 size-full\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;\" src=\"\/vitalvegas\/dist\/images\/common\/transparent_3x2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/palms_horseshit_tweet.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-27489\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">All due respect.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Finally, an official announcement of the sale of Palms resort is close at hand.<\/p>\n<p>No financial details of the sale are available yet, but we&rsquo;d expect the sale price to be between $800-900 million. Red Rock Resorts was motivated to relinquish Palms, but it&rsquo;s not a fire sale.<\/p>\n<p>The new owner will reap the benefits of all the Palms improvements, without the burden of misguided decisions about nightlife and restaurants. We trust you weren&rsquo;t emotionally attached to places like Bobby Flay&rsquo;s Shark restaurant, as those partnerships aren&rsquo;t likely to survive the transition.<\/p>\n<p>Still, under new ownership and management, Palms&rsquo; best days could still be ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Our usual disclaimer applies: This is an unconfirmed rumor. Things change and not all rumors pan out. Often, they do.<\/p>\n<p>More news soon!<\/p>\n<p>Update (5\/4\/21): The sale of Palms to San Manuel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/palms-casino-sold-to-san-manuel-band-of-mission-indians\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">has been confirmed<\/a>.
