About Palms Place
Palms Place, a condo hotel of 47 stories, stands in Paradise, Nevada, close to the Las Vegas Strip. It is at the west end of the Palms resort's property and is linked to the main resort by a moving walkway called the SkyTube. The Los Angeles-based Jerde Partnership designed it. George Maloof announced the tower on March 2, 2005, within a Palms resort expansion worth $600 million. It was planned with 599 condo hotel units and meant to take advantage of a condominium boom in Las Vegas.
Ground was broken on May 5, 2006, and August 10, 2007 saw the tower topped off. It was first expected to cost $300 million, and rising construction costs pushed the budget to $350 million. Wells Fargo financed it, and M.J. Dean served as general contractor. A grand opening event took place on May 31, 2008. The building opened in 2008 as the Great Recession was under way, and weak economic conditions made it hard for some buyers to complete their unit purchases.
The residential units include studios of 56 m2 (600 square feet), one-bedroom suites of 110 m2 (1,200 square feet), and penthouses of 190 to 650 m2 (2,000 to 7,000 square feet). The 21 penthouses occupy the top four floors. The Drift Spa, a pool and spa of 4,600 m2 (50,000 square feet), covers two floors, with a fitness center among its features and a Turkish bath described as the first in Las Vegas.
How it prints
Make this print opens the generator on a 600 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.

- Stacked balcony lines
- Many thin horizontal balcony lines run up the tower. A bigger print size keeps more of them, and layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep them crisp.
- Rooftop fins on a tall tower
- Thin fins stand on the roof of a tall, slim tower. Print friendly adapts these thin parts to the print scale; Full detail keeps them, which suits a larger print. Printing slowly helps tall parts.
- One piece with the ground
- Palms Place is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. Palms Place takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
