I stayed at the Platinum Hotel on Saturday July 12, 2010 and loved it! I came to see the shows, and am not into the casinos (except to people watch). Checkin was a breeze. The rooms are like a condo, living room, full kitchen, jacuzzi tub, and bedroom 950 sq feet. I found a web rate that was affordable. Happy hour was a great way to meet people, and enjoy sampling the food and having a drink before you head out to see the shows. Checked the outdoor pool and spa. Wireless internet was slow, but that was the only down side. There was a balcony with a view of the strip. I ordered room service which came quickly, and was great. Definately would stay here again. Location is an $11 taxi ride from the airport (why rent a car when you can walk)!
