First time to Vegas, and it's for my 28th Birthday. So far I am looking at:
Ceasars Palace
Aria
Paris
Planet Hollywood
--Would love opinions of which to choose or others. Going to be me and my boyfriend.|||Bellagio would always be my first choice because of their immaculate customer service, second to none. Also the best buffet in Vegas and amongst the best restaurants, lounges and night clubs. If you get a fountain view room it's just awesome.
However, it's expensive, and so are Venetian or Encore, so.... amongst the ones you have highlighted, I'd go for Aria, with new, modern rooms, a real fun huge casino and a good location. Paris Vegas is also nice though I am not keen on their casino games. PH is ok, a cheaper option by all means. Caesar's Palace is a little less affordable, a huge maze so for that reason I'd exclude it personally.
You may want to consider Mandalay Bay, which is great for those in their late twenties and early thirties, fantastic rooms; location is a little 'off' (south Strip) but it's not the end of the world with their free shuttle to Excalibur.|||For your age group you guys would probably like Planet Hollywood/Towers the best! The crowd is around the same age, its located in a great section of the strip! Easy walking to just about anything. PH Tower is smoke-free, just to let you know. The PH casino and hotel and the PH Towers are both connected by the Miracle Mile shopping mall which is also in the huge resort, so it's not like you need to go outside to get to one place to another!
PH Towers have the following
* Jacuzzi tub
* Washer/Dryer combo in the bathroom
* Kitchenette with plates/cups/utensils (although I was wary about using them)
* FOUR TVs in one suite
* Lots of room!
* Projector screen
* Ceiling to floor windows (but with the best shades EVER to keep out the sun during the day time)
If i had to pick a close second i like Aria its new and connected to the city center which is awesome, then caesars they have the best pool out of the group (this is an older 40+ rich crowd) then i would go with Paris last but paris is still one of the best casinos in vegas! You have a high list here!|||Ceasars Palace- Some towers are nice and others are not. Great common areas, casino, and pool.
Aria- Relatively quiet because it has too many rooms with too few people staying. Very nice rooms, restaurants, and casino. Unlike other casinos it doesn't smell too much of smoke.
Paris- Great restaurants and location. The rooms aren't anything special, but not bad. The pool is above average and the casino is nice.
Planet Hollywood- Great casino, shopping, and restaurants. Service, rooms, and pools are mediocre. The crowd is young and rowdy smokers.|||I loved Planet Hollywood! It was in an ideal location in the centre of the strip, it had lots going on inside the hotel, the casino was huge and the heart bar was great for a drink. The fact it was attached to miracle miles mall was great as well because it gave us lots of options for food and drink close by and i could go spend all my money in the stores :P Gallery Niteclub was great too.
The rooms in PH was excellent as well, I can't recommend it enough :)
Other hotels that I liked just from exploring the strip were New York New York, MGM, Caesars, and Paris.
Mandalay bay was also nice, but its a bit further away from the action, you need to use a tram to get to the main part of the strip.
Enjoy Vegas, I wish I was going back soon :)
PH Towers are right at the back of the miracle miles, but the rooms look lovely. I never actually stayed in the Towers, I was in the main resort but tbh if it was significantly cheaper I don't think the extra 5mins through the mall would bother me.
I wouldn't describe the PH rooms as 'boring'. Its a hotel room, what are you looking for? Resort Room had his& hers sinks, a tub, a shower and was more than big enough for me and my boyfriend, with a lKingsize bed, 2 chairs and a table. I had the best time in Planet Hollywood and recommend it to anyone 18-35.|||Of all your choices, I'd go with Planet Hollywood towers. Go for a 1 bedroom suite and you won't regret it. There's a jacuzzi in your room, flatscreens everywhere, a wet bar, and a projector in your living room. Compared to PH, it's newer, a few minute extra walk into the hotel, but definitely not bad at all.
All the hotels you mentioned are pretty good, but I don't know the details and your budget, so this would be the best bang for my buck choice. Try http://www.mycheapvegas.com for promo codes too if you decide on other hotels.|||Caesar's. Their buffet is not so great but the pool is amazing and the overall hotel is too.
I know Bellagio is not in your list (and maybe budget) but if you can, I would recommend that one too. The hotel and grounds are pure fantasy and so romantic so if it's you and your boyfriend, that might be a special memory.|||Aria
and Vdara are very nice, upscale--and less rift-raft.The more you pay-the better...u dont wanna stay where all the 22 year olds stay--or the hicks from texas with coolers in thier rooms. Anyone that keeps beer in a cooler while vacationing in vegas is tacky..Vdara was wonderful.|||PH towers are so far back of the mall! Long walk!
Aria the newest. I would go with.
CP has a newer tower opening or is opened.
Paris heard its gone downhill.
PH boring basic room I got. A local deal. Trouble getting in and outta of the super deep bath tub!|||For good sources about recommended places to stay there, hotels reviews, and hotel average prices, link below would helpful

Bye|||Yeah I think Planet Hollywood is good. I haven't been there personally, but would love to try this year.|||Flamingo is good and it is in the middle of the strip.
New York New York is very good
Luxor is good (my neighbor and her husband like it)|||Ceasars Palace. One of my all time favorites. I love there pool!|||For me, it would have to be the Bellagio, overlooking the fountains.
My friend and I are staying at Planet Hollywood, but we plan on going hotel and pool shopping. We've been to the Miami Hard Rock and we like pools like that best. Not the square kind. Whats the fanciest hotel that's a must have for pool hopping, in a bathing suit and cover up?|||At most Vegas hotels, you can only use the pool if you are a hotel guest. You can pay to enter the various pool parties and pool clubs though. Encore is a very nice hotel with a great pool club - Encore Beach Club - which is open on the weekends. Admission varies from $25-60 for females, depending on the day, the time, special events, etc. Males pay more.
MGM's Wet Republic is fun and Venetian's Tao Beach Club is great. You could check out Bare at Mirage, Liquid at Aria, and Venus Pool Club at Caesars. Palms and Hard Rock also throw great pool parties. These are all nice pools at great resorts. But again, these are the pool areas that charge admission. Their regular pool areas are reserved for hotel guests.|||My name is Preston Rideout. I live in Vegas and work in the nightclub industry. The 2 Best Vegas Pool parties are "F Me I'm Famous" on Sunday's at Wet Republic at the MGM and "Ditch Friday's" at the Palms Pool located at the Palms Hotel Casino. Both Parties are amazing and located in nice hotel casino's. Check out http://www.spyonvegas.com/ and click on Galleries to see recent pictures from these Pool Parties.|||one thing is the fancies hotel in Vegas and quite another is the best pool.. For example, the Venetian is absolutely one of the best hotels in Vegas yet, though their pool is very nice, I prefer other pools. It is such a personal preference! Btw, Bellagio and Wynn are also very 'fancy' hotels :)
Given that you sound young, I would suggest the Mirage pool area (one of the best pools in Vegas by far, the waterfalls are absolutely gorgeous, they blow you away) and Mandalay Bay (if you are into a real beach with real waves, this is it).|||There are so many...you should really consider the Mandalay Bay, their lazy river, and the wave pool are phenomenal, and of course the playboy pool at the Palms, but that requires an invitation, MGM adult pool is a great site, and of course the Venetian is great too, so enjoy, have a great time, and remember, have a great time.|||The Wynn is one of the nicest hotels on the Strip. The Hard Rock is known for their pool scene.|||NO pool hopping, not free unless registered guest
Friends have already told me about "palms" and "planet hollywood" but they are far away from the strip....i would prefer to be closer to all the other hotels|||Planet Hollywood is dead center on the strip. Hard Rock is off the strip.
The best hotel in Vegas is the Wynn. Any of the hotels will 'do', though, if you plan on being in the room for sleeping and that's it.
The best are
Wynn
Venetian/Palazzo
Bellagio
Four Seasons
Luxor, NYNY, Excalibur, Bally's, Imperial Palace are all pretty junky.
When I would go with friends, I'd stay at the Mirage, Planet Hollywood, or Paris, depending on who had the best rates. I had standards and refused to stay in the trashy places.|||Both the MGM & Venetian is sick!! you can't ask for better facilities/rooms!! Also, remember to book thru a coupon site for savings/discounts, try http://www.coupondawg.com....have a blast and good luck!|||The Mirage
Caesars Palace
The Flamingo
btw: Planet Hollywood IS NOT far away on the strip... Its right in the middle of all the action|||uh planet hollywood is right on the strip.
But the truth is that alot of people concern themselves or age in Vegas. Age is meaningless in Vegas, assuming you are over 21 that is. Everyone is just getting wild and having fun.|||Hello
This can help you to find nice hotel deals.we can check and compare current hotel prices along with reviews at “hotels combined”

good luck!..|||THE LUXOR AND UR FRIENSDS R RIGHT THE PALMS ROCK O AND HARD ROCK HOTEL
I recently saw some people on the strip carrying these long purple drink bottles that have a planet hollywood logo on it. Where can I get this bottle, and how do i get it? Give me any other info you know.|||Anywhere! Just take a short walk and you will find the "yard and half yard" margaritas thats what you were seeing. If you walk more than a block you will see plenty of places to get them.|||Probably at like Fat Tuesday's inside the Miricale Mile.|||Well, that one was from Planet Hollywood. But other places have them. I know Harrahs does, Imperial Palace & downtown Fremont street, among others.
My boyfriend and I just got back from Las Vegas, and we're already planning a second trip for October because we loved it. We stayed at the Luxor, and loved everything except for how far it was from everything. I'm wondering what some people would say is the best Hotel in Vegas. Please keep in mind we're on somewhat of a budget, and we want somewhere close to the middle of the strip. We were thinking the Hard Rock, Planet Hollywood, or the Mirage....anybody stay there? Experiences? thanks! =-)|||Of those, i would so for the Mirage...it's near a lot of things on the strip and not too bad budget wise..the other two you mentioned are far from stuff.|||I have been going to Vegas for years and the best place, as far as I'm concerned is The Imperial Palace. It is a medium sized casino the rates are afordable and it is located centraly. It's a short walk to 5 or 6 of the top cainos in Vegas. It's a short bus ride to downtown Vegas and a free
shuttle ride to MGM, Tropicana, New York New York, Luxor, Excalibur and more. You can get a shuttle ride from Belagio or from the casino across the street, used to be the MGM. Hard Rock is off the strip and
a little awkward to get around. For my money you can't beat the Imperial Palace for location.|||I've been to Vegas a ton of times now and found my stay at Treasure Island to be very pleasing! It wasn't expensive, was close to everything, and just seemed to satisfy me more than any of the other hotels I've stayed in. Next time I go I will be staying there again. You can also look for coupons on sites such as Ebay, etc. and get discounts on most hotels, stores and so on.
=)|||Regarding your choosen hotels I would take Mirage. It is a really nice hotel and they have new renovated rooms and a great pool area. Regarding the budget: The best is to book it via a hotel promotion offer code which you can find on http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com - Hope this helps.|||The Palms is where it is at. Great time. They have an awesome casino and really good nightclubs. You have to check out the moon nightclub and rain. It is also affordable compared to some of the other nicer hotels. If you are going to some of the clubs be sure to order your tickets ahead of time, I got stuck on line for a little while but it was still worth it.|||my parents go to vegas when they can, and they usually stay at bally's. it's right in the middle of everything, which means that you can save the money you would've used on transportation to have fun with! if it was a crappy place, they wouldn't stay there!|||Hard Rock is off the strip. PH has a lot of issues i would google it, I was going to stay there but didn't. I stayed at the Mirage a few months ago, LOVE IT!
not too far on the south strip and nothing past Circus Circus.|||PH is a long walk from everything. The middle of the Strip would be Caesars Palace, Ballys, Bellagio, Paris, Bills or Flamingo.|||I would recommend staying at Ceasars, it was a great location and we loved it. There are soem great rates here: http://www.dealtaker.com/Center-of-The-S鈥?/a>
I stayed there twice and the music is way different than the other strip hotels except for Planet Hollywood well almost. The music almost sounds like House / Dance / Techno / Jazz Music....... Is that what they play at the Wynn resort?|||It depends on what is going on there, week ends etc. call the front desk they will tell you.
for eg,what factors for planet hollywood to choosing a location?|||Hmm. Parking, rent costs, street access for vendors like bread and meat deliveries, proximity to similar restaurants.
The proximity question is interesting because you WANT to have competion nearby. People will go into an area with multiple restaurants and then make a decision on where to go. If you are all by yourself, they have to be planning to go to your restaurant. Other restaurants mean that your compeditors have done their research for you. If they are doing well, you only need to take some of their trade. If they are not doing well, you should consider going elsewhere.
I am going to Niagara Falls and I was wondering what to bring. Put everything you can think of.
Planned Itinerary:
Maid of the Mist
Shopping
Planet Hollywood for dinner
But when we get there we will go on anything that interests us.
Suggestions?!?
Thanks in advance|||What you need to bring will depend on how long you are planning to stay.
The must haves when going to the falls will be...
1. Comfortable walking shoes
2. Sunblock
3. Umbrella... Only if the weather is calling for rain.
4. Spending money. like anywhere else, attractions, accommodations and food all cost money. One good thing about the falls though is that since it is a natural wonder you can view it for free from viewing areas on both sides.|||Good shoes. :P|||umbrella and wallet.|||a barrel|||Go up and down Clifton Hill, best street in Ontario. A lot of great things on there and go on that huge ferris wheel.|||Raincoat and Video Cam So You will Remember|||Good shoes
good jacket just in case
a camera for sure
thats all i can think of xD|||binoculars, poncho or raincoat. You WILL walk alot, so yes, bring comfortable footwear. Have fun. I found the prices at Fridays on the Canadian side to be higher there than in the states.. fyi.|||No different from any other place...Be neat and casual.|||I was there a week ago......and there weather was good!! Right before you go just check the weather if you live in canada...if you dont just search toronto weather!!
Even if it is really hot....i suggest you bring a sweater because when you are watching the falls like rain drops will hit you thats how hard the falls are!!
Well when you get there you will see this boat called "maid of mist" it will be on the falls....its really amazing..ive been on it!! ....The restaurants have really good food (but kind of expensive).
The hotels are really nice and clean...if your thinking of sleeping there!!..Beside Niagara falls there is this place called "marineland" its amazing.....the dolphins are really friendly!!
So...Bring a sweater...lots of water bottles....extra pair of shoes and clothes if you want!!
Hope i helped lol....Have a great time!!|||Avoid planet hollywood (Frozen prepared food that they heat and serve), there's a good place by the falls, 2 stories tall I forget it's name but it's the only building there.
good place for a late dinner, classy food and they allow casual wear.
there are plenty of good local places to eat.
i would like to buy a long sleeved white or tan button down shirt with las vegas written
across or above the pocket. i was unable to find it at planet hollywood, and other
shops on the strip last time i was there. i will be going back shortly and wish
to buy one. as always, thank you y/a people.|||have you tried ebay.com? here's the site http://stores.ebay.com/narcisorodriguez?鈥?/a> i think you'll like this, you can find that on here|||At the front of Casino Royale there is a shop that sells all kinds of great clothes with Las Vegas on them. I bought a great button down shirt from there for only $10. Also try Walgreens on the strip. They have a huge souvenier section with lots of clothes.
I've heard that a lot of construction is going on there because they are making it into Planet Hollywood. I made reservations before I found out about the remodeling. Has anyone stayed there recently or seen it? I'd like to know how the conditions are because if it is too noisy or messy, I might cancel and switch hotels. Thanks!
Also, how is the spice market buffet? Someone told me that the food now isn't as good as it had been before the remodeling. Any experiences you'd like to share?|||I stayed there this past August,the downstairs is where most of the construction is taking place. The hotel is strategically located on the strip close to walking distances to the other major hotels and casinos,walking distance to Caesar's and New York New York. I wouldn't change hotels,there is also a mall downstairs with tons of restaurants and shops.|||I stayed there in august as well, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised by the rooms. We got a really good deal on the rooms ($29 a night) and the rooms were incredible. Me and my brother had a room with 2 Queen beds, a large tv, an in room safe, and a tremendous bathroom with both a tub and shower. The hotel is amazing, and most of the construction that is being done is downstairs and a little bit in the casino. It was not a bother at all. You'll have fun at the hotel, but I personally wouldn't gamble there anymore. I had the worst luck there out of any casino.|||The shopping there is good and diverse but that's all I did at the Aladdin.|||Vegas is a disease|||yeah|||still ballin'|||it's in a good location but 2nd rate compared to the Bellagios and Venetians of the world...|||Most of the construction is taking place downstairs which looks a bit doom and gloom and could put people of this hotel which is why they were offering very good priced to stay in this hotel whilst the contruction was taking place. If you dont mind a bit of noise whilst shopping there then its ok. Plus you are within walking distance to most of the other major hotels like the Bellagio, New York New York, Casers Palace and the Flamingo which all provide great services and things to do. You should try it out and if you are not happy then they will transfer you to another hotel which can be done. The customer service there is very good. Have fun!|||I was there in the first part of October. There was a lot of construction going on in both the hotel and the Dessert Passage shopping area.
I didn't stay at the hotel but I ate at the Spice Market Buffet for lunch. It was overpriced and was not all that based on what the Vegas guides hype it to be. The meat station and the dessert stations were great. The other stations just didn't have alot to offer. Even the salad bar wasn't good. I was very disappointed. I am trying Bellagio next time or maybe th Rio. Like I said, that meat was great. The lamb and the chicken that was skewered and had the best unique flavor.
I actually liked the breakfast buffet at the Las Vegas Hilton for the money. If you join the players club you get a buy 1/get 1 coupon.
im going to hang out with some friends on Saturday, they said that were going to Manhattan...were gonna eat in either Planet Hollywood or Olive Garden...how much money should i bring/need? ive never eat there before|||Bring at least 40 for your meal there, they tend to be more expensive and you may get something more expensive or an entree.|||In Manhattan, I have been to both and the closer to midtown the more expensive i would bring at least 60 unless you are drinking then you might want to bring alot more|||$75... and drink water, share dessert
Me and my girlfreind are going to vegas to get married in february. We are staying at planet hollywood for 4 nights. Our flight, hotel and rental car are paid for. So how much $ should we bring for us to eat, tip, and have fun. "We want to go out, gamble, go to a show and just have fun". |||I know it sounds condesending, I'd take every penny you can afford to spend...
You'll need probably 50-100 for each show you want to go to. Dinners are not too bad, but I'd plan on 20 bucks a person. Drinks can be free in the casinos if you are gambling, so you won't need a lot for alcohol.
And for gambling... if you play the big tables, you'll need a lot. IF you just play some 25 cent slots, then 200 bucks will last for a while.
|||gambling: no more than you can afford to lose. When I go, I plan on $25 per day--that's my limit. I usually go home with about $600 or $700 extra (If I wouldn't get greedy when I'm winning I could probably go home with more. Video poker and the penny slots seem to have the best payouts and I'm either very good or very lucky at Black Jack)
tips for hotel staff: $3-$5 a day for housekeeping (possibly more if you're in a really posh place.
$5 or $10 for staff that helps with luggage checking in and checking out.
Restaurants are really inexpensive--even the pricier restaurants are relatively inexpensive compared to the rest of the country (I've gone on business and stayed for several weeks at a time and found it was much cheaper to eat out at a decent restaurant than it was to grocery shop and prepare my own food. Avoid the chain restaurants--you can get that stuff at home and there is better food to be had for roughly the same price) I usually tip waitstaff 20%.
when you are gambling the drinks are free. I usually tip $2 or $3 per drink.
if you win big and need a security escort to walk to your car then I tip the security guard $100-$200 or 10% whichever is greater.
shows can be expensive. Decent shows can start out at $50 per person. Le Cirque shows are usually $75 to $100 or more per person to start. Try to decide ahead of time what you would like to see and seek out a package deal online or when you get to town grab one of those tourist magazines and look for coupons for the shows you want to see.
my basic rule of thumb:
$3-$5 per day per room for housekeeping (housekeeping doesn't have to clean your room everyday if you're going to be there long term)
$25 per day per person for gambling
$40 per day per person for food (most places have free breakfast or have a restaurant and the food is really very reasonably priced. I'll splurge on the large meal for the day which may be lunch or it may be dinner and eat light the rest of the day)
figure in another $200 for one or two shows per person
maybe another $150 to do a helicopter tour of night time Vegas or a tour of the Grand Canyon (that one is an all day tour and they serve you lunch. You meet the bus at one of it's hotel stops and it's about a 1 1/2 to 2 hour drive to the Grand Canyon. You're back in time for dinner)
another $25-$50 for souvieners per person
4 days in Vegas is plenty of time. I start to get bored after day 5 or 6.
Congrats and have fun!|||Probably at least a few hundred bucks. Depends on how much you want to spend on your expenses. Also, avoid carrying cash. Use your credit/debit or another form of money. Vegas isn't the safest and it's also very easy to lose your cash. Check with your hotels website for restaurants and also check with the concierge for any coupons or deals they may offer guests.|||If you want to eat big for 4 nights it could be several $100 easy
if you eat a modest breakfast ($15-20 each) and an okay lunch ($30-50 each) with dinner you are lookin at $700 bucks (with an emergency 100 in case + tip money)
Gambling is a personal matter, idk if u r a gambling addict or novice
but rule of thumb is not to bring so much that you fell bad if you lost it all
so if you make 2 milli a year go ahead and drop a couple grand
but if this is your first time in Vegas (no experience) be prepared not to drop alot of money because however good it may look to drop a ton of cash on a table in front of ur girl it feels worse to watch it all be lost in front of ur girl|||Believe it or not, there are things to do in Vegas that don't require a whole lot of money. Those things consist of sight-seeing- typical examples would be the beautiful mountains near the city, Hoover dam (not a lot of money, but almost free), walking around the strip and seeing Fremont Street.at night.
Since you didn't say that you were on a tight budget though, I would plan on spending about $100-150 per day each. That should be plenty for a git of light gambling, taxi fare, meals and maybe one or two shows.
Have a great time!
|||As a guidel line, the wife and I plan on 200 a day. This is for eating, drinking, gambling, monorail, cabs, and what not. That seems to do us great. We can play penny, nickle, and quater slots here and there, and also get on a 5 dollar table game. Some days we lose the money, and other days we have hit some good wins that keep us going. Over all we spend 7 days each time we go, and we usualy average about 1,000 dollars each that we spent for everything.....|||I like to take $500 per day funny money. Then I put meals on credit cards. You should buy show tickets online before you go. Buy them directly from the hotel the show is at. Some ticket websites charge double price. Have fun even when loosing. Since it's your wedding, you should go all out, and have the time of your life.|||LOL!
There is no limit on the money you can lose in Las Vegas!
By all means go out, visit shows, go to Grand Canyon, spend your money on real fun.
Yeah, gambling is a lot of fun as long as you don't lose enough to hurt.
I lost around $ 1000 and it was no more fun after that.|||holey cow, you would need ALOT. not to mention there are shows you might wanna see there. depending on what show you want to see, some aree pretty expensive. there is mamma mia, cirque du soleil (water and sun show). you would need ALOT!!. i can't say exactly how much but you would need to take alot of money|||$125 per day will be fine.
if you want to buy gifts for the friends. little more
live here and you can do fine with that.
|||However much you're willing to lose|||ALL OF IT.
I am going there Friday to spend the day, and I want to know which restaurant is the best and why.
I have eaten at Rainforest Cafe and Planet Hollywood before.|||My two personal favorites are:
House of Blues: the BEST shrimp po'boy I've ever had (including the many I've had in New Orleans) and they have live music at night.
Raglan Road: GREAT Irish food and live music almost always. Really cool atmosphere, too.
If you just want counter-service, Earl of Sandwich has amazing soups and sandwiches.

