| - After my friend ran a $250 bar tab at the Heart Bar, and called me to come get him, I became familiar with the Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino. I discovered it's typically less expensive for Las Vegas casino hotels, and it's right on the Strip, so that's what attracted me. I had enjoyed the sushi restaurant on an earlier visit, so my mind was made up to stay at Planet Hollywood. I am not sorry I did. I liked the hipper "vibe" and the fact the hotel sits atop a mall so there was something to do other than gamble. You can either just window shop, fantasize what you'd do if you won the $1 million shopping spree, or like I did, shop and dine here; the ABC Store had reasonably priced sundry items and snacks and was convenient for grabbing a bottle of water or some antacid before heading up to the room. There was a great sale going on at the Metropolitan Museum of Art shop too. Unlike the Bellagio, you walk off the elevator, through the casino and you are out on the strip in no time. Ironically, the sushi restaurant was always closed while I was there. Check-in went smoothly but it was so noisy I just smiled and nodded at whatever the desk clerk said. But that's a minor complaint since I loved the 80s soundtrack to my stay. The room was enormous, strangely so, triangular in shape, and the decor was dark and sort of odd, reminding me of the Munsters, shades of purple, green and black. Not exactly my taste.. The large bathroom had two vanities which I liked but the water pressure in the shower was extremely low. The decor of the hotel and casino is unspectacular and I kind of missed the "Hollywood" theme except there's some sort of VIP thing going on which I couldn't figure out. I never could find my way through the casino to the right elevator, which at first was humorous but then became annoying. And guests take the elevator for just one flight since it's hard making out where the escalators are located. The staff was not particularly friendly, but then most of the time I had trouble hearing them, and the woman at the guest center was downright rude as she was ready for her break and didn't feel like helping anyone else. At least be apologetic! The concierge was very helpful and recommended the Hawaiian Tropic restaurant in the mall which was great, as well as a sushi restaurant at Caesar's. The pool was wonderful with lots of lounge chairs to relax in. PH wouldn't necessarily be my first choice for a stay in Las Vegas, (look for a Palazzo review coming soon) but I'd stay here again.
