| - my husband & i just returned from vegas two days ago. we took a brief weekday trip (tuesday - friday) with my parents after our wedding. to be honest, we did little of anything else but catch up on sleep, watch guilty pleasure television on cable & occasionally eat.
this said, the one place that we did venture out of the room to - twice - was the heart bar in the center of the planet hollywood casino. we met my parents there for video poker & drinks during the early afternoon and had a wonderful time. people, pro-tip: to forego paying $11 for a drink, simply put a twenty in the video poker machine. voila, drinks are comped. we enjoyed chopin & sodas for nearly nothing & had a great time playing 'jacks or better'.
our bar tenders were phenomenal --- especially sandi. she was engaging, nice, attentive, funny & professional. if you are staying at planet hollywood or are in vegas for a random conference without a desire to gamble, skirt chase or roam the strip, i suggest the heart bar during the day for a relaxed, low-key drink.
be sure to say hello to sandi --- you will not regret it.
my only complaint about the venue: the bar stools are mismatched. sure, this may seem a bizarre complaint to lodge, but i suffered the short, wobbly stool at the bar & it made for uneven conversation.