I was there, The food is great!|||rainforest.me and my wife eat there all the time|||I love Bongo's Cuban cafe. The food is full of flavor and it isn't to expensive. The food really tastes special. It isn't just a kids place like the Rain Forest. In the evenings they have great live music and Latin dancing and I think they still have salsa lessons.
Don't pass it up and don't be afraid to try the yucca with mojo (pronounced mo ho) it is excellent.|||We always eat at Earl of Sandwich and Wolfgang Puck Express. Great selection and great value.. well value for being in Disney World! haha|||Wolfgang Puck's Express is very good. We also love the House of Blues. Great sweet iced tea.|||RC and PH arent that great IMO. there is a lack of really good restaurants at DTD. I only usually get a sandwich and a salad from Earls or ice cream at Ghira. Fultons was okay. Stay away from Bongos too pricey and food is not worth it.
There are better selections outside DTD IMO|||Fultons Crack House . or wolfgang pfucks
My birthday is next week so this weekend I'm going to NYC with my mom, aunt, cousin and grandma. We're going to be seeing Mary Poppins, which is right in Times Square. After the show we want to go out to dinner. I'd like to go to a fun restaurant that's appropriate. I've been to Hard Rock Cafe, Planet Hollywood, and Jekyll and Hydes. Any other fun places you know of?|||Anything IN Times Square is a tourist trap.
Go around the corner to Carmines. 44th St and 8th Ave. Excellent Italian food and a fun atmosphere. Good place for a b-day party.
Otherwise, all the better restaurants nearby are on 9th Ave.
Happy Birthday!|||here is a list of places that are rated/reviewed by people that you might like:

Not Planet Hollywood though, coz he's been there loads before.|||TGI Fridays...i went to the one near Alwych (if thats how it is spelt) and unfortunately it was my birthday and i got 'Happy Birthday' sung to me by the staff.
The food was great and so was the staff and i would reccommend to any ages. I have found in the past this restraunt can get crowded but even on a Friday night it wasn't
Food arrived promptly and is reasonably priced.
Hope you have a good time wherever you go =]|||Hard Rock cafe. xox|||Try Chinatown near Leicester Square. Lovely place to explore.|||TGI Fridays they sing happy birthday and bring out a big slice of cake and the food is good|||Boxwood cafe, in the berkley hotel it's like a family restaurant where they do posh ham burgers and amazing chips! it's owned by Gordon Ramsey.
Hi. I'm going to Vegas for the first time in a dozen years, and will be staying at the Luxor. Can anyone advise me on the the best way to economically ride between there, Planet Hollywood, and the Mirage for some evening shows?
I also here that Hugo's, down at the 4 Queens, is a great restaurant. Anyone tried it?
Thanks!|||Fastest way is a Taxi. Probably run you about 12.00 If you are trying to do it cheap, then tram from Luxor to Excalibur, walk to from Excalibur to NY, NY then walk to Monte Carlo, then take the tram from Monte Carlo to Mirage.
I hope this helps!|||Take the double decker bus. It's like $5 for an all day pass and it goes all the way up and down the strip and into downtown.|||Taxi-the only way to go from your destinations, have fun!!|||There is a free mono-rail that runs between the Luxor and Excalibur so I would take that and then walk to Planet Hollywood. For the Mirage its a really long walk and so I suggest taking a taxi, especially if you are going to a show. AFTER the show you may want to consider walking back, or again taking a taxi.|||Hugo's is fantatic and romantic.
You take the free tram from Luxor to Excalibur, cross the street bridge to NYNY, walk to Monte Carlo and catch a tram to Mirage. Otherwise you can walk or ride the bus. You can walk to PH from Mirage.
Check out www.lasvegasnow.com for info|||On all of our trips to Vegas, we end up walking the strip. I would definitely walk to Planet Hollywood with no problem. It takes about 15 minutes door to door. The Mirage is farther, so if you are wanting to get there in a decent amount of time, I would suggest the Deuce. An all- day 24-hour pass is only $5, and it stops at all of the hotels on the strip and downtown. You can ride it one way for $2. The only thing about the bus is it can get kind of crowded, and it can get stuck in traffic. So if it looks too busy, or you don't want to take the risk, you could try the monorail.
http://www.lvmonorail.com/
You could get on the Monorail at the MGM Grand Station. (just go into MGM and follow signs to monorail, or ask an employee where it is). It has a stop at Harrah's/Imperial Palace, which is across the street from the Mirage. It costs $5 for a one-way ticket, $9 for a two-ride ticket, or $9 for a 24-hour pass. It's a little more expensive than the bus, but it is not very crowded most of the time, and it will get you places fast.
I hope this helps!
P.S. If you want to ride the monorail to Planet Hollywood, also, there is a stop at Paris/Bally's which is next door to Planet Hollywood.|||The duce is the best way to get around. There are also plenty of taxis. Not sure if you already booked your room at the LUXOR but here is a promo code " Promo" . If might get you a better deal. Make sure you compare the price and the extras they give you. Here is the Luxors link http://clk.atdmt.com/MGM/go/pblsrmgm1870鈥?/a>|||here is a map of the strip

A company that offers excellent benefits, etc?
I know theirs Wynn Las Vegas, Harrahs, MGM Mirage, Station Resorts, Sands Corp, Planet Hollywood etc, but what are the major difference between each? Is their really a difference?|||Good luck in getting hired in any job at those casinos. If they do have an opening they want heavy experience for the least amount of money at this time. They are all still laying off with more to come. Wynn is suppose to have the best benefits followed by the Sands Corp. Stations is in bankruptcy and will probably be sold to Boyd Gaming shortly with cuts to follow there. Planet Hollywood is about to be taken over by Harrah's so again, cuts on the way. Each property withing the MGM and Harrahss has their own hiring policies. I know people within the MGM family of casinos and hate it but there is no where else to go. The best bet is with the smallest corporations. Stations use to be named one of the best corporations to work for but recently have gotten caught up with the economy. Too bad. We will miss them.

Remember that GDP is defined as the total market value of all final goods and services produced WITHIN the country in a given period of time (usually a calendar year). It is also considered the sum of value added at every stage of production (the intermediate stages) of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time, and it is given a money value.

I know for sure we want to eat at the 50's diner at what used to be the MGM...can't remember what it is called now and also Planet Hollywood. Would like some other great spots, and please say whether they are breakfast lunch or dinner. We have 3 kids (9,7,3) and are open to most anything. Thanks a bunch!|||magic kingdom:

-chef mickey's at the contemporary resort (breakfast or dinner)|||The best place that I've eaten is at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge called Boma. It has really great food! Basically, it is a buffet with plenty of choices on both the main course and dessert. Of course, there are a few African dishes like gumbo, etc.
Also, if you are the first family of the day to enter the restaurant (most likely around 4:30pm), you get something special to remember the occasion, along with some entertainment ;)
The 50s diner you are talking about is called the 50s Prime Time Cafe at Disney's Hollywood Studios, but the thing is, you HAVE to eat all of your food--they are pretty strict! (or so I've heard) I've read stories about people throwing food away in the bathroom and the waiter immediately will bring out another plate of food...so I'd be careful on that one! I think what would be more friendly is the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant ;)|||I would suggest a character meal, check out allears.net, they give you the menus and tell you what charcters will be where. We went to the princess lunch in Norway at Epcot last year, it was very good but I have 2 girls, it would depend what characters tour kids are into. This year we are going to chef mickeys and 1900 park fayre in the grand floridian hotel (they have cinderella, prince charming, drizella, anastasia and cinderellas step mother).
In the Magic Kingdom we always go for lunch in pinochios village haus, its just a counter service but we love it, its like a tradition of ours, we get a table next to the window and wave at the people on 'its a small world'.
Reservations are a must at busy times of the year for character meals and the sit down restraunts.|||Probably with kids that age character dining (assuming they're cool with the characters) would be a great idea. My personal favorite is the Liberty Tree Tavern in the Magic Kingdom. You can go for either lunch or dinner, but the character portion is only at dinner time.
You get a family style meal consisting of a generous serving of roasted turkey breast, carved beef, and smoked pork loin, with mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, herb bread stuffing, and Stouffer's Macaroni and Cheese. The cherry cobbler dessert is really tasty, too.
My husband and I both love this place, even though we don't have any children.. The food is good, and the atmosphere is really great! It's a must stop every time we visit the world ;o)

I want to eat at Planet Hollywood, but I am only buying park tickets for MGM, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and Epcot.
Thanks for your help!|||downtown disney is free of charge and it isn't a park, its a street with a huge disney store, you eat at restaurants, walk, and shop. you can get to this street by free disney transportation by bus or boat.|||You do not need a ticket to get into Downtown Disney. Transportation there is free from Disney Resorts.|||The hopper pass includes all things Disney. Have a great time.|||Downtown Disney is free to everyone. Planet Hollywood is open to the public as are all restaurants in downtown Disney. You may encounter a waiting list but that would be normal.
Be advised park hopper tickets do not include admission into clubs at Pleasure Island, or other venues at the West End that charge for admission, ie Cirque Soleil , House of Blues concerts and Disney Quest.|||it all depends but i believe hopper ticket means you can go to each park. for as many days it says on the ticket. you can mainly go anywhere in disney with that ticket i believe until it expires.|||your going to have to buy another ticket for it, and the waterparks also, unless it's changed from when I went there|||Most areas of Downtown Disney do not require a park pass. There are areas of WDW that you can go to if you have the "Water Parks and More" option on your park-hopper pass, including Disney Quest and some areas of Pleasure Island. If you decide you want to do those things, it is much cheaper to buy them as an option on your pass than to buy the entrance tickets separately.
I had it at the Planet hollywood in Vegas and the nice waitress gave me the ingredients but I lost the napkin, and really want to make another one.

