| - It was a little difficult to differentiate between the self-parking lot for Westgate and the parking for Planet Hollywood itself, but we eventually figured it out (probably didn't help that my BFF was trying to give driving instructions while drunk in the backseat).
One of the perks about this hotel is that they offer an AAA member discount. Two bedroom suite, a full kitchen (with stovetop and fridge), 4 LCDs, projector, living room with a pull-out couch, hot tub, king-sized beds- not too shabby for me (It was less than $900 for 2 nights). I especially love the remote-control blinds (I know everybody else hated them though, because I LOVED to tap the switch every morning to let the sunlight in and the boys wanted to sleep in, of course). The living room blind doubles as a screen for the projector at night. That being said, movies are $12.95- don't let your drunk girlfriend get a hold of the remote and order Wolfman.
Too bad the hotel doesn't provide pots and pans. At 4 AM when all the restaurants downstairs were closed, we definitely could've made use of the kitchen. Next time we know to bring our own cookware.
Very friendly staff who responded quickly to our requests via phone. Interesting shops in the area, but nothing that really caught my eye. I didn't get a chance to go down to the casino area, so maybe next time.
The downside to this place was that one of the days during our stay coincided with Justin Bieber's concert. By the time we returned from lunch on Saturday, parking was nonexistent. The screaming little fangirls down in the lobby blew me away. And on Sunday during check-out, 2 out of 6 elevators were working. What was up with that?! Needless to say, the wait took so long that I walked down 18 flights of stairs.
I'll probably be back at this hotel at some point, but not before I've tried other hotels along the strip.
