| - I loved this place, though if I'm being totally honest I didn't spend a whole lot of time here.
I always find it amazing how American companies find a way to make you pay for everything, room with a view? That's extra ($20 per night PLUS tax). Bigger room? Extra. Fast pass to skip the que, extra... Where will the madness end! :O
Anywhoo, we paid for the view & were glad we did since it was our first time in Vegas, but talk about disappointing. We had a tiny window & could see from the edge of the bellagio (not the fountains either) right up to the end of the strip, it was amazing. Though a balcony or a bigger window would have been better appreciated. The rooms themselves were lovely, very comfortable bed (although we didn't do much sleeping), good sized wardrobe & TV & the bathroom was magnificant with a giant power shower & big bath tub & separate cubicle for the toilet...
The pool area was great, although I only just saw it, never spent any actual time there... Just too busy seeing the rest of Vegas!
The real winner for this hotel in my opinion is it's location. The hotel is literally smack bang in the middle of the strip and attached to one of the better shopping malls I had seen in hotels (the one in Ceasers is bigger, but too big for me. I spend 90 minutes on the second floor of their shopping mall without even going into a shop because I couldn't find my way back out!). There was also all the different food options right on the hotel grounds (PF Changs, Pinks, Pin-up pizza, and lots lots more in the mall). If you do visit planet Hollywood go try The Spice Market Buffet. Oh my GOD, breakfasts here were to die for, but if you manage to get there at bruch ask for a mimosa to go with it... Delish. (p.s. if you go to a buffet for breakfast ask for the 24 hour pass, only about $10 more & opens 7 different buffets for you for the day all included).
The hotel suited the kind of holiday we were on perfectly. We were a gang of messy, happy drunks who just wanted a good time & the PH staff were fantastic at putting up with us & getting in on the banter. We didn't get the same impression from staff at other hotels.
Why am I docking a star? What would I change? The theme to be honest! Although I understand the theme is "Planet Hollywood" & this theme was executed perfectly with the glamourous go-go dancers & beautiful dealers in corsets & hotpants and the movie memorabelia in each bedroom, having been to see the other hotels I was left feeling a little bit like I had missed out. Every other hotel has a sense of grandure that I didn't quite get from PH. Again, as I said, their theme was perfectly executed & a big extravogant casino like the others would not have fit in with Planet Hollywood and as I also said, this suited us for the type of holiday we were on.
If I was to visit Vegas again with a group, this would be the hotel for me. If it was just myself & my Fiancé it would probably be somewhere different to give us the fancy experience.