For my birthday I wanna go with friends to waikiki at night. Some of us aren't 18 yet so were trying to find a place for under age people. Just like a restaurant or dance club or something. We were thinking planet hollywood or blu tropix?(do they allow underagers to go)?
Any suggestions?|||well an tsunami should hit hawaii and that will destroy ur clubs i suggest not going to a club right now. or build ur own club in the mountains
I am planning a girls weekend (3 nights) in Vegas at the beginning of December. I have found a trip (flight and hotel) for about $420 at Planet Hollywood including flight, taxes and shuttle from airport. Is this a good deal? The girl I am going with swears we should wait until October to book, that the prices will be cheaper. I dunno, for this hotel, and a direct flight from Bellingham, this seems pretty good to me.|||I'm going back in December also and I found the best deal I'd seen just last week so I booked it. After searching for a couple of months, I found the same package I had been looking at for about $80 per person cheaper and snatched it up.
Mine is December 9-12, Detroit to Las Vegas, staying at Rio, flying Delta nonstop, with roundtrip shuttle to/from the airport and two Buffet of buffets passes - $446/person for two people.
Definitely book soon. I mean, best case scenario you might find the trip you're looking at for what, $20 cheaper? It doesn't get much lower than that.|||Let me answer your question taking into account few cases -
Vegas is a place where you need a hotel to just stay and relax and stretch legs. Most of time you will be out site seeing or partying late night. So it doesnt make sense to spend a lot of money on staying specially if you are on a budget.
1) If you are going with friends and you gusy are comfortable, just book one room with 2 queen beds and crash in it. I remember first time when I went there, we all were students and 5-6 people stayed in one room. No one says anything. you will be able to get unlimited room service for towers and stuff. You will be able to get extra blankets etc also. Just 2 people check in. It applies to almost all hotels. So this will really help you manage your budget and stay in better hotel.
2) If you dont want to stay with more than 2 peopel in a room or only few people are traveling then best bet is Excalibur. It is on the strip, so all places are at walking distance and it is very cheap and decent rooms to spend a night or more. I have stayed there most of my time.|||you need to book 3 months earlyer so ive heard so right now is a good time..oryou can ask them if in october they have cheaper prices which i doubt cuz alot of people travel for halloween and december the prices go up because of chirstmas.|||Great deal, grab it now before it goes pooof
I'm going to disney with my bf's family. We have a five day hopper and plan to spend another day in Sea World. Most of my meals are paid for, I only need to eat a total of 5 or 6 meals in the park. Then another meal will probably be at Planet Hollywood, Hard Rock Cafe, etc. So how much would I need for the meals for just me, souvenirs, and one of those autograph books?|||I would say that a rough, conservative estimate should be about $500.00.
Gifts, meals, and so on......they're not cheap there.
I'm looking at New York New York, Planet Hollywood, Monte Carlo and Ballys. All are pretty close in price. I'm traveling with a group of people in their 20's and we want somewhere affordable but fun.|||Steer clear of Bally's, which attracts a middle-aged crowd. Planet Hollywood has chic rooms and a young vibe which sounds great for your group. New York-New York has a similar atmosphere, but much smaller rooms and it's at the south end of the Strip. Monte Carlo has quick access to CityCenter next door, a mixed crowd of all ages, and nice rooms, plus a pool that's less busy than others.
In the same price range, you could also consider TI (Treasure Island), farther north up the Strip, or the GO rooms at the Flamingo. Have fun!|||theyre all actually pretty reasonable considering its not a holiday or weekend when you're there.. like u said they are similar in price, and most regular rooms are around $1OO. Out of the ones you listed, I personally like Plannet Hollywood for their designs and amazing indoor mall.. it feels like heaven (litterally... clouds everywhere, journey music, etc.) BUT if you're trying to save you could stay somewhere without a theme like La Quinta or Motel 6.. but whats the point of going to LV if you dont wanna show out?|||mandalay bay. Its a fun casino and rooms are reasonable. go sign up Om their sight now and they send hotel offers and discounts all The time. . i stayed there and it was great. they have a Nice pool. it Has real imported sand a wave pool and a lazy river regular pools too and they have The shark reef there which was kinda cool. rum jungle which is a club and and lots Of lounges. i recommend it. hope i helped.|||Vegas is one of the cheapest places in the country to get hotels! I would suggest going to expedia or priceline, and entering your travel date, and what star rating and amenities you are looking for...it will narrow down the choices for you...and trust me, you will be surprised at how cheap some of them are! You can get hotels for like $30 a night!|||You need to go "off strip" if you want to save money. The New Orleans is a good choice. There are free buses that go to the strip every 10 minuets or so, and the hotel itself has plenty of restaurants, casinos, free shows etc, to keep you having fun while you are there.|||There are lots of hotels in Vegas where you can save money but have a great time. You can stay at Budget Rent Flamingo Hotel, Budget Suites of America, Four Seasons Hotel and many more.|||Your mentioned hotels are fine because they have good room rates. Other fine hotels are also MGM Grand and Flamingo. You always get the best price if you book your room with a promo code, check http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com for the latest codes and offers.|||Excalibur! Thats an awesome place and they're like one of th best if not the best haha. Luxor also is, but they're prices can be sometimes a little pricey, but they shouldn't be too much. Try one of those! Good luck! :)
I never been to vegas but i'm planning my trip to go very soon. I'm 24 and going with my boyfriend 25(NOT getting married lol). what would be a good atmosphere for us?
I was thinking Planet Hollywood|||Hard Rock??? EXACTLY "NOT" what you want...it is 1) NOT on the strip as the other answer said, but mostly 2) is the spot for immature drunken drama kings/queens to go to for 'crazed and drunken off-the-wall behavior"...uh, 3) there's a reality show going on at the property focused around their 'daytime' pool party...and are VERY focused on their nighclub scene!!!...so THREE or more of your days of the week are focused on party-party-party crowd (the other 4 are hangover recovery days at best...LOL)
Anyway...higher end...go with Bellagio, it has one lounge (Caramelo) and one nightclub (The Bank), neither one has BIG capacity (Caramelo= 100+/- and The Bank=1500 max per the manager, in Vegas, that's tiny but Caramelo would have a better/more mature crowd of the two) and the property is more focused on the beauty/luxury of the property decor. (You'll fall in love with the decorative themes they have in a large space just off the front desk area and just outside their 24 hour cafe/restaurant).
Next step down...probably go with Paris. It also does not focus the property on a "party nightclub scene" but is very central to "The Strip"...easy walking to everywhere...including next door to Planet Hollywood...but MUCH classier and much better restaurants. (The nightclub at Planet Hollywood was recently closed, reopened after a month or more, because they were allowing drunken nakedness and/or sex acts to take place inside their club...enough and frequent enough the government officials shut it down..in Vegas, that's pretty bad!!!..not warned any further...shut down!!!) some might be into that, sounds like you want to avoid that scene...also I have blacklisted their club due to the rudeness they had with two friends of mine, a medical doctor and real estate developer in their late 30/early 40's.). Their "tiny" casino has a large focus on the go-go dancer themed blackjack pit and the girls dance their way through the casino on shift changes...doesn't sound like the place you're looking for to me. Also... PH's brazilian themed restaurant has gotten bad reviews from at least 3 of my friends/family that have gone there, "I" have NEVER had above standard service in any of their restaurants, and that was only once....but the rooms are 'okay' for people looking for nothing more than a place to crash, the hotel management have an 'okay' record with people I know that've stayed there.
Paris, romantic and mature, not based around a nightclub scene...Mon Ami Gabi is a fabulous restaurant with a view of the Bellagio fountain show...the rooms are cheaper than Bellagio, etc...and across the street from it...and you'd probably enjoy taking a ride to the top of the eiffel tower...there's a 'pricey' restaurant up there too. (the Eiffel Tower's huge, but 1/3 the size of the real one!!!....New York/New York hotel has a Statue of Liberty, also the 1/3 scale...etc but it's indoor rollercoaster and midway may be an issue for you.)
Mandalay Bay, plenty of nighclub crowd and lots of 'working girls' in the casino at night...Wynn/Encore and Venetian/Palazo have HUGE nightclubs with MASSIVE lines of people waiting to get in...as in over 200+....on a regular night.
Excaliber/Luxor, tacky themes...Mirage would be okay, but small and pricier rooms...Treasure Island, small and nighclub focused (especially Fri/Sat and Monday, locals party night!!)
Caesar's place...lots of nice things...love the shops and 'statues that come to life' (very cool/fun shopping spot, even if you don't buy anything)...but the nighclub (Pure) is a MEGA club and features the Pussycat Dolls casino outside it...and the Pussycat Dolls nightclub spot towards/at the front part of the club itself.
Let me know if you don't like the Paris idea, with feedback, I'll help direct you to the most appropriate location.|||The PH or Mirage should do you well. They have excellent locations and mostly cater to people your age. Location is very important in Vegas. Getting around is not easy and involves a lot of walking. The hotels are really huge and just walking from one to another is a chore.
Planet Hollywood has and excellent buffet for dinner and next door at the Paris is the best breakfast buffet. A tunnel connects Paris with Bally's. On the other side of PH is the MGM Grand another place worth exploring.
The pool at PH is not so good. Just rather plain and limited hours. The Mirage has a much better pool as well as "Bare" a European style pool (topless) gals get in free guy have to pay. The Mirage is connected to Treasure Island with a free tram. The Mirage, Treasure Island and the Bellagio are the evening destinations. The Mirage has the erupting volcano, TI has the Pirate battle and Bellagio has the dancing fountains.
For great deals on shows, see the link below. This is a ticket discount broker with locations on the Strip. You just have to show up to find out what tickets are available often for half price.
Good luck!
*|||Planet Hollywood is very nice and caters to your age group as does Luxor. You will do well to stay on the Strip, not off at places like Hard Rock or Stratosphere. Walking at night is not advisable in those areas or the walk is too far for most people.
Drunks can be anywhere but casinos do not like them in the mainstread and help them to a cab or their rooms. But expect that if you go to one of those clubs, you may find it not only noisey but those drunk/stoned beyond acceptance.|||Monte Carlo and MGM are pretty good places. I would say NYNY but the crowd there is very immature. A lot of drunk thirty-somethings partying like they're 21!!! Very obnoxious people there and at Excalibur. Nice property but hate the crowd. It's been like that every time I've gone so I don't go unless I'm gonna watch a show or eat.
The Mirage or TI would be pretty good places. The crowd has some families so the people are very behaved and tamer than at other hotels. Food's good, staff are nice and rooms are pretty comfy and you're in a prime spot!|||NYNY, ESPN zone bar, rides, casino. Shorter to trudge thru to get outside. Taxi stand outside. Next door to Monte Carlo Diablo Bar and grill.

Here is a page full of helpful tips for first time visitors.|||Planet Hollywood is perfect for you guys, Hard-Rock has a load of hot girls unless you dont mind your BF looking at other chicks, a mature hotel would be the Mirage, Venetian, Wynn or Bellagio|||Based on the statement "no time for drama and drunken idiots"....

I only ask because I called Planet Hollywood Towers to book a room for two nights and they gave me a different rate than the site did (this was all in the same day too). They also said they had a AAA discount available too.|||Often, you get better deals booking directly with the hotel than through a travel site. Usually the hotel has the same rates on its own site that it will give you over the phone. But they don't always have all the available discounts, such as AAA, listed. It can definitely be worth it to call and book directly with the hotel to guarantee that you're getting the best possible deal.|||There are some hotels on the strip that offer great deals during the week. Some as low as $60 per night. I like using hotel websites to find good deals. I dont think that you will get a better deal if you call

* 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
* 2 pounds Chicken breast cut in 1-oz. tenders
* Vegetable oil for frying
Directions:
Coarsely grind or crush the two cereals and set aside. Beat the egg with milk and set aside. Stir together the flour, onion and garlic powders and black pepper. Set this aside also. Dip the chicken pieces into the seasoned flour. Move around to coat well, then shake off the excess flour. Dip into the egg wash, coating well, then dip into the cereal mixture, coating well. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet to 325 degrees. Drop coated chicken tenders carefully into the hot oil and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes depending on size. Drain and serve immediately with Creole mustard sauce.
This recipe for Planet Hollywood's Captain Crunch Chicken serves/makes 4.|||http://www.quakeroats.ca/cgi-bin/recipe.…|||i made chicken fingers for years at a restauraunt. you need to use egg and a little water to get the crumbs to stick to the chicken. first dip the chicken into flour (to remove any excess moisture) and then quickly into the egg & water mixture (only enough to coat) and then roll them in a bowl of your crumbs. it helps if you cool the prepared chicken with the crumbs on it for a while before you cook them. a little salt and pepper helps.
some people use milk but a crispier/lighter coating can be made only using eggs and a teaspoon or so of water.|||get a box of cereal
pour in large bowl
take a fork or large spoon
press down on the cereal until it's all crumbs.
take your chicken breast/ or part
dunk into bowl with cereal, both sides. and into the pan.
may want to put oil or something into the pan b4 hand so the cereal doesnt come apart or stick to the pan. make sure to flip occasionally.|||Title: Recipe(tried): Captain Crunch Chicken
Use EQUAL amounts of Captain Crunch and Cornflakes. Put them in a ziploc
baggie and crush into fine crumbs. Make a "milk wash" out of 1 egg and a
little milk. Put this to the side. Put some flour in a bowl and add your
favorite seasonings. Roll the chicken in the flour, then dip in the egg wash,
and then roll in the "Crumbs". Repeat steps again and then place in hot oil in
skillet. Fry until golden on each side and tests done. This has a slightly
sweet taste, almost like "Oriental" chicken or something. Tastes WONDERFUL!!|||Absolutely outstanding when served with the Creole Mustard Sauce (recipe follows)

My friends and I are going to Vegas in November and we're all 24-27 years old professionals looking to have a good time. Trying to find the best hotel where the crowd is around our age and not many families. I've heard Planet Hollywood is good, but we were thinking Aria possibly. Prefer on the strip. Thanks!|||Circus Circus
Planet Hollywood
Hard Rock
Hooters|||The Hard Rock and Planet Hollywood are your two best bets. Younger crowds usually flock to one of these two Las Vegas hotels.
The links below will give you more information on both hotels|||I'd also go with Planet Hollywood, probably the best crowd there. I'd stay away from Aria, more older crowd than you expect.
Find the best rates for las vegas hotels at http;//www.mycheapvegas.com
Cheers!|||Any hotel as long as you're old enough, which you are. I love MGM, Ceasers palace, and of course Ballagio. Venetians another good one.|||Palms & Planet Hollywood|||Excaliber was a lot of fun and its more classy but still affordable!|||Aria is fantastic if you dont mind the price
This is for a trip to vegas for a bunch of my friends. Mixed crowd with regards to females and males.......just trying to get some feedback. I've looked into Hard Rock (worried about it being off the strip), Planet Hollywood Towers looks ok, but has mixed reviews, and the Venetian looks to have great nightlife but the hotel itself appears to be old fashioned|||maybe you want to hangout at:
Cobra Kai Jiu-Jitsu
2104 South Highland Avenue
Las Vegas, NV 89102-4622
Sweep the Leg Johnny!!|||You are right about the problem with the Hard Rock is it's location. Same is true with the Palms. Planet Hollywood would be your best choice with it having a younger crowd. Forget the Venetian as it not a party place to stay. You can always enjoy the night life at any hotel. PH puts you right in the center of things on the strip. Forget reviews for the most part. Most are fake or they have a beef with the property over something stupid.|||You don't really say how much budget matters to you. But since you mention Venetian, I assume you are willing to spend a bit. A good pool is probably more important than good clubs, because you can always tai it to any club on the strip.
THEHotel might be a good choice. It has a boutique vibe, even though it has over 1000 rooms, and you can use Mandalay Bay's pool which is one of the best on the strip.
Another good choice might be MGM Grand, Great pool, a couple of clubs.|||There is no "best" hotel for every person 25-30. You need to think about what you are coming to Vegas for.
Some top choices might be:
Encore
Palazzo
Aria
Mandalay Bay|||Venetian and Palazzo are not old fashioned. But the latest pool scene and nightlife is at Encore where they just opened a billion dollar pool/club|||the palms or hard rock. do not pass go. do NOT worry about being off strip. you can cab anywhere anyways. those two will definitely have the most 25-30 demographic getting nekked and jiggy at the pools and clubs. you can't beat the palms for nightlife. with playboy, rain, ghostbar, and moon, you never have to leave the place.
every nice strip hotel has some club that's hip and happening--caesars has pure, venetian tao, encore has xs, luxor has LAX, etc. etc. but for a lot of them that's where the young hip crowd ends. you go to the pool or casino, and the demographic changes significantly. so if you want other young people to party with, go with palms or hard rock.
I made a reservation at Planet Hollywood Resort in Las Vegas. I have not made any payments, just reserved a room, however April 18 and April 19 are sold out. Is it ok to confirm my reservation today and again later on?|||If you reserved online they should have sent a confirmation page to you, and it should confirmed. You can go to their website and verify the confirmation. You can always call the hotel to confirm. They will need your confirmation number.|||get a confirmation number also charge it on Amex (they must hold it for you)|||A lot of places don't require a deposit to book a reservation, so it should still be available. Just make sure you are aware of the terms of your reservation, whether it has to be paid prior to arrival, or at check in, and reasons for cancellation. You are usually able to confirm within a few days of booking depending on how you booked. Go ahead and confirm, so it can put your mind at ease.|||Confirm your rservation ASAP.
Im planning my 21st birthday a few months from now and I cant decide where to stay. It's gonna be 5 or so of my friends going for 3 nights. I'd like to stay at the Encore or Palazzo in the Bella Suite, but I don't want to burden everybody with the higher costs of these hotels. So I'm looking into Planet Hollywood and Caesars now. Does anyone have any recommendations for the hotel and room type?|||I recommend the Flamingo.
We stayed at the Flamingo from 8/29/10 - 9/1/10. The room was $50.00 a night. The rooms at the Flamingo are very nice. The breakfast buffet in the morning and the dinner buffet in the evening were excellent at the Paradise Garden Buffet. Every one who works at the Flamingo was very nice, friendly and helpful. You can even go outside and see the flamingos.|||It all depends on your style, if you are looking for young and trendy, Planet Hollywood for sure or the Palms. Hard Rock is also great, but off the beaten path of the strip. The food is great here, so make sure you research your favorite food and go to a great place, most of the best chefs have restaurants here. YOU MUST SPEND the day at the POOL! so check in early, this is the happening place. The best buffet in my opinion is the Wicked Spoon at the Cosmopolitan. Clubbing can get old, they are all the same, but find a great pool side club, something you cant find many other places and most of the resorts will have great lounge bands. See a show!! something sexy like Zumanity and maybe go to the Duelling Piano Bar at New York New York|||MGM Grand would be a great place to stay. I know someone who recently stayed at Planet Hollywood and really enjoyed it. Keep in mind that you will want to stay somewhere in the middle of the strip, or else it's a total pain in the butt to get around...unless you really want the exercise. Encore is pretty far down the strip. The Aria Resort is rated one of the top party hotels, assuming that's what you are going for.|||Encore or Palazzo? Well if your coming with your girlfriend yes but if your going with your buddies, NOO! Planet Hollywood or MGM Grand due to having wet republic there would be the best for your age group! Type of web republic at MGM grand and you'll see what i'm talking about! I would seriously do one of those because one, the cost isnt as high as encore or palazzo Go with MGM They have the same age group and you guys will fill more comfy there. http://www.mgmgrand.com|||Here is a list of reviews and prices: cheapovegas.com

3 days 4 nights at the new planet hollywood. Were are not big gamblers but we are 25 and 26 years old. *we already have the room paid for. Just need to know how much fun, food, shopping money.|||Well from past experiences, I'd say about 800$ more or less just in case. You would like to eat, shop, have fun, and relax. With that much you will be able to get through the vacation and also enjoy yourself, depending upon where you plan to eat,shop and gamble. It all depends on you. Hope you have a nice, relaxing, safe trip :)|||A few hundred each should be enough. There are a lot of cheap places to eat in Vegas, and lots of kitschy souvenir shops with cheap gifts. (Also lots of upscale shops, too, so it depends on where your tastes are!). A lot of times you can drink for free if you're gambling-- you just have to tip. If you go that route, set a limit beforehand on how much you want to spend gambling. It doesn't have to be a lot-- even the penny and nickel slots are fun! (If you decide to gamble a little)|||unless you are ballers, plan 100 $a person a day. if you are not big gamblers. this should get you a meager breakfeast and lunch with a decent dinner with a little extra for gambling and misc.|||$1000 just because of the way prices are going up and for the gas prices but that is my approxiamtion me and my family bring and we are a family of 4|||A few hundred dollars would be good. I wouldn't spend all of it depending on the luck, But maybe 100 to 150 would be good.|||take all your money. the state of nevada is having a budget crisis and we need retards to come throw all their money at us in the casinos|||1 to 2 thousand|||thats what every one thinks,but all to soon you need your car title and home deed to get that really good winning hand or make that slot machine pay off big time|||This entirely depends on what you want to do. Las Vegas has gambling from penny slots to $500 slots. Places to eat from Taco Bell to Wolfgang Puck's Spago. You can just walk around and sight see for free, take the bus, take the Monorail, take a taxi or limousine to get around.
So, you can get by very cheaply or the sky is the limit. If you intend to see any of the top shows, purchase your tickets before you go. They are almost impossible to get once you are in Las Vegas. There is a place called Tickets2nite located near the Big Coke Bottle on the South Eastern part of the Strip. It sells same day tickets for half price but mostly to the regular shows, not the big ones.
Eat breakfast at the buffet next door to you at Paris and you will not have to eat again until dinner. The Buffet in Planet Hollywood is good for dinner as well.
You certainly do not want to waste money but be willing to enjoy yourselves, too. What we usually do when we go is budget to see one major show, have one dinner in a top restaurant (usually the last full evening) and take it easy on the spending the rest of the time.
Be advised, there is a lot of shopping opportunity. My wife always spends too much.

