Maloof made the Palms--whose casino floor is full of the older locals who played in his previous hotel--into a hipster draw by housing the 2002 MTV's Real World inside a suite in the hotel, a risky move the rest of Vegas thought was suicide (having cameras inside a hotel was believed to be like asking the gaming commission to shut you down).

Maloof made the Palms a hipster draw by housing the 2002 edition of MTV's Real World in the hotel, a move the rest of Vegas thought was suicide (having cameras inside a hotel was believed to be like asking the gaming commission to shut you down).
