| - Considering it is Planet Hollywood, I wasn't expecting much. The mister and I went with my sister this weekend on a Sin City excursion. Surprisingly, I haven't been to Vegas in over 4 years. I couldn't get over how much more stuff they packed on the strip. Crazy!
As we went in search of hotel registration, I immediately noticed that the patrons of this hotel were on the younger side, late twenties and early thirties. It reminded me a lot of the Hard Rock Hotel since they played a lot of cool songs overhead. They even had a section in the casino called the Pleasure Pit that had Go-Go dancers entertaining the gamblers and young, cute female dealers in go-go looking outfits working the tables. Only in Vegas.
We finally found the hotel registration, it was downstairs from the casino. It was past midnight and there were about 5 people ahead of us. It took about 30 minutes to get to the desk...checking in shouldn't take that long. In fact, when it was our turn, it only took about 5 minutes to register and get our keys...not sure if the other staff were slow or the people ahead of us were just clueless? The lady at registration mentioned the free bottle of alcohol and I thought it would be one of those small ones you get on a plane...nope, it was a regular sized bottle of alcohol, my sister picked the rum. Nice!
We get to the room and I was expecting an average room, like the ones in New York, New York, but this room was pretty big and it had two sinks on opposite sides! For girls, that is a huge plus. The bathroom was actually bigger than some hotel rooms in Europe! There was a flat screen t.v. and the main sleep area was plenty spacious. They had decor from Oscar, so there were pics of Sly Stallone. I wished we could've had a Die Hard room, I used to love Bruce Willis. As the previous reviewer mentioned, the only downside is the lighting in the room. At night, it is really dark even with all the lights on. There was only a small reading lamp on the desk, 1 lamp on the side table that was in the middle of the two beds and the lamp next to the armchairs. Even the hallway light was very, very dim. Also, they really need to have luggage racks and they should have used frosted shower doors. I did like they provided complimentary bottles of water.
The location of PH is awesome, it's right in the heart of the strip, so you can walk to many of the other casinos from this location. Although they pretty much kept the structure of the Aladdin shopping area (some parts still have an Arabian architecture), they improved the layout so you can easily get to the casino from the strip. They have cool stores, eateries, clubs, and a show (Peepshow)...What else could you ask for? Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino was better than I expected. I would definitely be a repeat customer.
