| - Cynthia C. pretty much summed up all of the pro's and con's to this place.. However, on with my review.. I was very happy because my friends had found and booked the Platinum Hotel. First off, the prices were great considering the size of the room we got and the price. Each night cost around $300 (excluding New Years Eve, which got bumped up to almost $500). Anyhow, we had stayed in the Princess Suite which included a full kitchen, living room with pull-out bed, bedroom with two queen beds, a huge bathroom w/shower & bathtub with jets, and a balcony. The room was very nice and clean. For the price, I thought it was great since a suite on the strip would have cost much, much more. (Our friends stayed at Mandalay and paid more than us, and their rooms were TINY!)
Anyhow, some of the negatives of this hotel:
- bad customer service... the front desk staff was borderline rude.. they weren't friendly at all and caused me to be frustrated many times. (However, the valet staff was VERY friendly and nice)
- Housekeeping is very lazy at this hotel. Our rooms were cleaned halfway most of the time, and it took HOURS to get anything to our room when housekeeping did not replace it (towels, toilet paper, etc).
- There is a full kitchen with plates, bowls, cups, and utensils, but absolutely NO pots or pans... UM, how am I supposed to cook without pots and pans?? This was very odd to me since I stay in hotels with kitchens all the time (with timeshare), and have never not had pots and pans. Luckily, we had family in the area and they let us borrow some for the week. But this is something they need to think about - adding pots and pans to the rooms. Because since there was a kitchen, my friends and I had bought lots of groceries for breakfast/lunchtime/late night snacks for the times when we didn't want to eat out.
Pros:
+ Large, spacious rooms at a good price.
+ No casino on the bottom level, so it's never rowdy or hectic inside the hotel.
+ Cool indoor/outdoor pool with lounge beds around the pool and a bonfire.
+ Very comfortable shower water.
Overall, I would definitely recommend Platinum Hotel if you are staying in Vegas. Although there are a few negatives, the positives definitely outweighed the negatives for me. The rooms are HUGE compared to what you'll get on the strip. And even though it is a block away from the strip, it's nice because of that too. It's never loud or hectic inside the hotel. Also, transportation prices aren't too bad. about $5-$10 depending where you wanna go on the strip. And it was around $11.00 to get to the furthest points from Platinum (ex. Luxor/Mandalay Bay)
