To me this place is very classy I just think the setup is awkward. Hardly any room to dance. Music comes in a wide variety. They also have a great view and a much bigger patio (compared to Moon) area with lots of great outdoor seating.
There is hardly ever anyone dancing here, good thing is it doesn't get too crowded.
This place was simply interesting. It is half indoors and half outdoors. It is a bar but people dance as if they are at a club. The outside part is on top of the Palm's hotel - and you get a very flashy view of the strip. there is a section on the balcony that has a acrylic flooring - and you get to see 50 some odd floors down the building. but becaureful because when things get a little crazy, drinks get spilled and the floor gets slippery and you might slip and fall.Yes, we witnessed someone fall...ungracefully.
drinks are pricy but it's vegas.
it is a cool place to hang out...
On Saturday we went to Moon and from their roof top Ghost Bar looked popping (We had bottle service so we were waiting to take a few shot before heading over) Went we headed over little before 2 they said they were closing
(I thought they were suppose to stay open til 4)
So we went on Sunday. Ghost Town!! Barely anybody was there. And nobody was dancing. :(
We had a few drinks hoping it would pick up with no luck.
Since we were staying at Palms Place we didnt have to pay a cover, which was the only up. Beside the amazing few. :p
My fav lounge in Las Vegas! My group of friends wanted a chill place and it was around 1am. The guy said we can go to the promotor Booth and we got in for free. There was no line and the staff were nice! Drinks ranged around 9$-12$ and were decent. I loved that the place was not super crowded, had pretty good music (hip hop, top 40) and it was not super loud. You could actually talk to someone. I loved that there is an inside and outside. The view was so pretty! I would come back!
Review Source:Loved this place! Â We were on Ashley's guest list and got right upstairs after dinner at Heraea. Â He also got us wristbands for 2 free drinks each. Â They were only for Bacardi products.. which were ok. Â But they were free.. so who cares! Â The bartenders were kind of rude about it.. but whatever. Â Anyways..
The view is gorgeous. Â Seeing all the lights on the Strip was so beautiful. Â Looking down the glass floor into the pool was a little scary, but a cool experience.
They had good music and weren't wicked overcrowded like other places. Â There wasn't really a dance floor but tons of space to dance wherever I guess haha. Â
We smoked hookah at a table and got great service from the hookah guy. Â We had an awesome time here.
Only go if you can get in free! We got on the list from a promoter which was no cover fee and free drinks. Well we got in no problem. Once in we ordered 2 drinks then told us we had to pay, he said he didn't know anything about promoters or free drinks. So we were forced to pay the ridiculous price for our drinks. The best place is outside, wow what a view. It was worth going just for that. And the glass floor that so talk about it a little spot in the corner that faces towards The Palms sign. There really is no point in it being there. On top of that its not a club. There was no dance area because all they have is sitting areas for bottle service. I don't if we when on a bad night but there was nobody under the age of 25. Felt very uncomfortable, not a good vibe at all.
Review Source:Hrmm. So upon arriving ropes were move to let us through the security seemed friendly.
We were told that before 11pm both men and women were free. We arrived at 1050 we used the name of our promoter then hot sent over to the Heraea front desk by the girl working and were told to check in using our promoters name there. When we arrived to the desk a few feet over at Heraea no one was there. Confused we headed over to two hotel employees and were told they shouldn't have sent us there. They walked us back over to the front desk at Ghost Bar where we were then told that now we had to pay a $20 cover since it was 11pm. Hmm. We arrived before 11 they sent us away now it's 11 and we have to pay? Then the excuse was its my 9th day here from the front desk girl. We didn't care about paying the cover but if we were there before 11 don't cheat us.
if we werent on the list, i wouldnt have gone. being on the list got us front of the line privelages, the girls got wristbands for two free drinks (more on that in a minute) and there was no cover for the girls either, with discount cover for the men.
that being said, i wouldnt wait in line for this bar. its small, crowded, and the drinks are insanely overpriced. the view of the strip is amazing, ill give them that, but thats the only positive that we found. the "two free drinks" consisted of 3 choices "would you like bacardi blueberry, bacardi wildberry, or bacardi pineapple". oh, so i get to have bacardi? sweet. thanks, i guess. beers were over 9 dollars, which is a little insane.
overall i wasnt impresed. we went to say "hey, we went to ghostbar!" but we wouldnt go again.
