Since it opened, I’ve somehow managed to not go to a show at The Pearl, the live concert venue at The Palms.

The Maloofs know how to work it. One of biggest features of the recently expanded Palms Hotel and Casino is their live music venue they are calling “The Pearl.” Not a reference to the mysterious hatch in Lost, The Pearl is said to be – nay, hyped to be – one of the best places to experience live performances of music anywhere… ever.

From the photographs, The Pearl definitely looks like a great venue with some very unique, very special features.
