Description
The Playboy Club at Las Vegas’ Palms Casino Resort was a bold revival of one of pop culture’s most iconic nightlife brands. Opened in 2006, it marked Playboy’s first new club in the U.S. since the original locations all closed in the 1980s. Situated on the 52nd floor of the Palms’ Fantasy Tower, the club offered sweeping views of the Las Vegas Strip and blended vintage Playboy allure with sleek, modern design. A joint venture between the Maloof family (owners of the Palms) and Playboy Enterprises, the club was part of a larger entertainment complex that included Moon Nightclub and a private elevator leading guests to the exclusive venue above. The décor was rich in black, gold, and velvet tones, accented by vintage Playboy imagery and subtle nods to the brand’s mid-century heyday. Inside, the club featured gaming tables, high-end bottle service, and a sophisticated lounge atmosphere. True to form, Playboy Bunnies served cocktails in their iconic corsets and ears, creating a nostalgic yet fresh take on the original concept. It was a favorite spot for celebrities, high-rollers, and those seeking a luxurious, adults-only Vegas experience. Despite its initial buzz and cultural cachet, the Playboy Club at the Palms closed in 2012 amid shifting nightlife trends and the expiration of the licensing agreement between Playboy and the Palms. Though short-lived, it left a lasting impression as a stylish tribute to the brand’s glamorous legacy and its connection to Las Vegas nightlife. Today, the Playboy Club at the Palms is remembered as a unique fusion of nostalgia and modern luxury that briefly rekindled the allure of the Playboy mystique on the Strip.