Disappointed....not in the establishment as much as the crowd. Classless and disgusting. Â Went on a Sunday night. Â No cover with room key. Â Sure the view was great and music was pretty good and small glass floor was kind of cool. Â But there was a transvestite prostitute trying to pick up every guy in the bar, a girl with her skirt pulled up almost having sex with a guy on the railing, and older creepy man who we caught trying to slip something into our drinks. Â The bouncers did handle that situation accordingly, by escorting him out, getting reports from us and not kicking our men out for wanting to attack the man. Â I'm sure this place was nice in it's day but now there are so many other nightclubs on the strip with awesome views, nicer atmosphere, and better clientele. Â Don't waste your money...and if you do, be careful.
Review Source:We got access here as part of a travel zoo deal with the Simon restaurant at the Palms. It's a very nice bar with an excellent view of the city, however, almost every table inside was already reserved by 9pm. There is a sign that states that formal nightclub attire is required, but they still let in a bunch of tourists wearing shorts, jeans, gym shoes, and t shirts which kind of stunk because we worked hard to look nice and they just let these folks right in. The bartenders weren't that nice and seemd stuck up an elitist. Either way though, it's worth it to go and check out the view from the walk out balcony.
Review Source:This is why I liked Ghostbar, and why I would go back:
Bouncers, bartenders, and overall staff was friendly
The place was clean
Tolerable club music
Beautiful view
It was not over crowded
It did not smell bad
The music was not so loud that my ears wanted to explode
No cover for hotel guests
Air conditioning
This is what I deducted a star:
We had purchased a Travel Zoo coupon which included dinner to Simon, and VIP to either Ghostbar or the other club at the Palms. The person at the front of Ghostbar told us that if we chose to use our VIP bracelets, then we would get two free drinks. When we went up to the bar, the bartender told us that we did not get free drinks. It did not ruin my night, but if we knew we weren't going to get any perks from the VIP bracelets, we would have used them at another place.
This place is having an identity crisis. Are you a lounge or a club?
This place is SMALL! I had been here before a few years ago and this place has definitely fallen off from its former glory. We came on a Friday night as our starting spot and there was NO line, I repeat, NO line. Last time I had been here the line was probably an hour long. We get in and it's dead as we expected. The only thing saving this place is the AMAZING view. The patio area is worth coming here by itself. If you're more of a lounge person I'd come to Ghostbar. If you want the same view as Ghostbar but in a club setting I'd definitely go to Moon instead.
Review Source:I wouldn't wait in line very long for this club/lounge, despite the beautiful view. Luckily, I was at the Palms for a conference that offered attendees VIP passes, allowing us to skip lines and cover charges.
Seems like Ghostbar has an identity crisis, are you a high-energy club or a chill lounge?
Club?
Music was loud, typical Top 40 with some 90s mixed in on a Saturday night.
Lounge?
The intimate environment is ideal for mingling; seems more suited to a house/trance/electro vibe.
Club?
Air of exclusivity with VIP tables; dance floor attracted some looking to bust a move.
Lounge?
The small dance floor isn't really conducive to dancing. Too quaint to have large dance parties or popular DJ events. Dancing on tables might work.
Not my favorite crowd. Its location high up in the Palms does not necessarily make it high class. However, one very tall, well-dressed gentleman offered to take many of our photos on the balcony. Thanks guy, you are a class act.
The see-through glass floor of the balcony isn't so see-through anymore. It's hazy and dirty glass.
