One of the best locations of all the hotels, across the street from the Bellagio, and in the heart of all the action. This hotel tries very hard to be hip and it succeeds to an extent. Each room has a piece of hollywood magic from a film (Indiana Jone' hat, Elvis' shoes, etc). It's definitely catering to the younger single or young couple crowd.
I would say this is a solid 3.5 star hotel with potential to become a 4 star or a 3 star easily. This was the "new" Aladdin with a complete make-over. It was shown in parts of the film "21" has a nice club Prive and some nice restaurants. The Buffet here is very good located downstairs but that's where it ends.
Gambling here is literally a joke as the upper level "high rollers" is always empty and you end up playing against the dealer/house all night. It still has a very strange layout and is eerily quiet on the casino floor. The mall is long and not well thought through as you must travel what feels like a mile (literally called miracle mile mall) to the other side. There is way less traffic compared to Caesars Forum shops but the restaurants are fair. Lots of flair and hoopla but very little noise inside.
