| - This review is for the CONCERT VENUE ONLY.
I had the luxury of being able to attend the Night Ranger/Journey concert here last week. It was my first time attending the venue since the rebuilt hotel/casino made the transition from being the Aladdin to becoming the Planet Hollywood.
I want to start by saying that this is a very fine venue. Not exactly what I would call upscale, but because of the way things are set up, even the "far back" seats aren't too bad. You should have no problem being able to actually see the show regardless of where your seats are.
What pisses me off though is that I dealt with a rude staff member. When Night Ranger finished their set, I took my LP down towards the stage hoping I could get it signed. An extremely rude woman usher (she was heavy set, older, and had curly hair) would not let me though. The band was DONE PLAYING and LEAVING THE STAGE. I asked if I could get through really quick, just to get an autograph and then go back to my stage, and she just kept yelling the word "NO." What a cunt!
If anyone in Planet Hollywood's administration is reading, please fire this bitch. This behavior would have been acceptable if the band was still playing or if I was going to STAY down there with no ticket, but she cost me an autograph opportunity - and as much as I don't like to be morbid, it is imperative that I get as many autographs while I still can, as you never know when classic rock/metal stars are going to fall over dead. This rude behavior is no way to treat the founder of the Vegas Valley Classic Rock Society, who is dedicated to keeping classic rock/metal alive.
All right, enough of my rant. The venue itself is very nice aside from that bitch I dealt with. If you're going to see a concert here, you'll be pleased with the quality of the venue - just be forewarned that it is not "autograph friendly."