*Awesome Staff Alert*
After frantically searching for my credit card next to the bar (and finally finding it on the ground), the bartender noticed my distress and kindly offered me a complimentary shot! He even gave one to my friend for helping me search.
Aside from the generous bartender and incredible view of Vegas lights, Ghostbar isn't very exciting to me as a dance party venue. As a chill lounge to take a break from clubbing? Possibly.
The view gets 5 stars. The atmosphere gets 2 stars. The experience is somewhere in the middle.
Maybe I'm biased because I am 22 years old and everyone else was a good ten to twenty years older than me, but my girlfriend and I felt extremely out of place. This place felt more like a cool place to hang out with your co-workers after you played a round of golf and now are about to meet up with a potential mistress while your wife struggles to get your two kids to go to bed. At least from a male's perspective.
It's probably my fault for misinterpreting this place, but the "dance floor" was virtually non-existent as people were trying way too hard to "put out the vibes." Unfortunately, their douchiness reeked all over the bar. Thus, no one was actually dancing. Plus I realized that I only enjoy music to which I can sing along, so the techno stuff wasn't really my style. But hey, different strokes for different folks right?
Luckily, we got in for free and my girlfriend got two free drinks, so that was pretty cool.
NOTE: This was on a Sunday night, so maybe not the best time to go, but still, it was decent.
The view was incredible, but unless you're into middle aged business men wearing blazers and trying to look cool, go and look at the strip and then get your ass back to the strip to enjoy some other entertainment.
This place is a little small, more like a suite that got converted into a venue. There was a rumor that it used to be Hue Hefner's suite?
We came here for GBDC, which was awesome. We had to wait outside because they were at capacity, but it wasn't too long of a wait.
There were Go Go Dancers and beer bongs. And a man in a suit with reflective glass all over it, which I've only seen in San Francisco otherwise. The crowd was mixed as it usually is, with some ghetto thugs and classy dolled up chicks. Everyone we talked with was very nice.
The view was amazing from the balcony. The drinks were pretty pricey, but that's Vegas.
They threw out some pretty good quality glow sticks in the crowd. Everyone in our party managed to snag one.
I'd be down for another Saturday day party here again, especially because it's the only non-pool party going on in Vegas on Saturdays. Plus, Snooki and Pauly-D have endorsed it, yeauuuhh buddy!
At one point, the Ghostbar was the hottest strip view venue in town. These days with the development of many amazing strip properties, the prestige of this Maloof owned venue has lost a little pep in its step, but still scores very high on the nostalgia chart.
The city of sin wasn't always good to me, but Ghostbar has been a mainstay and a good place to sip a cocktail while enjoying a killer view. It's not the only view in town, but easily one of the best. The crowd has become somewhat older over the years and has played second fiddle to other roof top bars throughout the Strip. That hasn't stopped people from packing this spot on the weekends, though I think the weekdays are their crowded nights.
Enjoy the intimate, dark decor of the interior, the pricey Vegas drinks, the usual-no-covers entrance fees, the overly pretentious service, and an undisputed awesome view that leaves an impression for any out of towner. On a good clear night with a strong cocktail or wine in hand, seeing the many bright lights of Las Vegas Blvd, leaves me saying "Viva Las Vegas" almost every time.
Cool bar both indoors and outdoors; not as big as the other clubs at the Palms, but a good place to get the night going and get awesome pictures with the skyline. Â Not much place to sit, most if not all is reserved for bottle service. Â They played good music to dance to which made the atmosphere more fun. Â We did not have to pay cover because we bought a deal off of Travelzoo that covered our dinner, entrance to Ghostbar, Moon, and the Playboy Club, and some drinks.
Review Source:I haven't been here for years...not since the economy took a tumble.
We came here on a Saturday night, prime time around midnight or so, and it was pretty quiet. Â There wasn't much going on, a few people with tables, but no one really dancing, only a handful of guests and our party. Â Since our friends were staying here and had room keys, we got in gratis. Â Glad we didn't have to pay to get in...would have felt like a waste of money on a night like this!
