What a great hidden gem. Off the strip, non-gaming property. For the money it's a great deal and is positioned at the best part of the strip, less than a 10 minute walk from the hotel.
We stayed in an awesome king bed Princess Suite (1,150 +/= s.f.). Wow! It even has a sweet 7x10 foot foyer in the unit. We came here to celebrate my birthday and they outdid themselves - there are perks to being a regular. :) Good job Derek!
The bathroom is huge and the jets powerful in the whirlpool tub that is amply large for two people. The separate shower is also great and the rainfall shower head is awesome!
We arrived on a Thursday and departed on a Sunday and the weather was already turning a bit cooler (it was in the low 70s on Friday, mid 70s on Saturday) since it was mid-October.
The food at Kil@wat (only breakfast & lunch - dinner is not served but you can get room service until 11 pm) is excellent and room service was prompt and service exceptional. The service is outstanding in Kil@wat and Stir Lounge. Thumbs up for Claudia and Josh. Wonderfully welcoming!
Stir Lounge has great appetizers and discount drinks/wine on the happy hour menu and a great place to start and end nights.
They have complimentary valet parking, you just need to tip. And please do tip. These valets do not make a lot of money and just because it is complimentary to you doesn't mean those that are conveniencing your stay are getting paid fairly. We should be as good as customers as they are in providing a service. (Or treat others as you would wish to be treated.)
All in all I loved my stay at the Platinum Hotel and will of course be back on our next Vegas trip!
