The Palms has announced Ghostbar will reopen on August 3. The 55th-floor nightclub originally arrived in 2001 when the resort was opened by the Maloof family. The venue was refashioned into Apex Social Club during Station Casinos’ brief tenure as owner and operator of the Palms, and new owners the San Manuel Gaming and Hospitality Authority announced it would resurrect the Ghostbar concept in January. “Unlike other nightspots in Las Vegas, Ghostbar’s DNA will be based on a concept that is exclusively inclusive,” reads the statement released today. “No private rooms here, instead pop-up performances will surprise and delight guests, DJs will ramp up the party as the night gathers momentum and Las Vegas’ own Midnight Skye [singer Skye Dee Miles] will bring the rebirth of cool to Las Vegas. … With a music theme rooted in soul, expect Ghostbar to deliver the funkiest good time in Las Vegas.”