If you have never been here before, they have an excellent view here, out on the balcony. Â But it is so damn cold, no one actually hangs out there until it gets warmer. Â This place is a 4 star spot when it is poppin! Â But no one comes here when it is cold.
I wouldn't really waste your time here, until it gets warmer, unless you are looking for a low key drink. Â Don't expect Moon or Rain.
Ghostbar was my favorite club that we visited on our most recent trip to Las Vegas. Â The reasons why are simple:
- Good music and sound system
- Well made drinks
- Outdoor area with amazing view of the city
- Super friendly staff
We liked it so much that we went back again two nights later. Â I really could not find anything bad about Ghostbar, besides it being completely dead the second time that we went. Â Moon was open that night, so I am assuming the crowd mostly moved over there for the bigger dance floor. Â However, I prefer the vibe and ambiance at Ghostbar over Moon.
Okay so it's confession time: I've wanted to see this place since the Real World Las Vegas. I know, cliché unlike no other but it is what it is. My first time in Vegas, I HAD to experience this place. The feeling of taking that elevator and walking into the already chic bar area out to the patio gave me the most intense rush.
Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) for me, I had quite a few drinks before we made it here and I'm not normally a heel wearer. The combination resulted in me FACE PLANTING as I stepped out on to the deck. I played it cool even though I probably should have been kicked out but the bouncers were great about it. I really appreciate them not kicking me out because I enjoyed my time up there so much and got some great pictures.
Honestly, I don't remember the drink. It was a cranberry and vodka I think and the boys paid for it. All I know is it was added to the list of drinks I consumed that night and did the job. Really, I just loved the views and being there.
Oh and the bathrooms were EPIC and very clean. Nice job, Palms!
For someone like me who doesn't like nightclubs too much, this bar is a better place to have fun. Went there on both Friday and Sunday night, we didn't pay any cover since we stayed at the palms place. We walked through the sky tube, it was a long walk, a bit of more walking at the palms casino, took an elevator up to 55th floor to get to the bar.
It was really crowded on Friday night, lots of army boys, they tried so hard to hit on my gf and me, most of them were so drunk, even offered us to sit at their table, so funny. A small nightclub sized place with a large main bar inside, an outdoor patio and 2 outdoor small bars. The views outside were beautiful, just too cold to stay there long, some heaters weren't working.
The bartenders were very friendly, they made strong drinks too. Music was good for dancing, there was nowhere to sit inside on Friday night, only for table reservations, but plenty of places to sit down on Sunday night. We only stayed for an hour on both nights, and left to our suite for after parties fun.
I would come here to have a few drinks, hang out with friends if we ever stayed at the palms place again. This is a great place for relaxing low key nights.
Ps. It opens 7 days a week, nightclub door opens at 8 p.m., it also doubles as a dayclub, door opens at 1 p.m. They have DJ spinning all the time.
Been here a couple of times and the view is so awesome.
The club itself is gross- like San Jose downtown gross. I can't believe people buy tables here... I guess if you MUST fit in some hip hop into your Vegas trip this is the place to go, but you also get the same hip hop crowd. Â The view in itself is worth 3 stars though.
2.5 stars
Best thing about this place is its view!!! Cons are that is off from the strip as it is located in the Palms hotel. If you are not a guest of the hotel expect to pay to get in EVEN IF YOU ARE A GIRL!!!! Girls $20 and Guys $25. Bouncers are very friendly and helpful. Drink are over and cover are over priced. Not too busy. Smaller venue. Thanks but no thanks Ghostbar.
Ghost Bar is a wonderful break from the huge generic nightclubs that dominate Vegas. Â The entrance is orderly and you don't have to wait in line long (especially if you have a service hook you up) Â Way fewer sloppy drunks and bachelorette parties. Â The outdoor section has a great view and you can actually put your drink and purse down. Â Inside is a great atmosphere. Â The music is fun and you can dance with strangers without a lot of scheevy guidos bumping up against you.
