Unknown is a captivating bar located within the Palms Casino, renowned for its striking design and unique centerpiece. Conceptualized by the renowned artist Damien Hirst, the bar's aesthetic is a harmonious blend of art and functionality.
The focal point of the space is the impressive "The Unknown (Explored, Explained, Exploded)" sculpture, a preserved shark suspended in fluid above the oval-shaped bar. Complementing this eye-catching feature are Hirst's vibrant spot paintings, creating an immersive art gallery-like ambiance.
Visitors are drawn to the bar's alluring atmosphere, with its use of white and colorful dots evoking a sense of sophistication. The bartenders are skilled at crafting delightful cocktails, such as the floral and fun "Catch 22," ensuring a memorable drinking experience.
While the bar does not offer food, it serves as an excellent pre-dinner or pre-show destination, allowing guests to sip on expertly mixed drinks while enjoying the captivating art installations. The only potential downside is the occasional slow service due to the bar's popularity, but the overall experience more than makes up for this minor inconvenience.
