| - I stayed at Planet Hollywood on my first trip to Las Vegas. Being a Vegas virgin is overwhelming when you consider the options for your hotel stay alone... Planet Hollywood ended up being the perfect fit.
Check in was super easy and the bell people were very friendly. The rooms are huge, clean, and perfect for groups/friends because the toilet is separate from the huge soaking tub and shower (meaning many gals can get ready at once). Although there are some remnants of Aladdin (carpet and lighting), the former hotel, it is very modern. To my pleasure, it is also not tacky! The prices were really affordable, and a good deal considering the room we got.
The crowd seemed generally younger at PH and the casino was much quieter than others on the strip. To me, this is a good thing! It means you can get a seat at any table you want and walk around without being clobbered by a ride on scooter or fanny pack. Like others, I enjoyed the trendy music and lack of a theme!!!
The restaurants and shops in the Miracle Mile are conveniently attached to the hotel. Not to mention, PH is right on the strip. At check in we got a bunch of coupons for the Spice Market buffet, which made eating there a pretty good deal. The major downfall for me was the pool area. Both pools are tiny and surrounded by a huge concrete desert. Great for tanning, not so great for cooling off!