The night we went, I ended up coat checking my heels downstairs and wore my flats inside. Â Unless you have bottle service, you're not going to get to sit down, unless you are a really hot girl or go with a really hot girl and you get invited to sit with someone.
Well I loved my time here. I was honestly disappointed that we had to leave on our party bus to another crappier club. While here this place was jamming and then some!
We arrived with a walk-in usher to get us inside (definitely you need to hook up with a service to avoid the lines!). This was massively huge for us and not only saved significant time and hassle but made for a much more pleasant experience.
We got to the top of the Palms and the doors opened and we felt the hot humid temps begin to roll over us... it was like 85 at about midnight when we rolled in. They did open the ceiling while we were in there too!!! Fun experience to watch/participate in!
PRO TIP: Cameras with detachable/exchangeable lenses are not allowed, but any attached lens camera was kewl to be taken in.
The music that had playing was a bunch of Techno and House (I love this) and the top of the palms was just thumping hard hot and heavy. The crowd swayed palpably to the grooves that were being spun out across us all.
The ratio wasnt that great (but that is usually what I notice in Vegas clubs). But definitely one of the best clubs I have been to in Vegas. The viewing deck was packed tighter than a *&^*&'s (*^*&%!! so yeah it was fun to get some air and take a pic with the skyline in the background.
I would definitely want to hit this place back up on my next trek to vegas. Dont forget the key to enjoying the bars is to pre drink =) save some scrilla and enjoy that ish! just dont plan on getting in trashed!
Been to Ghost bar a few times since 2003.
Haven't had to wait in line, walking in each time. Polite staff, drinks are exorbitantly expensive though, but rationalize it as being a Vegas nightclub.
The view of the Vegas skyline is beautiful, albeit from a smaller than you think it is skydeck. If it's crowded, good luck getting a look at The Strip view.
They have a glass portion of the floor on the sky deck that freaks people out when they realize they are standing on a piece of glass that serves as the only protection from falling 50+ floors. It makes  a good conversation starter, especially when people are inebriated.
Probably not a spot you will stay all night, but a good place to get in the Vegas mood before you head out to Tao or Pure. Expect a 30+ crowd, with 1990's hip hop. Call this more of a lounge than a true nightclub.
We came on a Monday night.
- No line. walked right in. Vcard got us in without even having to give up the ticket. Â "comp hotel guest"! nice!
- Confused group. On the way up it stopped on floor 53. had to wait a couple min for it to go up a few more floors. lol
- lovely view of the strip. great picture opportunity. wimpy chi skydeck, not really. just me. haha
- Totally Monday! you can literally count how many people were there. 33 @ 10pm. haha
- dance and hip hop. good selection of chill music. sip n converse. perfect place to unwind.
- bc it was so empty, you can sit anywhere without having to pay for a table. haha
- multiple bars. waitresses actually go up to you and serve you the drink.
- i must agree, after an hour or so, the novelty of the scenery does where off, but it's nice to delve yourself in the moment. also, you'll gain more confidence to go on top of the glass floor. lol :)
The view is absolutely breathtaking from Ghost Bar. If at the Palms for any reason whatsoever, you must make it a point to get up to the top of the hotel and enjoy a nightcap or two.
I do agree with a few other posters though, that the atmosphere does get old after a while. It's not the kind of place I would spend all night. The novelty of it does wear off, but not too quickly. It's a great place to start a night of shenanagans, or end a day of exploring.
I felt out of my era at this bar. I'm in my mid twenties and everyone here seemed to be in the their late 30s to 40s. I think if I were in that age group, I'd probably like this place, but it's just not for me. The music consists of 1990s hip hop with a couple recent hip hop tracks here and there.
The view is as advertised with a spectacular outlook of Vegas 360 degrees around, though the novelty of the view wears off pretty quickly and then it's just like any other bar/lounge.
