| - Stayed at Platinum May of 2008.
Platinum is a very chic property. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but once you get inside, it definitely has a classy feeling. There's a little bar/lounge to your left as soon as you get in. My buddies and I dropped our luggage off at the bell hop and walked the strip and returned about an hour later.
The front desk was pretty friendly, but nothing out the ordinary or especially exceptional about their service. We get up to our room and it's absolutely immaculate completely furnished like a stylish condo. Full kitchen, fridge, living area with a couch, flat screen TV. Our beds were in a separate bedroom and the room and the bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom was just huge, with a GIGANTIC hot tub in the room along with a nice shower separate from it. There were robes ready in the closets. I got the hot tub ready and soaked in for a bit of time and relaxed... I threw on my robe and felt like a million bucks. I felt like a penny went I took it off and realized there was a dead bug on it.
The property has a restaurant on one of the floors, right next to the swimming pool area. The service at the restaurant was pretty awful.. I think they were short staffed because the person who appeared to be the manager was running around with his head chopped off. It took forever to get our food, but it tasted decent. (Go elsewhere on the strip for a more satisfying breakfast experience).
The swimming pool at the property is pretty nice, but it's small. But it wasn't a big deal because I realize it would only be occupied by the hotel guests. Half of the pool was indoors which was pretty cool. Aside from the indoor spot, there wasn't enough shade in the outdoor portion. The bar at the swimming pool had nightclub drink prices... Rip off.. Just buy a few bottles of liquor and mixers, throw them in the fridge, and make your own drinks.
The other thing one of my friends took advantage of was the Massage Therapy. You don't have to leave the property to be pampered. It seems they have all the things you need at this hotel, which seems to be convenient. I'm guessing my buddy enjoyed it because he went 2 or 3 times within one trip (He said the massage therapists were very attractive). But don't expect a happy ending here ;)
Overall Platinum was very nice. Very clean, very quiet, and the rooms are large and beautiful. The thing I didn't like much was the location on the strip and it gets real boring. I think it would be good for a couple to get away and stay in, but for a group of party goers, it's a little too tame for Vegas. I've always enjoyed staying at casino properties because you can just take the elevator down and get a drink, gamble or hit a 24 hour coffee shop. You can't do that in Platinum. If you don't mind long walks to get anywhere, you might be fine, but I found myself taking cabs like crazy from this property.
If you're looking for a more tame, intimate or relaxing experience, I would recommend Platinum, but if you're looking to party and be near a party at all times, I would recommend a hotel property in a casino.
