| - Depending on what you are coming to Vegas for, the PH towers may very well be the way to go. It certainly was an experience for us when we decided to pack our bags and go one random weekend. We were celebrating my friend's first year of grad school completion, and had just planned to do a lazy weekend with mani/pedis, beach/shopping, and bar/clubbing. But oh a whim, we decided to celebrate in Vegas instead! She had scored a deal on expedia for a studio in the towers for $250 for a two night stay (pretty good deal already), but when we got there, we got upgraded to a two bedroom suite! The twenty trick probably helped =P. But we were ecstatic! I had known that PH in general was known for their upgrades, but this was unexpected!
Anyways, we went up to our room on the 23rd floor and to our delight, our room was the last one at the end of the hall, with double doors. Upon entrance, my girlfriends were just squealing and jumping for joy, running from room to room, it was fun to see how excited they all were! The room was very chic and the decorations very modern, hip and trendy. It was completely furnished with almost everything you could ask for, including washer/dryer, dishwasher, wet bar, and projector screen tv. A stocked minifridge would have sealed the deal for me. It was definitely a partying room and we all loved it! We had a wonderful view of the pool down below, as well as of the Eiffel Tower at the neighboring Paris Casino.
The staff here are very friendly, fun, and courteous, from their front desk staff to housekeeping. The hotel itself is clean and I like how the Towers entrance is detached from the casino area, and in the midst of the Miracle Mile shops.
There were somethings about this hotel though, that keep it from being a 5 star experience. First off, valet was full already when we arrived. Seriously? For an all suite building, I expect them to have enough valet space to accommodate every hotel room in the building. We had to park in Planet Hollywood's parking structure and walk quite a bit to get to the Towers. Secondly, their toiletries are of subpar quality. Motel 6 would give better quality toiletries. Never have I been disgusted with a hotel's shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. I actually felt dirtier after using them (they smelled like melted plastic and didn't really clean you at all), and had to get my own products. I didn't even bother with their lotion. Thank goodness I always make it a point to bring my own toiletries in case! The same goes for their toilet paper, tissues, and the mattress even was just average, not exactly very comfortable. But the PH Towers do not advertise themselves as a luxury hotel, so I suppose we cannot hold it too much against them. Their aim is to be hip and chic, to create a partying, glamorous atmosphere. That has nothing to do with being luxurious. Another thing I wasn't too please about was that they did not have their own spa to visit. Even though they built in their own fitness center, to access the spa, you have to go to Planet Hollywood and the casino. It isn't very convenient at all.
All these, however, are just minor details and I'm sure things that most people will overlook. Compared to everything else this hotel had to offer and the outstanding upgrade we received, they were almost omissible. So I only took off a star. It's still an excellent hotel, and I will definitely be booking my stay with them when I want to come to Vegas for partying rather than relaxing.