3.5 stars
Ghost Bar wasn't everything I hoped it would be. Â My expectations were really high because I had heard so many good things about it from people. I heard it was The celebrity hang out for a while, I heard pop culture references and everyone I know who went told me it was an A+.
They kind of sell you on the rooftop, many floors up thing, but a lot of clubs/bars in Vegas have that view. Â With that said, if you're looking for something a little more chill than a Vegas club (As I was that night), this is a good choice. Â It's more loungy with a little bit of dancing (they say the no dancing sign is old lol). There's a glass part outside where you can look down but don't do it if you're afraid of heights!!
The crowd here is a little older....maybe late 20s and 30s. Â
All in all, when I put aside my ridiculously high expectations, I had a good time and I think it's a good place to chill or start the night and wander over to the other Palms clubs afterward.
I feel lied to. MTV/big brother/movies really hyped this place up. After going out to some fabulous places on the strip, i can't help but see this place as a downgrade. Not worth the cab fare. When there are tons of great vegas clubs down the strip, there's no need to travel out of your way for a mediocre spot with bad music and long lines.
Not to mention, if you want to leave, the only way out is an ELEVATOR. WTF? What if there is a fire?? What am I supposed to do? WAIT MY TURN?
Last time I was here in Las Vegas, I experienced this place. 55 FLOORS up is the tag line. Â Â It was not as cool as going to Moon of course, Â this was just a quick spot to attend and people watch for a few minutes. Â It was more entertaining than the Playboy Club. Â When I headed there, there was really not much going on that night. Â I did not see any celebrity sightings like some people said they saw Lindsay Lohan here one night. Â It is not officially a club, it is a bar. Â I did not get to check out RAIN though that night at the Palms because it was not OPEN. Â
It was still hot to check out the views of Las Vegas. Â It was still a very nice venue that got my group ready for the rest of the entertainment of the night at the nightclub, MOON.
I went to ghostbar in spring of 2011 to review an event. Â Even though the publication that I was working for at that time had set up the review in advance, they made me wait at the door for over an hour.
It was not because they were busy. Â There was *no one* in line. Â They were just being rude. Â If that's how they treat members of the media who they know are there to write a review, I can't imagine how they treat the average club-goer.
I would give it one star, but the view of the Strip is phenomenal, so I can't say that going there is a totally worthless experience. The view has nothing to do with the club itself and everything to do with the builder of the Palms, so giving it two extra stars is probably being generous.
I'm giving Ghost Bar 5 stars for a number of things, even though when I was here in January of 2012 it was literally a 'ghost' bar. LOL. That didn't bother my friend and I as we still had a good time.
1. Gorgeous view of the strip
2. Drinks were good & not too pricey
3. Being it was dead the night we were there, we were able to sit at a table without purchasing bottle service & without any problems so that was nice.
4. While sitting at our table, a very LARGE and very DRUNK man came and sat next to my friend and I. We sort of sat there and laughed it off and continued our conversation, but he then proceeded to yell some strange word in our faces, "SHATTA". We looked at each other like is this man serious, and within 10 seconds, 5 bouncers were right there ready to remove him from the club, and they did. After this whole little scene, one of the bouncers came over to us and apologized and asked us if we needed anything, which made us feel very comfortable. Thumbs up to Ghost Bar Security!
Cool place and I will most definitely visit again when I'm back here in May. Weather will be nicer so hoping it'll be more high energy.
Pros
-Lines weren't too big to get in
-Guestlist gets girls in for free with 2 vodka drinks and $15 for guys and everyone skip the big lines
-VIP tables we spacious and comfy
-Staff was friendly
-View of the strip was amazing
-Outdoor patio is on the 55th floor
-Spy On Vegas is always here taking pictures of everyone
Cons
-Club was pretty small
-DJ wasn't too great, for a vegas club I would expect a better dj, I guess we show up on the right night
I like to bring my gf and friends here mainly for the view, and its also a good place togo if your looking for a small club in vegas.
