The Playboy Club at the Palms 'Just Smells of Money'

Where: 4321 West Flamingo Road [map], Las Vegas, nv, United States, 89103

Palms Casino Hotel in Las Vegas. Playboy Club. Hugh Hefner. Bunnies.

There's not much more you need to know, except that the Playboy Club has officially opened on the 52nd floor of the new Palms Fantasy Tower.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal peeked into this "Legend Reborn" place just before the opening and found:

A mix of flash and flesh, the club boasts a bar backed by 10,000 diamond-shaped crystals and bathrooms featuring walls lined with every Playboy centerfold in the magazine's history....A bit darker and more subdued are a pair of VIP rooms, appointed with mirrored walls and a pair of vintage Playboy pinball machines. Overstuffed zebra hide armchairs and snakeskin couches buttress a large, golden fireplace. Tiles around the bar are covered in maroon crocodile skin.

There's also a lounge, and a gaming rooms staffed with dealers dressed as Playboy bunnies of course. In fact, everything is all Playboy, all the time from the Playboy logo buttons on the sofas to the 60 plasma screens featuring videos of Hugh Hefner partying with Bunnies over the years.

Like the Playboy Mansion, the club will be pretty exclusive as the co-owner/operator of the club, Chris Morton (who is the co-owner of the N9NE Group and Ghostbar fame) says:

We didn't want another 30,000-foot Rain. The town's got enough of those right now. The emphasis was on being smaller, more intimate, more exclusive.

Morton is also the man behind this gem in describing the club's decor: "It just smells of money." And that's exactly what it will take to you get you in there and score a bunny for yourself.