We will be staying at Planet Hollywood for six days. Should we take the shuttle from the airport or is a taxi more economical? I know it will be pretty hot, and although I expect for us to walk to some places the distances between attractions can be pretty long. We would like to explore downtown- didn't have a chance to do this on our last trip. Please let me know about the most economical and safest ways one can get around Las Vegas.|||For Planet Hollywood, it might be cheaper to take a shuttle than get a cab. A shuttle runs like $15 per person round trip, so you get a ride to your hotel and then back to the airport at the end of your trip.
Luckily you are staying right in the center of the strip, so nothing that you would want to see on the strip will be too far away, all within walking distance. To cool off, try walking through hotels as you pass them to take advantage of the air conditioning. It's also a great way to sightsee.
To go downtown, you will have to take the bus. There are bus stops in front of every hotel on the strip so you never have to walk far to find one. The buses pride themselves on having you wait no more than 15 minutes for the next bus to arrive. The cost is $3 one way, $7 for a one day pass, or $15 for a 3 day pass.|||If it were me, I'd rent a cheap car from Dollar or Enterprise. You can get one for less than 40 bucks a day. It will be hot and if you are not used to the heat you can get sick outside walking around. You want to go downtown and that would be a long Deuce ride with many many stops. But with a car you can go where you want and not pass out from dehydration or a heat stroke.|||For one or two people the shuttle is the best way. You won't get there real fast as it stops at all the hotels to drop off the other riders. You may be lucky and be the first but it always seems to be the last.
The bus is your best choice to get around the strip or the monorail. A taxi will cost because of the traffic which usually comes to a crawl for a good part of the day and evening.|||Since you are staying on the strip, the best way to get around the strip and downtown is to use the Deuce (bus). A 24 hour pass cost $7 and well worth it.
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/cat.php
Taking a shuttle from the airport is economical if one or two people are travelling. If you are more than 2, then a taxi ride will be cheaper and faster.
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/taxi-fare鈥?/a>|||One or two people, take the shuttle. Three either or the price is about the same. To get downtown you will have to take a taxi or the Deuce, which is the bus. Exact change required can be a bit scary late at night. Not the best of company on the bus.
You will only need to take one trip Downtown. Seen it once you''ve seen it all.

Also, where would you suggest I play? I am staying at paris and friends are staying at planet hollywood. I heard paris's poker room sucks and caseres is nice, but I wanted to hear what people thought would be good. Has anyone played in planet hollywood?|||If you're going to paly a 5/10 NL you'd better bring some $$$. I wouldn't feel comfortable with less than $500. You need to check with the different casinos as they may vary the buy-in amount. If you go to bestofvegas.com, it will give you all the info need on all the major poker rooms.|||Well,
It depends on how good of a player you are, and what your strengths are. If you think you not only have an edge against the table you are sitting at preflop, but also postflop, in terms of decision making, then you would want to buy in from the most money they allow you to buy in for. On the other hand if you either feel that while you are playing better preflop poker than the rest of the table, they are better than you postflop, or if you just feel that the table is better than you overall, you are better off buying in for the minimum amount they let you buy in for, because then you can avoid tricky post flop decisions, and just play a tight solid preflop game, and shove all in with the short stack when you hold good preflop hands and some very preflop-aggressive player raises, and so forth.
So this is what you should think about when you are trying to decide how much to buy in for.|||For 5/10 No Limit? I've been told 100 x the BB, but I'm sure you don't have 10 grand laying around. I would say at min $1,000, it's NL after all.
For 5/10 NL your best bet is playing at the Belliago.
I have played at Planet Hollywood. Nice Poker room and they have very good tournaments. You won't find a lot of people wanting to play 5/10 NL at PH. Mostly 1/2 NL.|||Great site for info on the poker scene in Las Vegas

My husband and I will be staying at the Planet Hollywood Casino. I would like to know what kind of inexpensive restaurants is near? I'm looking to spend around $35 dollars for the both of us. Any of your advice is much appreciated.|||McD, BK, Wendy's, Subway, Chipotle, Pizza Hut.
Possibly Firefly Tapas Kitchen at 3900 Paradise Rd.
For (2) to eat for $35, your VERY limited.|||Ellis Island at Koval Lane and Flamingo. The steak special is $7.99. Not on the menu, but ask for it. You will not be disappointed.|||Caesars Palace has a really good selection in their food court. Its all pretty nice stuff too.
There is also Chipotle, Peppermill, and then the GIANT food court across the street from the Wynn.
Peppermill is awesome though...its sort of like a diner. Really cheese inside. You will love it!
There's no planet Hollywood either; however, there are quite a few 'TGI - Fridays' and right next to 101 there is Warner village with a cinema complex and another American themed restaurant called 'Rosie Malone's'.
On An-He road there is a pub which is always open and it's called Carnegie's, it is also a 'rock' themed pub and Westerners regularly go there to eat as well as drink!|||Hi,
Both Planet Hollywood and HRC were unsuccessful here and closed down quite a few years ago.|||In Taichung we have a Chili's restaurant in the "Tiger City' mall and quite a few TGI Fridays. Thats about it for the 'upscale' chain restaurants from the west at the moment. Usually the ones that succeed have done some homework to make their product appeal to the Taiwanese market. Those that don't, obviously haven't or didn't try to adjust to the competitive restaurant market that exists here or just got unlucky with their choices of business contacts here. People here don't automatically adopt all that Americans like, unlike what some believe.
If you are looking for western style alternatives:
Mos Burger is present all over. And McDonalds/KFC is everywhere even the smaller towns have those.
In Taichung alot of people go to Fingas, Fattys, FM Station is a popular chain restaurant here that has some good interpretations of western food mixed with popular Taiwanese and Chinese style choices, Salut has wicked pizza, Uncle Jimmy's is another popular choice for western type foods.
I believe I ate at a Texas Grill style restaurant in Kenting- perhaps that was a Hard Rock Cafe- anybody have any idea what that place is called- I havent been there for 2 years so the memory is pretty shaky.|||There is a Hooter's!
We stayed at Bellagio last year, for my first visit to Vegas, and we loved the atmosphere when around PH when we got on the strip out of the Bellagio.
We want to stay at PH this year but we are only available for one night. Does anyone have any idea how I can get around there 2 night minimum stay rule? Or does anyone have suggestions on other places to stay that are kinda "nicer" and party atmosphere? (on the strip please)|||I just tried through their site, for the date you listed, and it does require a 2 night minimum stay, likely because it's a Saturday. That's fairly common. I don't know of a way around that unfortunately.
You might want to look at MGM, which is near PH and is a fun place, and a nice hotel. Luxor has been catering to a younger crowd lately and has the LAX nightclub. But it's not nearly as nice a place. Treasure Island often has a good party crowd, and it's near Mirage (with Jet) and Venetian (with Tao), both of which are also nice places to stay.|||Unless you have a special priced offer that makes it mandatory to stay for two nights to get the discount. I went on their site and immediately they offered pricing for one night stay. Not sure where you read that limitation.|||I am assuming you are trying to check in on a Saturday...most Saturday check in's at PH require a 2 night min. I don't believe there is a workaround for this.
Have an offer for free rooms at either or and was wondering what were the pros and cons of staying at each place. Not just talking about quality of rooms, but things like atmosphere, type of crowd (ex. couples vs. bachelor parties) things like that.
For what it's worth, I'm a single guy in my mid 30's. May have 1-2 other guy friends going. Not really into hard core clubbing and such but WOULD be open to meeting women (say late 20's/early 30's)
Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!|||This is rapidly becoming one of my favorite places to go when we go to the Strip There are TONS OF HOT GIRLS HERE OMFG YOU WILL GO NUTS. Here's why:
- The vibe. The place attracts a younger crowd that has a lot of energy.
- Bars & Lounges. They have a wide variety of bars and lounges. On a recent visit we spent some time at the Heart Bar....a DJ was playing and the drinks were reasonable....$8 for a glass of Wine.
- Miracle Mile Shopping mall. This mall is pretty cool with some unique shops and dining options. The Earl of Sandwich is at the South end of the mall.....one of my favorite Sandwich shops in town.
- Restaurants. From cheap, food court type food to nice sit-down restaurants, there is something for everyone here. One of the highlights is Pink's from Los Angeles which is known for their Hot Dogs.
- Easy access to the Strip. The distance between the property and the Strip is short, making it easy to get to/from the Strip.
There are a few negatives to the place. Rooms decoration are very cheesy which star trek pictures of captain kirk. I was like WTF
The parking situation sucks. The parking garage is at the rear of the property and the walk to the casino is pretty far. Valet parking is underground and is also a big pain the ***. This is a function of very poor design which has plagued this hotel since they opened. The layout of the casino floor is very confusing....it's difficult to figure out where you are located and how to get around. The pool was a nightmare on it's own. If you are not there at the crack of dawn to grab a seat, you're screwed. Oh, and the best part? It's hot as all hell outside but when you dip your toes in the pool, it's like you are about to jump into the arctic sea. The water in the pool is just BEYOND freezing, even on a hot summer day, it was just painful to sit in the pool.|||PH has the younger set attitude though Paris is very nice. Regardless where you sleep, you can enjoy the vibe/fun at any casino hotel/club|||if your in your 30's Planet Hollywood is probably the better bet. Paris attracts a little older crowd very laid back and more of a couples scene.
My boyfriend and I will be going to Las Vegas for the national finals rodeo and are looking for some other things to do while we're there. We've been there before, but haven't really experienced the nightlife part of Vegas and we're interested in doing more "adult" oriented things. I was thinking about having dinner at the restaurant at the Stratosphere, and I'd like to see Peepshow, but I'm not sure if it's really worth the cost. Also, the last time we went, Tao nightclub looked amazing, but the line to get in was insane...is there any way to get in without waiting in the crazy long line? Any information on these, or additional entertainment and dining suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :)
Almost forgot...we're also up for regular strip clubs too, not necessarily just adult shows. But which ones are the best?|||Enjoy way better than a sttrip show off Strip|||Peepshow is fantastic, you can read two interviews with Josh Strickland and Angel Porrino on http://www.vegasallnight.com! Report Abuse
|||peepshow, I can sum it up! Fake enlarged ****. Fake hair dyed blonde! Nose job! Some starvation to look good in the costumes.
Saphire behind Circus Circus is a strip joint on Industrial Rd. Plenty of parking.
OG called Olympic Garden on the Strip on Wyoming is gals strip downstairs, men strip upstairs. Parking avail.
Enjoy the PH. It is a nice place. They have some of the best rooms on the Strip.
My advice (been there 6 times)
- Buy a pair of comfortable walking shoes. You will be walking around more than anything. Everything looks so close together until you walk there.
- Do not make any plans. The only thing that really requires plans is if you want to see a big show (O, Cirque de Soleil, Bette Midler), you may need to buy those tickets in advance. There are many other smaller productions, has been singers, up and coming singers, that perform 5 nights a week, but you can usually buy those tickets the day of. There also also lots of comedy clubs, too. The best thing to do is decide when you are there what you want to do.
- The same goes for restaurants. There are lots of good places. You do not need reservations to most of them. Planet Hollywood has a good buffet. Most upscale hotels have a nice buffet. Some of the more rundown places have a cheaper, more rundown buffet. You will get what you pay for.
- If you do not mind getting mailers from casinos about upcoming room deals, sign up for as many player's clubs as you can. Every casino offers them. This is the casino's way of keeping track of how much you are gambling. If you gamble enough, you get free stuff (meals, rooms, discounts). You do have to gamble a lot, but if you go back every couple of years, you may be able to build up enough points to get a free room.
- If you are going there with a spouse, watch out for people offering you tickets to a show (they never state which show, they just ask if you are interested in tickets to 'a show'). They are legit (legally, at least), but you have to first sit through a time share presentation. Unless you plan on buying a time share, stay away from those pushy people. And they are on a lot of places on the strip (not everywhere, you will learn where they are). They usually leave single people alone.
If you tell them you are leaving tomorrow, they will leave you alone as well.
- Check out Downtown at least one night. It is kind of disappointing compared to the Strip, but it has its charm. They offer several nice light shows every night on Fremont St (search Fremont St on Youtube) and other free entertainment. Downtown does not have have the amazing buildings and lights that you see on the Strip. You can see everything from one point. If you go there during the day, you can see how rundown it is. However, Downtown is where you will find cheap food, cheap booze, loose slots, cheap hotel rooms, and cheap tables. And if you are there at night, it is a lot of fun.
- Before you go, watch the original Ocean's 11 movie with the Rat Pack (not the re-make). It is a good movie to see what the Strip was like in 1960. I always like to watch some Vegas movies before I head out.
- If you plan on gambling a lot, visit site like www.wizardofodds.com and learn which games have the best advantage for the player and how to play those games. This can help you spread out your gambling money further.
Other than that, just go out there and have fun. I can't tell you what to do as there is too much to do. |||walk around the strip..or take a cab..

which would you rather stay in and why? its just a 2 night stay.|||Planet Hollywood.
It is newly remodeled.|||Stay at the Signatue at MGM Grand. it is directly across from the MGM on the strip and they are Suites Not just ordinary hotel rooms. Stay at Jet Luxury Resorts @ Signature MGM Grand and get a suite for the same price (or lower because they will beat any quoted price from the MGM). see this page!!! It has virtual tours so you see what you are really getting.
http://www.jetluxuryresorts.com/signature-mgm-grand/index.cfm|||I would go with Planet Hollywood because it's all brand new. And it's closer to the center strip.
Room quality at either property is going to depend on which room you select. There are 5 or more different price levels of rooms you can choose at either property when you book. Choose the cheapest room and it's not going to impress you, whether it's MGM or PH.|||It is mostly a matter of personal taste or preference. Personally, I would select Planet Hollywood. It is much more conveniently located. MGM Grand is much too large. It is a long walk just to get from the parking lot or front desk to your room. That eats up a lot of time and energy. At Paris there is way less walking.
If you have never been to Vegas you have no idea how much walking is involved.
*|||I would definetly stay at the Planet Hollywood. It's location is much better than the MGM. And the rooms are nicer.
The MGM is just too big and kinda boring and dull.
Plus Planet Hollywood has a really cool mall attached with tons of good restaurants.|||I will stay at the MGM Grand. The rooms are really nice, the service is great and there are lots to do at the MGM Grand. They also have lots of deals and discounts when you book using their promotion codes.

thank you|||Its kinda like a Hard Rock Cafe. I just has a lot of memorabilia of celebrities. I think they have closed most of them though.|||um i think its the kind of restaurant where u eat......... but im not sure :)|||Over-hyped & overpriced. Chances of seeing a celeb in one is slim to none.

It's still the Aladdin.
Which hotel is better?? In quality and service and which has better rooms? Thanks!|||Dude, don't even think about staying at planet Hollywood. Monte Carlo is one of the best hotel in Vegas, and features some great services, in some rooms you even get a fridge(most hotels don't offer this). A fridge can be used to store water, because nothing is free in Vegas, except for those free hooker cards. Monte Carlo's theme is also wonderful. It's design is unique and is located in the heart of the strip. Also the room rates are resonable so you don't spend more on your room than on gambling.|||I would stay at the monte carlo cuz its really cool and some movies were filmed there but thats just me|||Planet Hollywood has a hotel? I wouldn't even eat there let alone stay there.
I have stayed at the Monte Carlo, it's a very good hotel with good services.|||I would stay at the Disney land hotel. Mickey moue is their and its amazing!!!!!! Plus they have a call girl service :-)|||i have stayed at the monte carlo.the rooms are nice but i was not impressed.if it was me i would choose planet hollywood.the monte carlo has a great pool area though.|||Monte carlo|||Monte Carlo for a few reasons. Number 1; its a nice place and it's smaller. I say this because if your a toursit looking to walk places it is much much easier if the hotel and casino aren't gigantic or it will take you a 20 min walk just to get out and on to the next casino by foot. However; it is definitely not a small place, there are plenty of restaurants, bars and shops and gambling to keep yourself busy. Number 2; Planet Hollywood (formerly Aladdin) is undergoing construction. And it was designed poorly, thats why they were losing so much money and had to sell to Hollywood. The entrance to your room is only after walking 15 minutes through the mall What a pain with all your luggage.

