| - One of the best places to stay in Vegas!
I always hit up PH whenever I'm in Vegas - the mall has stores within my price range and a Fat Tuesdays. The casino has a young hip vibe but not douchey, and of course, EARL OF SANDWICH. However, this is my first time staying here.
Upon checking in, I like to do the '20 Dollar Trick' when I check into Vegas hotels. Sandwich a $20 between your ID and credit card and the front desk staff will upgrade you to a better room. Don't do this because it never works contrary to all the success stories I've read online. All you gotta do is ask politely. The lady hooked it up a strip view room since we originally booked a mountain view room. It was a great view of NYNY, City Center, and the Bellagio Fountains.
The room was pretty nice. We got the Dragnet room (movie starring Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks) so there was memorabilia everywhere in the room. We had some issues with the plumbing and there were nicks and stretches on the desks and closets, but that's nothing too big to cry about.
We got the room right off the elevator so you can hear the elevators through the walls, but if you're a deep sleeper it's not a problem. The pool is pretty okay. On weekends, they turn it into a Wet Republic/Rehab place, but on weekdays it's a regular ol pool.
With their location right in the middle of the strip, PH is definitely a place to consider when staying in Vegas.
Sincerely,
The Duke of Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino
