As part of the festivities, photographs of these original team members will be featured on the resort's iconic Tall Wall. A special employee celebration on November 13 will recognize their dedication and contributions to the Palms story.

"Having been part of the original opening team myself, this anniversary is especially meaningful. Palms has always been a special place, but it's the people who have made it what it is. To celebrate 25 years alongside so many team members who were here from the beginning is truly something special. We're proud of our history, grateful to our loyal guests and excited about what's ahead."