2 21 year olds first trip to vegas, which would be the best for us to stay at in terms of fun for people our age? thanks|||Well the Wynn is certainly the best hotel from these options. Personally I think it's the best hotel in Vegas period! I've stayed in almost all of the hotels on the strip. The Luxor is fun too. MGM is nice but I always feel like there is an older crowd there. I'm not too familiar with Planet Hollywood yet. I really like the Wynn...it's top of the line and the clubs they have are fun.|||I'm going to go off your list, hopefully you've got some flexibility.
The Palms is great for 21 year olds and so is Mandalay Bay.
If you are bound by your choices above, MGM is considered a much better hotel than the Luxor (the Luxor is the mid level hotel in the Mandalay Bay series, Excalibur being the poor mans hotel).
Planet Hollywood is all hype. The place is dead more often than it is busy.|||Putting them in order from best to not as much for your age range (but it's all based on the amenities and the qualities that you're looking for too)
1) Planet Hollywood. It's got an upscale, hip hollywood feel, and attached to it is a pretty good sized mall called the Miracle Mile. The buffet is good and VERY filling, some fun shows to be seen at this hotel as well like Stomp out loud, "V", Steve Wyrick: Real Magic, etc.
2) Luxor. It's in the midst of undergoing some style changes.. there isn't much in the way of Egypt happening in this hotel anymore, it's like they're trying to go along the same lines as Planet Hollywood. The pyramid rooms are just cool, too. :) The cafe here is good, the buffet is just ok but it may have been revamped recently, so I'm not sure on that. Several shows to be seen here too.. Fantasy, Carrot Top, and Criss Angel's "Believe" (I don't recommend it.. poor reviews from all of the guests I've ever booked for the show and I was ready to leave halfway through when we saw it a couple of weeks ago. It is NOT a magic show...) One of the best things about this hotel is that it is directly connected to the Mandalay Bay and Excalibur by enclosed walkway AND a tram (mini-monorail style).
3) MGM Grand - I'm basing this in third over Wynn mainly on location of the strip (4 corners is what I call it, it's a hot area) and amenities. The prices for food at this hotel are high no matter how you look at it.. most of it is overpriced for what you get, as well (in comparison to other hotels). There is a lot to do and see here.. one of the Cirque du Soleil shows "KA" is here; AMAZING show though it hits the pocketbook a little hard. Be prepared for $130 to $180 per ticket.
4) Wynn. Don't get me wrong, this is my favorite resort in the city.. just gorgeous. Very upscale. Some nice ultra lounges and hip clubs to hit up... and is just across the street from Fashion Show Mall, Treasure Island and the Venetian/Palazzo. Expect anywhere between $199 and $399 a night for their resort rooms, which are very much worth what you get (The room's amenities make you feel like royalty.. the bed is heavenly, too!). This resort requires a $200 per day deposit when you check in, which some guests are not prepared for. So just a heads up. The best buffet in town is located here (in my opinion)... it's worth going for the desserts alone. Amazing!|||If you are looking to party look at MGM or Planet Hollywood, Mgm has studio 54 and PH has Prive and The Playing field, all good for your age group, these places have in the past charged a cover, although depending on the day and with the economy the way it is they can be discounted or you maybe able to get free tickets from the hotel.
Check out www.vegas.com for other clubs that maybe appealing to you.
Have fun and good luck!|||Well the Palms is probably one of the best if not the best for 21 year olds but thats like a mile or so from the Strip soooo out of those I suggest Planet Hollywood...
We're about the same age and stayed there this Summer an I really liked it a lot! There was a lot of places to drink, eat, and shop|||I'd stay at Planet Hollywood if I were you. Location, location, location and more affordable than Wynn. Very close to all the happening spots for your age. I think Luxor is too far south to even bother with. MGM Grand is at the south end of the strip also, but not as far as the Luxor.|||All are pretty close to one another so all will be "fun", its just a matter of price... Wynn is the most expensive then you have PH, MGM and Luxor.

i can beleive they had all those stuff
its better than the one in new york|||Im excited about it.. havent been yet.. I am hoping they will open one in Khobar soon.. Im sure theyve started plans on it.. they always open up stuff here as well... a matter of time..
Still waiting for our brand new Ikea to open also... |||it is awesome and i like the place
but the food taste is not the one that makes u go back again
thanx :)|||I hated it! It was not authentic, the food was bad...i would never go there again!
im going to stay there when i visit vegas im kinda pissed cus its a 4 star hotel. i wanted a 5 star hotel but my mom so is cheap!
is that a good hotel? tell me about it. like waht is inside and stuff. is it worth staying in ?
thanks|||You know, in Vegas you don't spend too much time in your room anyway. You could stay at a 2 star hotel and not really even notice. While the 5-star hotels in Vegas such as Wynn and Bellagio give me the feeling of sophistication, Planet Hollywood Hotel gives me the feeling of fun. It makes me think of an upper class party hotel. If you go to their website, they have pictures of their guest rooms, which are beautiful. Plus they have one of the best buffet's in Vegas. There are also the Miracle Mile Shops which should be nice, and they have tons of shows. It's brand new, they bought the Aladdin hotel and gave it a makeover.
Why would you want to spend extra money on a hotel room when you could be spending it on something much better in Vegas?!|||it is really pretty and nice i went to vegas not that long ago and we saw that hotel it looked nice inside and outside so have fun!!|||Its nice....GO FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF!!! EVERYONE HAS DIFFRENT OPIONS|||why dont you pay for a 5 star then you ungrateful brat. your mom sounds real cheap taking you on a trip to vegas. You have it so bad....wahhhhhhhhhhh!|||Come on now! PH a great hotel. It's newly renovated, clean, comfortable, plenty of amenities, wide open casino, good shopping, shows and buffet to boot! Just because it's more affordable than say Bellagio or the Wynn, doesn't make it any less better than them. They also have upscale suites which are expensive too. FYI. Go and enjoy it! You won't be disappointed I promise. It's also centrally located on the Strip which is great for walking around and visiting all the other casinos!
I'm going to Vegas and I can't decide. Can some people give me their opinion?|||Planet Hollywood has a younger crowd, better shopping, better clubs, a better buffet and generally just a much better vibe. Unless you're looking for a romantic getaway, I'd stay at Planet Hollywood.|||Have stayed at Paris and have a reservation for November at Paris. I loved the room that we get at Paris. It's the Premium room (P room) and it has fantastic views of the Bellagio Fountain. I enjoy the food and shopping options at Paris. The Paris buffet is fantastic. I always seem to have luck at Paris. The Paris is connected to Bally's by the shopping area. I can go out the Bally's entrance - cross Flamingo Ave. and be inside Bill's in minutes. Then out of Bill's and into Flamingo. What's great about all of that is if it's an extremely hot summer day or one of the frigid December days I don't have to worry about it as much.
.
Harrah's properties seem to comp better the PH. Just by using my player's card consistently I haven't paid for a room at any of the Harrah's properties in 7 years.
I have only played at PH and the buffet is average for a property like PH.
I like the location of Paris much better then PH. It is closer to center strip and it doesn't have as much construction going on by it.
Bev|||Paris Paris Paris. It is right by Bally's and across from Caesars Palace and Bellagio.
Planet Hollywood is nice but you are really close to the 24/7 construction across the street of City Center|||Younger crowd at Planet Hollywood and they just finished remodeling .. Both are equal in most everthing else. Great locations and services. You can't go wrong with either.|||planet hollywood is better i am working on one of p-h new towers its called west gate i am a union electrican i live in las vegas my # (702)769-4921|||paris has wonderful hand painted ceilling it is 1 of the best place to shop be sidesthe baligo it has grate food too
We are going for our 1 year wedding anniversary. We are 23 years old and are stuck between PH and NY-NY. What do you think would be a better choice for us?|||Planet Hollywood is better for young folks. Or, I'd suggest you look into Mandalay Bay, The Palms, and the Hard Rock. If I were 23 these would be my choices.|||PH might be more your choice for your age group with its entertainment but then you can enjoy the entertainment and not stay at the hotel.
NYNY is in the heart of much of the action, with Monte Carlo next door, Tropicana across one corner, MGM Grand across one corner, and Excalibur, Luxor and Mandalay Bay on the other.
Me, I would go to NYNY|||I'd go to NY NY. It is a fun place and there are some great clubs there for nightlife. Good restaurants AND the roller coaster. Its easy access to the hotels at the south end of the strip: Excalibur, Mandalay Bay, Luxor, MGM, Monte Carlo.
Planet Hollywood is still trying to find its customer base. Its newer, but if you get a better rate at NY NY, go for it. Since they redid the front of PH, I think its ugly with a capital U. It still feels like the Aladdin inside to me.
It doesn't really matter where you stay, you'll have a great time on your anniversary because you are having fun together!|||They are within a short walking distance from each other and I will definitely pick NY NY. Great hotel, great rates. NYNY have deals for $64 /night weekday check-in.Here is the code you will need.|||Both are pretty hip places for your age group. The question is.....How much money you have.
If money is no object.....stay at PH. If you'll be partying on a budget....go with NYNY.
Either way, you'll have lots of fun.
Enjoy.|||PH.

It's ok.|||yeah...HARD ROCK in Vegas...all the motercycles!!!!!!!yummy!!|||Yeah! i've beent to them. They are in New York. They are pretty good. I can't say that the food is "to die for" though.|||HARD ROCK CAFE.
the planet hollywood food SUCKS.|||Yes ,,,,,,,,,,, once in San Diego !!
Hard Rock was awsome !!|||Yes. I preferred Hard Rock. I was at both when I lived in Manhattan. Hard Rock was cool in a cheesy way, Planet Hollywod was just cheesy.|||been to both, not that big of a deal.|||The food is better in Hard Rock. Plus I have a VIP Membership so I dont have to wait to be seated.|||Hard to beat the HArd Rock in Vegas. I have also been to the ones in Nashville, Chicago, and Nassau. All food is overpriced in my opinion. Planet Hollywood is a wannabe.|||iv been to planet hollywood in canada ..the scenery was nice but the food wasn't that great..for the high prices they have there you would think the food would be awesome|||Sure --
Hard Rock in NYC, Dallas, Cancun, Las Vegas, Houston, New Orleans
Planet Hollywood in NYC, Dallas, L.A.
I liked the HRC's better.|||hard rock cafe in washington d.c alll the way! i love the appitizer queso nachos!!|||I've been to both, although they were in different cities. The atmosphere at Planet Hollywood in Dallas wasn't the best.
The Hard Rock in Nashville was GREAT! The music was blasting and the wait staff were friendly. It really seemed like "the place to be".
The Hard Rock in New Orleans was great, too.
The Hard Rock in Memphis wasn't as awesome as Nashville.
Hard Rock Cozumel super tiny! I think it's supposed to be the smallest. All it really had was the store items and drinks...we only went in for tshirts.|||I think I like Hard Rock better, mostly because they seem more...legit. You know what I mean? It sort of seems like Planet Hollywood is more concerned about being flashy and impressing people and....I dunno. Something. I do like both a lot though. I've only been to the ones in Manhatten, but they were both good. Obviously you never really go to either of those places for the foor, but I think I remember liking Hard Rock's food better too.
My family (11 year-old boy and Grand Parents) will be in Hollywood taking the Warner Brothers Studio Tour, then we will be visiting Graumann's Chinese Theatre. We are looking for a place to eat that hopefully has some "Old Hollywood" signifigance, i.e. Brown Derby not Planet Hollywood. Thanks!|||you gotta try pinks hot dogs or barneys beanery, both have web sites with directions. lots of hollywood type atmosphere. signed star photos and such|||For the Hollywood feel, I would highly recommend:
1. Mel's Diner near the southeast corner of Hollywood and Highland, next to the Hollywood Museun [formerly the Max Factor Museum], with its American Graffiti theme;
2. Miceli's Italian Restaurant ["L.A.'s Oldest Italian Restaurant"] on the eastside of Las Palmas, just south of Hollywood Boulevard, with its wonderful 1935's scenery and live piano bar; and,
3. Lucky Devils Retro-Cafe [6613 Hollywood Blvd.] on the northside of Hollywood Boulevard between Whitley and Hudson Avenues which serves the very best healthy organic fare surrounded by wall-to-wall LCD tv's.
For central parking, visit the city parking lot on the southeast corner of Cherokee and Yucca, a block north of Hollywood on Cherokee and you can walk to all of these recommended eateries.
Enjoy|||Just about any place will be family friendly since it is a tourist area. About one of the more nostalgic restaurants is Musso and Franks along Hollywood Blvd (closed Sundays) although service is rather slow. A short drive to Canters Deli along Fairfax is also famous. For some junk food, Pinks (mostly hot dogs) along La Brea near Santa Monica is hole in the wall shop where it is not surprising to see a stretch limo stop and either the celeb or the driver get out to place an order. It's been around for ages and is the only place that has free attended parking. Try their bacon-burrito dog or pastrami burrito dog or polish sausage burrito dog. Be sure to eat in to see the pictures of some of its patrons. I forget the name of it but there is a "soda fountain" restaurant modeled after one that discovered several old time starlets on Vine just north of Sunset. If you are less prone to nostalgia and more towards choices, the Kodak / Chinese theater complex has several restaurants of moderate to upper scale level. It is next to the Chinese theater. Another location is at Universals City Walk located next to Universal Studios. |||taco bell
Don't know about Hard Rock and Rainforest but Planet Hollywood went bankrupt.|||Only the Hard Rock survives to this day. It's located at 30 Canton Road opposite from the big Harbor City shopping center in Tsim Sha Tsui.|||jw nailed it. canton rd. i didn't know how to get there so we got a map from the hotel we stayed at in march 2007. we took the subway there and it was only a few blocks from it. just remember things are not cheap there. i paid $25 usd for a long sleeve t-shirt. and don't forget, make sure you have what you want because when you get a receipt, you can't return it even if you're still in the store. they said it's their policy.|||Rainforest also closed down fews years back. It was in Festival Walk, Kowloon Tong.
If I can get the same deal at either hotel which would you choose? We are 3 party gals celebrating my girlfriend's 30th birthday. Is PH more centrally located? Any help is appreciated.|||I would suggest the PH as the MGM is so huge that it takes forever just to get from your room to the strip. PH is better located on the strip. Here is a page with some great tips on your first visit to Vegas. Lots of great information.|||Planet Hollywood is definitely more centrally located, and they have one of the BEST buffets in Vegas. It is located across the street from Bellagio and next door to Paris. There is really only a 15 minute walk between MGM Grand and PH, but if it were the same deal I would choose Planet Hollywood, I think they are both about equal on their amenities, but MGM Grand probably has a better pool area since they have a lazy river and all.
Another thing is, there is a free shuttle to Rio located in the driveway right where PH meets Paris, and Rio has the other BEST buffet in Vegas, and some great night clubs/lounges.
I am actually surprised that you found a deal with PH that was equal to some of the specials that MGM Grand is running, unless it is on a weekend.

South Strip includes most of the action.|||Just went to PH in Oct. for my 35th. It is very fun and def. centrally located. You go to the left and there's NY, NY, Monte Carlo, Luxor, MGM, Mandalay Bay, Excalibur...you go to the right and there's Paris, Bellagio, Caesar's, Venetian, Mirage, TI, Harrah's, Flamingo, Wynn.
Enjoy!
PH has a great mall and nice places to eat like Koi (if you like sushi) and Strip House (if you like steak...and the 24-layer chocolate cake, if you like dessert). They also have a coffee shop/cafe called Dailies which is good for breakfast.|||PH is centrally located and it has a nice casino but I would choose MGM because their great pool areas. But you cannot go wrong with any of these hotels. Have you checked http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com ? You will find there the latest promotion offers for these and other hotels as well.|||PH is better. MGM isnt anything special to me but it is bigger.|||PH is more central, and would probably be more fun for a 30th bday.|||PH is in the middle of Strip and has night clubs you would enjoy
Any 1 know if ill get seated straight away?
Or Chose were I sit? Better quality food..etc
Thanks!|||I have never ate in London, however I have ate at both Planet Hollywood and Rainforest Cafe.
Rainforest Cafe was a fun atmosphere, especially for children. However, the food was fair - but big portions. It was a 45 min. wait - unless you had reservations - then it was a 10 min wait. We didnt ask to sit anywhere in particular - but there are no "bad" spots. Huge giftshop.
Planet Hollywood was more normal - nothing really "special" going on - like the Rainforest. Seating was right away. didnt ask to be sat anywhere special. Food was good.
Atmosphere goes to Rainforest - Hands Down!!!
Food goes to Planet Hollywood.
Service goes to Planet Hollywood.|||both are equally over-priced for their generic food. Stay away and find a local dinery.
you go by the name of designer, yet you didn't show taste w/ these 2 choices.
I think you're referring to our Brainiac event (link below). We were actually on the Marquis of the Hard Rock Cafe. We were there June 13/14/15, and it was a ton of fun. Enjoy scrolling through the stuff on the link to get an idea about what went on. Also, if you click on the blue word "Brainiac" you'll see bio's on each of us.|||what?|||cowboy boots and spurs.|||No. I'm not.|||Yeah. And my dog is sitting on top of Trump Plaza.|||You just wasted 5 points on that???????????|||OF COURSE!!! and my names madonna to!!
I'm considering this hotel, but all the info I'm reading online states that it is "easily accessed by a 5 - 10 min. walk through the Miracle Mile shopping center". I understand that's the best way to get to and from the strip on foot, but is this how you enter/exit even when you arrive by cab from the airport? (I'm trying to imagine schlepping luggage through a mall to get to the lobby!!) Thx!!|||No, PH Towers has its own area for taxi dropoff, which is right near the front desk. Just make sure you are very clear with the driver that you are staying at Towers, or else you will be hauling your stuff through the mall.|||you do not have to use taxi drop off point
When they couldn鈥檛 save Planet Hollywood from bankruptcy?|||So Right You Are!! But why should we listen to them about anything?? They know how to act.|||No Problem!! I Was Thrust Into This Game, So Play On!!! Report Abuse
|||lol...|||They exercise a lot of influence, though people should listen more to the scientists, most of whom agree that global warming is manmade.|||i dont listen to stars bu i would like to save the planet|||Why should we listen to them period???|||Only because they have a platform to speak on...it sucks. They , as a whole, spend a lot of energy on frivolous crap.|||Nope..|||First, they are pretty much the only ones talking about it. Second, Planet Hollywood was run by fascist republican pig men. Not the same thing.|||because they're so much smarter than us unwashed masses.|||Maybe they want to.|||We all love the Baldwin family.|||Most of them are nothing but a bunch of followers who want to remain in the main-stream of popularity among their peers... I consider them as being loud-mouthed and pitiful.
Why can't they put their OWN money where their mouths are?|||lol True.
But all joking aside, I think it's a good thing when a celebrity sincerely (Not just for personal gain in one way or another) uses their publicity to promote public awareness toward world issues. It's better than seeing them in the news for their latest drunken escapade. It's good to see that a few DO want to make a difference.|||lol. But seriously, folks, that is an excellent question in a broader sense. The only reason famous people get their opinions listened to in the media is --because they're famous. Opinions are just that - opinions - and yours have as much weight as anybody else's, unless you are a proven expert in that field.
This reminds me of the time when I was starting out in show biz as an actress, and I went to do summer stock in a small town with a small newspaper and a theater that had been closed for some time. They obviously didn't have a regular theater reviewer for the paper, so they found a truck driver who happened to be off on Monday nights and was willing to do it, and he became the reviewer. I have kept them to this day. When he praised me, I agreed with his opinions!

Phone: +852 2377 7888|||their should be, ther is one everywhere else in the world|||It's not far from the Star ferry on the Kowloon side. I ate there on my trip to Hong Kong in 1997. It was pretty good. They had some movie memorbilia from Hong Kong films such as a wine jar from Jackie Chan's Drunken Master 2. :) I don't know if it's still open. All the Planet Hollywood restaurants have closed in the U.S.|||None in Hong Kong but there is one in Tokyo.|||It is found on 3 Canton Road, Harbour City, Tsim Sha Tsui,
Happy Hour: 5.30pm-7.30pm Sunday-Thursday only; 11pm-close every night.
Open Hours: 11:30am-1am Mon -Sunday|||I don't understand why youjust didn't go to their web site to find out? I often wonder that when people ask questions like this.
Anyway....no, they do not have a restaurant in Hong Kong. Here is a list of their international locations:

I know it's fairly new, & such, but I was wondering whose all stayed there & what you thought about it. I might stay there this March, but I am not sure yet. I'd like to know your opinions :)|||Actually the PH is not new. Its the old Aladdin Hotel and Casino. I like the PH I think its nice. You got the forum shops, you got theaters, clubs, restaurants. Its also in a good location like strip central.|||I didn't stay there, but I went there several times on my last Las Vegas trip because it has three different magic shows, including the one with Pamela Anderson.|||i really liked it...ballys is a little cheaper and right next door...but planet hollywood is nicely done and worth the price|||I stayed there when it was the Alladin, and it was nice! centrally located on the strip and the stores are great! however, I didn't care much for the buffet....
Im going to london next weekend and fancy trying out one of these theme type cafe places, but are they any good?. which is the best one to go to?|||Planet Hollywood has really raised it's game with a great new menu so it's longer just an expensive burger restaurant. They also have some great lunch time and pre theatre deals, 2 courses for about 拢10. Really good value & service.
Rainforest Cafe is oftren full of families and it's mich nosier than Planet & Hard Rock Cafe. The menu is exciting and the decor is brillient. The Rainforest Cafe attracts less tourists and it oftem feels like a Kindergarden....
Hard Rock Cafe is by far the more grown up of the 3, with less children but lots of tourists, and loads of Americans. Food is good, but it would be my 3rd choice out of the 3.
So I'd go for Planet Hollywood, it offers great value, excellent service & it's open until 3am.
just around the corner is Nandos, the best chicken I've ever had and for just 拢6!|||try planet hollywood|||Hello there i have been to Planet Hollywood and the Hardrock cafe but not Rainforest cafe, Why not see if you can get a look at the menus online (quite a few places do this now) and it might help you come to a decsion.None of them is going to be particulalry cheap but you get the ambiance too.I would say planet hollwood if u have kids and hard rock if its just adults but at the end of the day its up to you.Whichever you decide I hope you enjoy|||Definitely Hard Rock Cafe. Planet Hollywood is pricey and not really that cool.
I also agree with the comment above mine, Nando's is the best chicken anywhere.|||they are all tourist-fleecing hellholes. avoid. buy yourself a decent guide and eat like a native, not a rube.|||Hollywood has the best food rainforest is packed with kids hard rock is expensive but good ambience.
Personally i would choose hollywood everytime but my kids would choose rainforest none of us would choose hard rock and we have been to all 3.|||rainforest if you have kids or go to hard rock cafe in the early eve and you may catch the harley davidson riders|||If you can only pick one, I'd go for the Hard Rock. It is the original after all. Planet Hollywood is fun to go to once, but that's about it. Rainforest Cafe...no! It's loud, busy, and we had to wait forever to ever see our waiter and get our food, refills, etc...|||lalalalalalaala|||I much prefer Maud's fish and Chips shop or Tony's Cafe. It's cheaper.|||Hard rock cafe, the original and the best|||Planet Hollywood and Hard Rock Cafe are fun for adults. Rainforest Cafe is fun for kids and families.|||hard rock cafe|||They are all pretty much the same except for the themes. Which ever one you go to you are going to pay $20.00 for a burger. Out of all of them I like the Rain forest Cafe the best, but I love animals. So, if you like music, Hardrock Cafe, if you like Hollywood... Hollywood Cafe.|||If you want to know,go to all 3 cafes,you idiot.|||Hard rock cafe. you cant beat there cobb salad
Here are some of the reasons why I really enjoyed my stay at The Aladdin/Planet Hollywood Casino:
1. It is in VERY close proximity to Bellagio (across the street) and is also very close to Paris (next casino over), MGM Grand, NewYorkNewYork, etc. Very good location on the strip.
2. Has some of the best shopping (aside from Caesar's Forum) on the Strip. It has a large selection of stores, and they are NOT all fancy and overpriced (as you will find at Bellagio and Venetian)
3. They have one of the best buffets in Vegas. The price is actually a little cheaper than some other casinos (like Wynn or Paris) but the quality is just as good and even better for certain things. If you have a rich palette, then Wynn is your bet - but if you're like me and you like good food and great quality, but not all that fancy stuff like fish eggs and proscuito (which I like, but not at a buffet) then this place is the best around. Kabobs, fresh made cotton candy, mediterrean rice, fresh pasta, and sauteed chicken and meats. Yum.
4. Good atmosphere and newly remodeled casino. The casino has been renovated and vastly improved since it used to be the Aladdin. The decor is modern now and the general crowd there is laid back and fun.
5. The value of the hotel is good. The price they charge is a good bargain for all you get. The rooms are really nice (also remodeled) with new furniture and great views of the city (consequence of being in prime location on the strip).
Hope this helps - have lots of fun and great choice on the hotel, you'll love it there and you'll love that you didnt get ripped off elsewhere.|||yeah|||Great place and the room was huge! The window I had in my room looked out to the Belliagio and I saw the fountain at night, which was amazing!
Also, you can't be the location on the strip.|||Never stayed there...but they have great shopping and Fat Tuesdays is fun ask for Biff :)
I am so clueless on what to do...how to do it...UGH!! Is there any fast food on the Strip...or do we have to pay loads and loads everytime we eat?? And does anyone know about the Titanic exhibit when and where?? Thanks so much!|||Welcome and relax.
Don't plan too much because there are a lot of distractions here.
Planet Hollywood is in the final stages of remodeling... It was the Aladdin. The rooms are the last to get made over.
From what I hear, they did a nice job on them as well. It is also nicely placed for location to other things.
Fast food? Yup... Down by the MGM is a food court, up by the flamingo is a McDonalds as well as each of the resorts haveing their own food court.
Titanic is in the process of moving to the Luxor. Bodies is already there. that is a MUST see !! Titanic is ok.
Check around for coupons and 1/2 off deals. Your room will have a magazine or two loaded with special offers.
|||Check www.lasvegasnow.com
Titanic may still be at Tropicana but the plans are to move it to Luxor very soon
You never have to gamble and though there is fast food you get great deals at the casino coffee shops/cafe and buffets. |||Osheas next to Harrahs has several fast food restaurants. Inside the MGM there are several in their food court. Fashion Show Mall has a food court on the second floor. Eat at the 24 cafes in the casinos. They have the cheapest and good food. Stay away from the name restaurants.. little food for lots of money but it is good food. The Buffets on the strip are way over priced and the lower priced ones aren't that good. You would have to travel off the strip to the locals casinos to get good buffets at good prices. Do not use room service at any time. For snacks or even bottled water just go to Walgreens or CVS right there on the strip. You will get everything at a reasonable price even souvenirs.
If you want a nice dinner and a show go to the Tournament of Kings at the Excalibur. It is a dinner theater. You have to eat your meal with your hands, no utensils and the show is fantastic. All of that for about 50 bucks each. Most shows cost twice that with no food served.
Some advice is to eat a good breakfast and a late big lunch and skip dinner. Dinner prices are extremely high for the same dish as lunch. Just have a snack at a fast food restaurant for dinner.
Come and have a good time without spending a fortune.|||Go see Bodies. Hover dam is kick ***. Do plain anything. On the strip you can buy same day show tickets at half price. I live in Vegas I know. Just bring a great pair of walking shoes.|||Believe me your going to just run into fun things to do! First would be checking out as many hotels as you can as it is just fun walking about being woooow by all the huge casinos.. Ask the front desk for hotel coupons and there is usually a book in your room called whats up las vegas and it has shows with times, restaurants in the city that are good etc.. If you have time there is a steakhouse inside the circus circus hotel called the steakhouse. Its one of the best on the strip and you can dress with jeans and and a shirt, other you have to get totally dressed up.. And dont forget the best part is gamble if you can..|||Titanic is presently at the Tropicana-I saw it this past Wednesday
( personally I feel it was a waste of time and $
and was better at my local Art Institute)
there are tons of fast food places on the strip
you can buy 1/2 tickets on the strip near the Hawaiian Village across the street from where the multi million $$$$$$ condo's that are being built next to the Ballagio
My husband and I are staying there in October. After looking at pictures online it doesn't look like the most user friendly hotel. We are staying at the Towers Westgate. Online it said it was right on the strip...but after looking into it more, its not. How far is it off of the strip...and is it safe to walk at night?? Also, do we have to use the mall doors to get to our hotel??...but they close at midnight. Please help I am second guessing our choice.|||Westgate Towers are just off the strip, but they are part of the same complex as Planet Hollywood and Miracle Miles. It's only a few minutes walk at the most to the Strip, so you really don't have to worry.
The quickest way from the Casino to the Westgate Towers is through the Miracle Mile Shops, so yes, you will be going through the mall often. There is also a separate entrance to hotel on Harmon, so that is your other option.|||It is right on the strip. Its just not in the "heart" of the strip. Maybe a 10-15 min walk from there.
But the location is still great, and its a very nice place. I am a big pool person, and I did not particularly like the pool there though.
you dont have to use any "mall doors". I dont know where you are getting this from. There is an extrance right onto the strip.|||Don't worry - you'll be fine.
PH is a nice hotel and you do not have to use the Miracle Mile doors to get to the hotel, although you can.
The price is abig difference bout $150|||If the difference is $150 per night, then stay at the Planet Hollywood and just buy a round of drinks for everybody.
If the difference is $150 over 5 nights then stay at the Venetian and enjoy your suite.|||If money is no object, go to the Venetian. I have stayed there 3 times now and LOVE it. Planet Hollywood tends to be a bit cheaper though, and a little more central on the strip.|||I've been to Vegas numerous times. Don't know your budget, but if you could swing it---I'd say the Venetian. IMHO, the very prettiest hotel out there. A class of it's own.
However, if you only need a room to sleep in and the other stuff doesn't matter, for $150 I would do PH.|||Venetian is in a different class to PH if you can afford it stay there |||With an extra $150 you can do a lot with it. You really won't be in your room that much, just to sleep and rest mainly. Take the cheaper which is probably PH. PH has the better location right in the middle of the strip. Right now the Venetian is at the end of the current strip so to speak.|||the venetian is a way better hotel and the amenities are better than the Aladdin or now known as planet hollywood.plus every room in the venetian is a suite.
I would call Disney. They are usually pretty helpful. Disney tickets use to never expire. However, a couple of years ago they did away with that and you have to pay extra for "no expiration" tickets. Check with them maybe there's a reward for having the oldest outstanding tickets.|||call disney|||good question|||depend. if in the moment of purcharse you pay extra for the no expiration option you will can use it. call to disney and check.|||Disney won't tell you if they are cancelled or not - I have tried. I don't think they implemented the expiration date until after 1994 when I was there. I used leftover tickets from 1999 when I went back in 2007 but now all tickets have an expiration choice that you have to pay for.|||Disney tickets do expire now, but they DID NOT in 1989. So you will be able to take your old tickets to Guest Services when you get to the parks and get them updated to the new format and use them! Pretty cool! Don't know what you mean by Planet Hollywood tickets - it is a restaurant. Maybe you mean a free meal voucher? In which case, it should give an expiration date. If it doesn't, I would assume it is still good also.
From AllEars:
"Almost any ticket purchased prior to the first week of January 2005 can still be used at the turnstiles in its original form. There are one or two exceptions, but they are things like extremely old tickets, convention tickets with expiration dates and some one-day tickets. Most guests won't have those kinds of tickets, so I won't go into specifics, other than on those much-older tickets.
It is not necessary to exchange older types of tickets for the new Magic Your Way tickets, as long as the old tickets have a magnetic strip on the back. If they're really, really old and predate the new computerized turnstiles (no magnetic strip on the back), take them to Guest Relations and exchange them for a new-style ticket. If they were purchased in the last few years and have the magnetic strip, you need not exchange them. They will work in the turnstiles exactly as they were intended to work when they were first purchased."
http://allearsnet.com/aa/aa032805.htm|||Disney park tickets now have an expiration date but the ones you have in your possession do not if they were purchased in 1989. It used to be they had no expiration date but unfortunately as greedy as Disney has become now, they try to get you to pay extra for non expiration park passes. You'll probably have to go to Guest Services when you arrive at any of the four parks to get them updated. As far as vouchers for Planet Hollywood I'm not really sure. If you can't find an expiration date on them I personally would do what I could to try to get them to honor it. I'm not sure they'll budge but like I said I'd at least try. Hope this helps!|||Disney tixs do expire - you need to contact Disney directly but now a days these tixs are good for 1 day, month or year depending on what you paid and your stay. Planet Hollywood sell their own tixs - keep in mind that this is not a park, it's a restaurant that gets crowded depending when you travel - usually during the summer months is packed! The rest. is located in Downtown Disney - which is separate from the parks. Good luck|||i doubt tickets from 1989 are any good. contact someone at disney to check. if they are good then lucky you!

Please help.|||Yes, they are the real thing. It's hard to believe that people can be that skinny, but it's true.
1) Can you mix your own drink into a cup (in your room) and bring it down to the casino floor and start gambling.
2) Can you mix your own drink into a cup (in your room) and walk around on the vegas streets leaglly?
If you cant, can you mix your drink into one of those large drink containers that most casinos provide instead.|||You can walk around with it, but you can't have it at a table. They will give you the liquor for free if you are playing!|||1. Of course. You could have a slight issue if you walked into a bar, but on the casino floor you wont have any problems. Even if they did, no one knows whats in it anyway.
2. Same as above. Vegas has almost no restrictions about drinking as long as you are over 21.|||yes, you can do both of those things, but do you know that the casino gives you free drinks if you're gambling? You just have to tip the cocktail waitress!|||yes, i just got back from vegas 3 weeks ago and had no problems. i also walked around the strip with beer cans and had no problems, but can't guarantee anything! have fun!|||Yes you can do that but why not take advantage of the free drinks that the casinos give you?|||I remeber when my missus his a jackpot on a machine in NYNY a few years a go we were walking round with a bottle of moet each and no glass - classy ;-)|||1) Yes
2) Yes
are more Planet Hollywoods I can try maybe the one in Orlando was just having a bad day. I was wanting to see if anyone had opinion Thanks|||When I was going to culinary school 7 years ago, the Orlando, Planet Hollywood was apart of my "Sanitation & Food Safety" class. Our proffesor got information through the Florida Board of Health that the Planet Hollywood in Orlando had been closed down 8 times due to "unsafe & unsanitary" practices ,(I would go into detail, but, you probably wouldn't like it!).
Needless to say, I've kinda "shyed" away from those type of restaurant's! lol|||There are several other Planet Hollywoods, but I have to say that they suck overall. There used to be one here in Arizona but it closed down because no one ever ate there...it's now a Cheesecake Factory. It just goes to show that actor's can't do EVERYTHING...especially restaurant ownership.|||I agree, it's a theme place. Thats why people go. Otherwise, it's overpriced, fast service, lousy food. They don't care if you return, they have a captive audience. It's what it is!!!|||I just ate there in March with my sister. I was totally unimpressed by the selection and the quality of the food. Stick to a place like Olive Garden or Chili's and blare music on your IPOD|||There more Planet Hollywood restaurants out there...just not in the Orlando area. I think that in general places like that can be either hit or miss. I've been there before and the food was all right - not really anything out of the ordinary for the touristy area it's in.
As a suggestion, try going outside of the Disney/Universal areas. On Internation Drive there is a neat place called TuTu Tango, and there are lots of really great places in the Dr. Phillips area. :)|||over priced and not enough for your money food ok though|||I think all of those restaraunts like Planet Hollywood and Hard Rock Cafe are so overrated. You are paying for the atmosphere (which isn't that great) instead of the food. I have however found one exception. The Rainforest Cafe is great. The atmosphere is awesome. You really feel like you are in a rainforest and the food is EXCELLENT!!!
or also harrahs, they all similar in price range about $550-560 for 3 nights june 21-24 (sat, sun, mon night) plus airfare from kansas to vegas, is that sounding like a good deal? and what do u think is the BEST way to get a room upgrade? ive heard lots people pull it off when its there 21st bday, i will be checking in the day of my birthday. Any think i HAVE to do and not miss out on in vegas in particular? any tips and what not to make this trip awesome would be appreciated, im leaning toward planet hollywood but i dont know!|||The prices are higher becaue your whole trip is hitting the weekend nights which are most expensive. The same trip on weekdays would be half as much.
Luxor and MGM Grand are MGM Resort Properties. Use a promo code and you'll probably get a better rate.

There is of course on one best hotel. MGM has a much better Pool Complex compared to the other two.
A lot of it really depends on the room type you choose, and the location of the Hotel Room within the resort.
Everybody wants to upgrade, but they don't even know how good the standard rooms are.|||I personally like the Luxor and the MGM Grand.
Definitely take the time to walk up and down the strip (the Luxor and the MGM are both down at one end).
It's fun to people watch, and just to walk in and out of the different casinos.
There's lots going on outside... the fountain show in front of the Bellagio, the pirate ship battle in front of Treasure Island, shopping and checking stuff out inside Planet Hollywood and Cesar's Palace.
You'll have a great time!|||Luxor is the best deal for the money.
Mgm grand in walking distance but also has a tram that can take you anywhere in the city.
Both have great nightlife. LAX and Studio 54
Treasure Island/planet hollywood do not really offer you any advantages at that age. But I would stay at whichever one I could find the cheapest.

Not really cheap (and full of the kind of people that like really cheap places). Not really expensive, and full of high rollers. It has a good atmosphere and a tram you can get to various other nearby casinos.
I thought the Luxor was crap, and the staff were rude and unfriendly. It's beginning to look its age.
Last time I was there they were still doing the Planet Hollywood conversion, so maybe it's nice.
MGM is just vast. Big like you would not believe. It's like living in a mall.
UPDATE: I don't get why Chris C would go to Vegas and complain there is too much gambling going on! I mean DUH. That's rather the point.
As for everything closing at 10pm, that's nonsense too. The place is open 24/7. There is always something to do.
Shows, helicopter rides, clubs, bars, restaurants, shops, malls, exhibitions, entertainment. It's none stop.|||The MGM and Luxor our at the far south end of the strip. Right now there is a lot of construction going on between them and the action part of the strip. Sure PH (Planet Hollywood) is almost directly across from the construction but it won't be a hindrance.
TI is farther North but not central.
PH seems to attract the 20-30's crowd and a fun place. Your not far from Paris which is also a rock'n place a night. Then just a little bit farther up the strip is Harrah's that has Carnival Court. Carnival Court has great bands and those awesome flare bartenders. The entertainment lasts until 2-3 a.m. at the least.
Hands down of the places you mentioned go for PH.|||me and my wife went in november for her 21st and we will never go back. all there is to do is gamble and everything shuts down at ten. and everything was under construction after that is nothing but gambiling. the only thing we really liked was the show and the roller coasters at new york new york. and we saw le reve and ka. both were awesome. le reve was our favorite but tickets are like 150 a piece. but you will see several people at tables selling tickets and just ask them what they liked. dont go to the guy with just a fold out table on the strip if you go into the casinos in the lobby there will be pros to help you. not sure if you would want to do this but we rented a car and drove to the grand canyon to ride horses but that will take an entire day to drive out there and ride the horses and drive back. but like I said the shows were really good diffenetly go see le reve. its a water show it worth it. also a warining when you are walking on the strip and you come across a small group of mexicans that are smaking there hand on what looks like a stack of business cards look away cuz if they see you looking they will try to hand you a card and its got naked chicks on it for prostitution.|||Try this website to save even more on your hotel.

Luxor- standard pyramid room- $307 for 3 nights
upgraded luxury suite- $482 for 3 nights
Planet Hollywood- standard- $487 for 3 nights
MGM Grand- Grand tower- $417 for 3 nights
Treasure Island- $375.30 for 3 nights
3 nights plus airfare for $550 is really good. But you can sometimes find better. I just paid $600 for 2 people for 4 nights at the Luxor and airfare from Indianapolis, IN. Is your $550 for just you, or you and another person?
Southwest has a round trip ticket right now from Kansas city to Las Vegas for $250 total- that includes all taxes and fees. And if you add that to any of the totals above you get
Luxor
$550
$732
PH
$737
MGM
$667
TI
$625
Southwestvacations.com has the flight and hotel stay for around $510- $560. But if you were to split the cost of the hotel with a friend, that would save you a couple hundred dollars on the total. Or if you were to go during the week, you would save a TON on the hotel stay alone. For example, if you were to get there on the 23rd and stay until the 26th, the airfare would be the same, but some of the hotels drop to less than $100 per night. Luxor you can get for $59 a night on some dates. And Treasure Island for $89/night.
I hope this helps.
I'm under 21 will they let me in to those places?|||Dave and Busters you have to have an adult over 21 with you. Its something like 6 minors to one adult. Except the Times Square location, where it is 4 kids to an adult. This is because their insurance requires it, and they want the adults to have a good time, etc.
Planet Hollywood allows everyone regardless of age
|||I don't know about Planet Hollywood, but Dave and Busters' company policy is if you are under 21, you must be accompanied by someone over 25. And also, the person who is 25 is able to get up to six people under 21 in. The six people that accompany the 25 must be in care, custody, and control of the 25-year-old at all times.|||If your underage your allowed to go to both. Planet Hollywood has a whole hollywood them w/ manikins of all the greatest actors and singers. Dave and Busters has a lot of games and a huge selection of food. If you don't want to many kids running around you go to Planet Hollywood. Dave and Busters is just a huge arcade for adults and kids (a lot of kids by the way).|||You can definitly go into Dave and busters i've been there hundreds of times in florida and alanta. But i'm not sure about planet hollywood i think you have to be 21 or at least 18 but i'm not sure|||Planet Holleywood yes. I used to go all the time before they closed the one here in town. They'll let you in no problemo. Dave and busters I'm not so sure|||I know minors can go to Dave and Busters until 10pm I don't remember if it is everyday or just weekdays.

Does anyone know how to get some good hotel discounts for April for either hotel? I know there are lots of sites I just don't know where to look. Thanks in advance!!!|||Book directly from those hotels using their discount promotion codes. Here are a few codes.
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/special.p鈥?/a>|||i myself, have been on the hunt for a good deal on a hotel in vegas in april...
www.vegashotelspecial.com was a link sent to me by my mom. it's got some of the discounted packages being offered by all the major hotels on and off the strip. it's nice, cause it's condensed them into one place, and you're not skipping from site to site to see the deals.
sometimes, sites like expedia have some good sales, but most of the time you'll get better discounts going straight to the hotel/resort yourself.
the bigger discounts come when you book through a vacation service, most major airlines (ie. US Airways) and some of the Vegas resorts (ie. MGM). when booking a flight and hotel together can be where you'll find the really good rates on hotels, and even the shows in the resort as well!|||Deal hunting here also, good luck on Planet Hollywood. That place is very expensive. I was shocked. I don't remember the Aladdin being all that nice, they must have done alot of upgrades. Haven't been there yet since the change. We got a room at the MGM for 60 a night. It was double that at PH. NYNY was a tad steeper than the MGM also not by much however.|||For some reason those hotels did not discount their rooms yet. Do not book at this time. The prices will drop. You see April starts the busy season here in Las Vegas .. at least in the past it has. Prices always rose at that time. However, with the economy the prices will drop. Harrahs has already discounted their rooms for April with their prices over half the price of those you mentioned. Plus Harrahs is offering to pay airfare on your return trip if you stay two or three nights at most of their properties. For two nights you get a voucher for $200 and for a three night stay $300. You might want to check into that or give a few weeks for those other three to catch up with the discount pricing.|||There are discounts for MGM and NYNY at teh link below PH ofr some reasons allways seems more expensive I am not sure ehy,.

I'm travelling to New York in April and would like to have dinner at Planet Hollywood Times Square the night we arrive (a monday) as I have to go there to collect my New York Passes anyway. I'll be arriving around 5pm (a bit early for dinner I know, but since I'll still be on UK time it will be 9pm to me).
I'm just wondering how long I'm likely to have to wait for a table, bearing in mind it is quite early, and it is a weekday.
Thanks!|||At 5pm on a Monday night, there should be a very short wait. The lines get very long after 7pm.|||around 5pm would probably give you a 15-30 min waiting period
I'm a small share holder in BUCA, it was announced a week ago that BUCA would be bought out by Planet Hollywood for $0.45/share, and that planet hollywood would begin buying shares on August 12th. How do I sell my shares to them? the price of the stock hasn't gone to .45 yet like I was expecting it to. I haven't really been notified that an offer has been made for the company. Do I wait for them to come to me, or should I be proactively doing something? |||they have your name and address, they will come to you. If you go to a broker and have him do something, they'll just keep some of your money. I even had a single share of Gulf oil in a ESOP plan that I didn't know about.

Planet Hollywood has more ambiance.

So, I'm gonna have to say Planet Hollywood...the only one I can remember. Their lasagna was awesome!|||hard rock cafe|||Hard Rock, by far. I've been to both, and Planet Hollywood is over-rated. I can't remember what I ate at PH, but I can remember about every meal and drink I've had at a HR. Like anything from their Cobb salad to the burgers and fries. And I like looking at the cool music memorabilia. And I always buy a shot glass and a t-shirt for my little collection.|||Planet Hollywood I think|||Hard Rock because they had the guts to open a location in Downtown Detroit.
I am going to Las Vegas for 4 days & 3 nights over a weekend at the end of September. I have already went previously and stayed at Excalibur but I am now looking to upgraqde for this trip. I am going with 4 buddies and we are all in the age range of 23-25 and we will be looking to gamble, pool, drink, eat, & go out to bars/clubs. For our price range we have pretty much narrowed it down to 2 options: Planet Hollywood & MGM Grand. I know MGM Grand is larger, has a better/longer history, and has a larger pool complex. PH however seems newer & more up to date and has a more central location with their pool smaller overlooking the strip?
Any tips or suggestions one way or the other would be greatly appreciated. For my airfare & hotel the price difference is minimal so please do not take cost into account.
Thank you!|||For your age group, I will recommend Planet Hollywood. PH is more taliored to a younger crowd. The rooms at the MGM Grand are nice and also has a nice pool but MGM Grand will cost more considering they charge an extra resort fee that PH does not charge.
My vote goes to Planet Hollywood. Here are discount rates
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/harrahs-d鈥?/a>|||I would def say PH, I prefer the location and I am around your age and out of the 2, I would prefer Planet Hollywood. The last time I went I stayed at the New York New York hotel and the location (across the road from MGM) annoyed me. The next time I go back, I would stay at PH or at Caesars palace.|||I would also recommend MGM if you are planning on spending a lot of time by the pool. Their complex is a LOT bigger, and they have Wet Republic, one of the most popular daytime pool parties right now. http://bit.ly/wetrepublicMGM
I also think since it is so big, there is a lot more to do at MGM. They have a nightclub, an ultralounge, a lot of cool bars, and more casino floor of course. Hope this helps. Have fun!|||You cannot go wrong with any of these hotels. Planet Hollywood has the better location but MGM the better pool area and often better rooms rates. Before you book check http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com for the latest promo codes for these hotels.|||Planet Hollywood! Especially for your age group.|||i haven't been to ph in years, but i can tell u that my family recently stayed at mgm, and i was shocked at how dumpy the rooms were. ceilings were low (like 7 ft high) and rooms were tiny! anything HAS to be better than mgm! just thought i'd fill u in. :)|||MGM Grand is a lot better thank PH. Find great deals here http://travel-to-las-vegas-vacation.blogspot.com|||MGM!!!! great crowd and the pool compound is SIIIIICK!!! if you want to meet people GO TO MGM GRAND!!|||MGM!!!!! planet hollywood is gay, plain and simple.|||I've stayed at both (PH once and MGM several times). I should also point out that I'm 36, married, and my club days are behind me, (although I still gamble plenty, love the pool scenes, and I've been going to Vegas since I turned 21)
I agree with the person who said that you can't really go wrong with either. They are certainly upgrades from the Excalibur. But whatever you choose, definitely stay away from the "West Wing" at the MGM. That poster is absolutely correct. The website makes the rooms look hipper (it's more $$ too), but they are some of the worst rooms I've stayed in. Too far from everything.
So anyway, although MGM has the better pool, incredible food options, and friendly dealers, I would choose PH. It's a younger crowd, but there's another reason which is this: Harrahs brand hotels (PH, Rio, Paris, etc) are much more generous when it comes to comps. Stay at PH, get rated, and your next stay if you go mid-week will likely be comped. You do NOT have to gamble alot to get mid-week comps at PH and Rio. And if you're willing to stay in a dive, then the Imperial Palace will likely be free on a weekend. I like the Mirage Brand hotels better overall for the non-gaming side of things(now my wife and I stay at THEhotel when we go), but I think Harrah's hotels pay you back way more often that Mirage hotels.
Good luck!|||I don't think you can really go wrong with either one of them. If you're spending a lot of time by the pool, I would go for MGM Grand, Otherwise PH might be the better choice. PH has a better location (closer to the middle of the strip) and has a bit of a younger vibe.
If you do go to MGM Grand, I would stay away from the west wing rooms, they are smaller than the regular rooms and with two guys in there it would get a little tight.

I'm going to an open house for a job at Planet Hollywood tomorrow and I've never been there.
What do the employees wear? I'm assuming there's probably a uniform shirt, but do they all wear the same bottoms and same color shoes? Are women expected to wear heels? Are sneakers or boots okay?
Do they tend to go for a certain look or personality trait?
Any of you ever worked there or know anyone who has and have any advice?
BTW The open house is from 5-7, does that mean I can show up at any time between those hours? Or I have to be there from start to end?|||I'd say get there on time, ready and focused on impressing those who interview you---so have your presentation ready.
I've been to three Planet Hollywoods---and the employees look and dress impressively sharp. Uniformity is the general rule--w/ a SLIGHT flexibility allowed; keep in mind the word "slight". I've seen women on staff wear low heels AND sneaker shoes; the latter obviously is preferred due to stair climbing---don't want an accident on the job.
i was watching the big tvs in planet hollywood when a song came on it sounded really good the only problem is i can't remember any of the words or the tune.
one of the band members looks like the one on the left in this pic http://images115.fotki.com/v661/photos/2鈥?/a>

Its been over a month since i booked a suite at the planet hollywood towers in las vegas. I called the hotel directly the guy said I would be charged half now & the second half after our stay. He also said I would receive a confirmation email. So i am about to pay my bill that room is suppose to be on & I see nothing. I am looking Through my emails & received no confirmation for the room. I never bothered with the email because Ive never received one & i always get my room. Now i am worried because my reservation has not been charged to my card. The room now is a $500 difference. What are the chances of this being one big scam or then not honoring my reservation a month ago?|||I would call the hotel and see if they have a record of the reservation. The charge may not have gone through as early as they expected it to. If they don't honor your reservation, then look elsewhere - there are plenty of other places to stay in Vegas.|||if u book thur u credit card and notify to u bank or bank card company to notify what happen u can report them as not approve confirmations u can get money back|||Call them. It's certainly not the only hotel in Vegas and not in any way one of the best.|||Call them and ask for the manager and tell them what happened... its probably a mistake.
My friends and I have all graduated college and we're looking to take a 5-6 day trip to Vegas this summer. We're looking for an mid-level hotel on right on the strip, but we weren't sure which was best. We're all 22-23 year old frat guys that are looking for a good hotel to party, hang out with girls etc. Obviously a place that attracts a younger crowd and isn't too expensive. So far we're been debating between Monte Carlo, Planet Hollywood, and New York New York. They aren't as expensive as the likes of the Belagio or Venetian, and they're right in the middle of the strip. Any suggestions and input?|||Choose in this order... Planet Hollywood, NYNY, Monte Carlo. Also look into MGM Grand because it's nicer than the 3 mentioned and there is no resort fee.
Book directly from the hotels using their discount promo codes to get the maximum discounts. Here are a few codes.
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/las-vegas鈥?/a>|||Those actually aren't in the middle of the strip, but the locations aren't bad.
Planet Hollywood is a big party hotel, and attracts a young crowd. It's a nice place. NYNY also tends to have a young crowd, and the Coyote Ugly bar is a lot of fun. Monte Carlo is more laid-back than the other two places. It has a great pool area, but the crowd there tends to be a bit older.|||Best pick would be NYNY of the three. One reason is that Monte Carlo and PH charge a resort fee that will increase the price of the room over $10 a day that you have to pay when you get here. NYNY only charges a $3 day resort fee. The other reason is NYNY has Coyote Ugly. That place is hopping with younger girls and you don't have a club to enter.|||Monte Carlo will be too boring for you its more older crowd I prefer NYNY by a mile to PH I dont like the feel where as NYNY is great fun and has some good bars I woudl however consider having a look at MGM Grand great bars gerat clubs good location and amazing pool, the pools at NYNY and PH are both poor.
Whatever you do dont pay a penny more than you have to wherever you stay
http://vegasuncovered.wordpress.com/2009鈥?/a>|||If you want in the middle of the Strip then you need to go with Planet Hollywood. Both the NYNY and Monte Carlo are about a mile south. But in the long run it doesn't matter where you stay since "the action" is everywhere.|||I would take NYNY, then Planet Hollywood and then Monte Carlo. When you are ready to book your hotel room check http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com - you can find there the latest promo codes for these and other Las Vegas hotels as well.|||PH is a younger crowd but remember you can enjoy the atmosphere of any casino (except pool) regardless where your room is

Last month I went to Disneyworld (Orlando, FL) with my mom and we had dinner at the Planet Hollywood in Downtown Disney. As we entered the restaurant they took a picture of us and later asked us if we wanted to purchase them - we declined. Now I've realized that my mom really did want to buy them but thought it would embarrass me or something. I don't see anything on their website for buying photographs, but is there anyone out there who knows a way? what do you think the odds are that they still have the photographs given that we were there in mid august and it is now october...?
any input helps, thanks!|||If they gave you a photo card then you can easily purchase the photos but if you don't have anything then they ask you if you want the pics and if you say no they automatically delete them from there camera so they can leave room for people who might purchase it.

