When my friends and I decided to go to Vegas, Planet Hollywood wasn't the hotel I was thinking of staying. However, it was the cheapest deal on Allegiant Air so we went with it.
I was confident that it was going to be a wonderful hotel because I spoke to a lot of people and everyone had nothing but good things to say about it.
When we got there, I found it interesting how the loading and unloading zones were underground. It seemed every other hotel had theirs right in front of the hotel. Anyway, I was amazed with the simple but beautiful lobby. Well, the massive chandeliers that were by the escalators were beautiful. The lobby was pretty dark but that was not really a concern. Preston, the guy who checked us in, was very courteous and very helpful. I think he set my first impression of the hotel, which was a positive one. He also said somewhere along the lines of us being upgraded. Liked that too.
When we got to our room, I was very excited. It did seem like we were upgraded, with the huge room, bathroom and the amazing view. There were a few things that annoyed us, such as the TV and the phone not working. That was quickly fixed though so it wasn't too much of a big deal. It's just annoying having to go downstairs to the front desk and ask them to fix things because we can't call to have the said things to be fixed.
The pool area is nice and huge, but we didn't end up actually partying there. We just checked it out. I also like the fact that this hotel is attached to the Miracle Mile Mall, which was a huge convenience for us as we got our snacks, meals and booze from the mall.
What I liked about the casino were the places to eat. Earl of Sandwich, in particular was my fave. There was a 24h Starbucks, a P.F. Changs (ew), Planet Dailies (too $$$$ imo) and some other fancy restaurant we didn't bother checking out. Oh and Gallery nightclub is there too. Not a very good club. Well, not my scene/crowd.
What I didn't like about this casino was the lay out. Oh hot damn, I HATE the bloody lay out of the casino. Every single time, and I mean EVERY single time we tried to get out of there or tried to go upstairs, we would be lost! It was literally like a maze. I was confused every single time. And it didn't help for those times when I was drunk (which was about 90% of the time). Imagine my pain. No, don't actually. You'll cringe.
Other than that, it's a great place. Love love LOVE the fact that it's right in the middle of the strip. Wherever we went, cab rides were about $10 a pop so it wasn't too bad. It was also very close to our favorite clubs. I also love that Holly Madison's Striptease was showing here. I didn't see it because I didn't have enough time, but I will next time!
Would I stay here again? Probably not. it's Vegas - I want to stay and experience the other hotels. Would I recommend this to people who plan on staying there? Absolutely. Just bring a compass or GPS or something for that wretched casino. I'd give this place a 3.5/5 but since Yelp doesn't do half stars, I'm bumping it up to 4/5.