Best answer plz
We are going to Las Vegas and still need to find a good hotel. I've read the reviews of the PH and Hard Rock and they both seem to be great hotels. How far is the Hard Rock from the strip (where all the action is!!) Is the pool still open this time of the year? How about the planet Hollywood? Do they have a pool as nice looking as at the Hard Rock? Both Hotels have casinos, right? Which Casino is better? Do they have cheap craps tables and poker rooms with tournaments?
Please let me know which of these 2 is better ... oh and ... do the rooms really look as great as in the pictures? The cheap ones too?
Thank youuuuuu :D|||I would choose Planet Hollywood. Hard Rock is really not a practical walking distance to the strip, and there are no shuttles to take you from there to the strip. It's a little over a mile from Hard Rock to the strip.
However, the pool at PH is not nearly as nice as the pool at Hard Rock. This isn't really pool season in Vegas anyway though. Some hotels keep one heated pool open through the winter months, but the hours usually vary day-to-day depending on the weather conditions. There are not usually services such as poolside drinks and food available then either. I wouldn't make the pool a big factor in your decision if you're going between November and March.
Both casinos are nice. I think the one at Hard Rock is more "fun" but the one at PH is perfectly fine. I don't know that either has particularly cheap tables, but both do have poker rooms.
Even the standard rooms at both hotels are very nice. Most rooms have a bathtub, but not all have a jacuzzi tub. You usually need an upgraded room for that.
If you plan to spend a lot of time on the strip, which is where all the action is, then I would choose PH over Hard Rock for sure.|||Stayed at both. Had a suite in PH with a tub, and a room at Hard Rock w/o a tub (but there are like 2-3 towers at HRH). Both pools are prob. closed in November.
PH has a great location across from new City Center, also has shows, shopping, places to eat & drink. HRH had a cool young crowd, decent restaurants...maybe a good place for seeing a concert, but def. have to cab it anywhere you may wanna go.
Good luck!|||I would suggest Planet Hollywood. Though both hotels are nice, PH is in such a better location and basically in the center of everything the Strip has to offer. Here's a quick link to a promotional offers that might save you some money. Have fun!
http://www.VegasCodes.com|||Hard Rock is not walking distance to Strip No pool is open in winter
PH is very nice and easy walk to other Strip hotels

My best friend and I are going to vegas for my 16th birthday.
I'm super girly and I love sushi and anything that sparkles.
I want a younger crowd place and not a hotel where a bunch of famlies with tiny kids would stay. I would like it to be really big and have really pretty views from the hotel room and an amazing pool.
I would also like it to be on the strip :)
Where should I stay?|||52 stories cosmopolitan, the commercial is cool; check it out doll face. they say come act like you own the place, take their word for it; do some crazy stuffs that a 16 yo like to do. if they ask you, say you own the place, hahaa. here's the view http://www.fivestaralliance.com/luxury-h鈥?/a>

I'm planning to visit vegas Sep 29 to Oct 1st (wed and thurs night)
I've shortlisted three hotels to stay in.
Rates below are the combined rates for *BOTH* nights (a good weekday deal :) )
1) Bally's - $80 (standard)/ $120 (the better room)
2) Flamingo - $90 (standard) / $130 (the better room)
3) Planet Hollywood - $100 (standard) / $130 (for the better room)
I know that all three belong to the same chain and all three dont charge the notorious resort fee
I saw the room pics of all the three and read some reviews.
All of them have descent reviews
I need some help choose a good one. I'm traveling with my girl friend and we are 20s.
I've been to Vegas twice before and so I know the place, but stayed before in other properties.
Here is my criteria
1. There should be a good chance to get a strip view (and may be the fountain view) with or without upgrade/tipping
2. A good club downstairs
3. Not too expensive food. I know the buffet in PH is quite good.
4. Any deals/combos for food or shows.
Any experiences/tips?|||I have never tipped when I ask for a specific room view. They are a first come basis. Just ask for a room on the west side of the hotel. Ask for this to be noted when you make reservation, eg special consideration
To get a fountain view, Bally's does not work. It faces north/south.
If you can afford it, I would take the upgraded room at either Flamingo or Planet Hollywood. Flamingo is further from Bellagio fountains the PH.
How much do you really spend in the room? The best deal is the best deal. All Harrah's casinos now have a buffet special, all you can eat for a daily rate at ANY Harrahs' casino regardless where your room is.|||With your criteria you only have one choice ... PH. They are the only one of the three to have a club downstairs. The other two do not have clubs. Go to the following page and at the bottom of the page click on the ad for best hotel prices. They search the entire web and shows you the best prices on other sites.|||I've stayed in The Flamingo and Bally's.. I would say the Flamingo. They have a really nice pool too.|||Easy PH because they have the HOTTEST GIRLS!!|||Bally's is in a funny location. When you leave the hotel, you have to walk about a 1/4 mile to get to the strip. The good thing about is it's connected to Paris. You can walk through Paris to get to the Strip.
I've never stayed at the Flamingo. It's an older hotel. But it's in a good location.
Planet Hollywood is the newest hotel and has the Miracle Mile Shops. There's a Fat Tuesday's there that's open until 2am. You'll find the cheapest drinks on the Strip there. Get the 100 oz Octane 190 and you'll be set for the day.|||I got the best deal by signing up for a Total Rewards card. Worth giving it a try. You can always go to the buffet even if you don't stay at the hotel, and the room card works at all Harrah's property. I found that when you charge everything to the room, it adds points to your reward card. I skipped the buffet deal when I added it up, the couple of times I would want to eat there did not add up to a savings. It's not like you can eat at a buffet all day, that's way too much food!!
Bally's is a dump. I would pick any of those hotels over the Paris. They are way too busy to give anyone the slightest level of customer service. I like a quieter hotel so I picked the Rio.
I'm planning a trip to Las Vegas and I've been looking at some hotels. We're wanting something reasonably priced and something we've heard of before. It kind of depends on where you look as to what kind of reviews you get. The rates of MGM, Hard Rock & Planet Hollywood are pretty much in the same price range, the Stratosphere is lower.
We like the idea of staying at Planet Hollywood or Hard Rock because the rooms look modern in the photos we've seen.
My in-laws have stayed at MGM Grand several times, they like it, but they're much older than my husband and I, so what's cool to a 60 year old might not be cool to people in their 20's.
We've only included the Strat because regardless of where we stay, I really want to go up in the tower and get a good view of the city. Plus admission to the tower is free, plus the rates are lower. It seems like a great bargain, but I don't want a bad hotel just so I can save a few bucks.
Does anybody have experience with any of these hotels? Or do you have any other recommendations/suggestions as to where to stay? Thanks!|||Eliminate the Stratosphere unless you have a car. What you save in a room you will make up in cab fares real quick just to get to the main part of the strip every day. The same with the Hard Rock unless you want to party all the time.
MGM is an older crowd than Planet Hollywood attracts. PH also is frequented by many famous people from the entertainment business. You would be much better off at Planet Hollywood than the others you mentioned.
Still I would at least travel once to the Stratosphere to see the view from the top. Do not forget your camera as the view is magnificent.
You might want to read over this website. It is great for first timers.|||The Stratosphere view is fantastic, even if you have to pay for it. And so are the three rides. BUT it is not on the Strip and it is NOT by other hotel casinos. The closest is Sahara and that is a walk.
Hard Rock is NOT on the Strip and you cannot walk to any other casino.
Between MGM and PH, PH is best for someone your age and easy walk to many other properties.|||I highly recommend The Planet Hollywood. It's newer and as well as they have a good show called Stomp there. The Koi Japanese restaurant is nice and it's modern. I think you guys will like it more.|||Rule out Hard Rock and The Strat. Those hotels are too far from everything.
If it were just you and your hubby i'd suggest PH because its geared toward a younger crowd, but since your in-laws are going-- MGM GRAND.|||The Strat! Just beware of bodies flying off the tower/ride area due to suicides. If staying their you just might get a discount to go up and see the view.|||You guys would have more fun at the Hard Rock or Planet due to people being closer to your age range. Better places to eat inside PH like the strip house!!|||I stayed at all of these hotels and I would consider to stay at PH or MGM. PH has a very good location but personally MGM would be my choice because of their great pool scene. Anyway you cannot go wrong with any of these hotels. Just think about the location, Strat and Hard Rock are more away from the action then MGM or PH. Before you book I recommend to check http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com - on this site you will find the latest Las Vegas hotel promotion codes and offers.|||Of all those, the MGM is actually the highest independently rated. It has 4-Diamonds from AAA, the others all have 3.
MGM does have room options that are more hip and modern, Skylofts, Signature and West Wing.
The crowd trends slightly older at MGM than at Hard Rock or Planet Hollywood, but MGM is so big the actual number of rooms occupied by people in their 20s at MGM on any given night is still probably more than Hard Rock even has rooms.
Stratosphere is cheap and looks and feels cheap. It is on the same level as a Best Western.|||Unless you have a car at your disposal, eliminate the Hard Rock and the Stratosphere. The Strat is too far to the Northern end of the strip and totally isolated and the Hard Rock is no where near the strip.
MGM or Planet Hollywood. PH has a good location but an unremarkable pool. The MGM is next door (although that is a bit of an overstatement. It is far between them). The MGM has a very nice pool with palm trees and even a lazy river to float around in. But be advised, the MGM Grand is massive! Just to walk from the front desk to your room or your room to the Strip out front is an ordeal.
The MGM has a monorail stop, too.
Good Luck!

Ok long story. Blah blah bllah, we went to downtown disney and ate at planet hollywood in november last year(2011). I dont know much about serial killer movies; Ive only seen friday the 13th & the saw movies. So there was the statue sorta thing in a box to the right behind the hostess table thing, and it had a guy. & My parents said that was a serial killer named "chucky". Description of him : The left side of his face was sort like a robot. Thats really all I remember. Anyway, when we got home I searched him to see what movie he was from, but it showed the movie "childs play" and a doll named chucky who had the ghost of a serial killer in it. So I wanna know who the serial killer I saw at planet hollywood was.|||"The left side of his face was sort like a robot"?
That sounds like it might be from one of the Terminator movies. Did it look like this? http://www.flickr.com/photos/radiatingey鈥?/a>
Yes. Like most thing in vegas, the Pink's hot dogs in Planet Hollywood cost more than those on La Brea and Fairfax. They also dont taste as good, but are still great hot dogs. Plus they definately dont have to same feel since you getting them from a "makeshift" Pink's in vegas.
Worth the money, but nothing compared to the original Pink's in LA. Hope this helps and enjoy your hotdog!|||Why?|||It is.
why do u like it or why don't u like it? |||They were overpriced with ok food like all other theme restaurants.
Funny enough there aren't any Planet Hollywood's in California anymore. The chain has also gone bankrupt twice. |||PLANET HOLLYWOOD FOOD IS REALLY OVER RATED AND BAD.
BESIDES NOT BEING WORTH WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR.
I'VE BEEN IN THE KITCHEN FOR 20 YEARS AND I RATHER GO BUY A REAL HAMBURGER IN A MOM AND POP JOINT OR JUST MAKE IT MYSELF.
THERE VARIETY IS JUST NOT GOOD.
STICK WITH CARL'S JR OR IN AND OUT BURGER.
MUCH BETTER.|||not
mediocre food at ridiculous prices surrounded by a bunch of tinsel town trash|||I like it. I went to 1 once in Florida at Downtown Disney. It was a cool place with lots of movie stuff to look at. It was kind of cool to see things hanging from the ceiling. The food was good too. |||Went to the one at Horton Plaza (San Diego) a loooong time ago. Not sure if it's still there but the food was good, not wonderful but it was something different to do.
I called Planet Hollywood for you to find out whether or not they still accept American Casino Guide (ACG) Aladdin coupons, and it doesn't really look very promising.
The reason for that, explained the manager I spoke to, is that now the hotel is Planet Hollywood, it doesn't have the same outlets as it did when it was the Aladddin -- if, for instance, you had an ACG coupon for the cafe, you wouldn't be able to use it, because the cafe no longer exists! All the restaurants, in fact, have changed, except for the buffet and PF Chang's -- so your ACG coupons would be useless if they gave you money off at any of these (now non-existent) venues. You may still, of course, be able to use a coupon for the buffet or PF Chang's, but it's not guaranteed.
In fact, my contact told me, the general rule of thumb is that Planet Hollywood is no longer using coupons on them that say "Aladdin" -- they're really starting to phase that out now that the change has been officially in place for five weeks. They used to have drink coupons for Aladdin, and those are no longer accepted (because they say Aladdin on them.)
You could always try bringing your coupons and asking a supervisor if they're valid, but my contact was fairly doubtful that they would be, for the exact reasons listed above.
Hope this helps -- have a great trip!|||You might have to call and ask, I have tried to find out online, but no joy....
Hi,
my husband and I are going to Vegas and I am looking for a cool hotel to stay at. Has anyone been at the Planet Hollywood yet? I think the location is great, like almost right in the middle of the strip :) I saw pictures of the hotel rooms on Expedia.com ... it looks very nice! So, do the rooms actually all look that great (Also the cheaper ones)?
Also, does this Hotel have a casino? If so, is there a poker room and do they have tournaments? How much is the min. bet for craps if anyone knows *LOL?
Please let me know!!!
Thx :D|||When the hotel was built 10 years ago as the Aladdin, it was built to be a five-star resort. Even though PH is "only" a four-star hotel, these are probably the best four-star rooms on the strip ... certainly for the price.
The hotel does have a poker room that deals three daily tournaments. I've played in two tournaments there, cashing once. It's fair to say they have a lot of loose players.|||Great hotel. Stayed here for my b-day a few years back.
Nice location, Miracle Mile shopping, good shows, and good places to eat & drink. Movies "21" and "What Happens in Vegas" were filmed there.
Enjoy!|||It's a good hotel because it's central to all the other hotel and casino's and there's some good shows at some of the hotels near-by|||PH is very good and YES there is a casino. Tournaments, never saw any
I a getting very frustrated as to which hotel I should stay at. I am 24 going with my boyfriend and I choosing their basic standard room which both are the same price. The only thing is I like Planet Hollywood's room better, more roomier and more amenities. And I love MGM Grand's pool, but I may only be going their once on our 3 night stay. Please help me out which one should I choose. Also Planet Holly wood is offereing free achololic drink bottles with every nite stay. MGM $15 game slots and discount on spa.|||Planet Hollywood hands down.... It is a beautiful hotel and casino.
The casino isn't huge - like MGM - but really, who cares? It's a great casino and you can always go gamble everywhere else. Service is awesome!! It's a great location. All of the rooms of course are different movie themes....ours was "Judge Dredd". It was really neat. It had authentic movie memorabilia. The room we had included 2 queen beds and an awesome bathroom. Very spacious. We didn't have a view of the strip..but the view we had of the rest of the area was great.
And yes..the free....yes FREE bottles of alcohol were awesome!!!! We liked Bacardi Rum...our friends got that, but also Skyy Vodka and some others. Totally worth it!!
Great location, hotel and stay............they treated us like VIP from check in to check out.....we are going back there for sure.
You won't be sorry!|||I've stayed at MGM several times, it's quite nice. Planet Hollywood is newer. I've only seen the casino floor, never the rooms. Equally nice.
I'd probably say try PH only because it's newer, but honestly it really doesn't matter. Flip a coin. They're equally nice hotels in great locations. It's a 5 minute walk from one to the other.
When you're in Vegas, you're not going to spend much time in your hotel - you're going to be wandering from casino to casino. You'll probably spend most of your time at Caesars and the Palms anyway (youngest crowds, best bars - but prohibitively expensive to stay at).
Have fun!|||Don't stay at Planet Hollywood. It has the worst customer service!! The rooms are overrated and didn't overall have a good time there. Half of the time my friend was on the phone trying to solve a problem with the front desk and didn't solve the problem!! MGM has better customer service, better entertainment options(Crazy Horse) and I found their rooms to be better. The location is good!!|||I have stayed at both hotels and I will pick MGM Grand any day. The rooms are clean and the hotel is simply beautiful and you will love the Lazy river. The only drawback about MGM Grand is that the hotel is huge. They currently have better deals than Planet Hollywood. Check here. http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/special.p鈥?/a>
The service at Planet Hollywood simply sucks|||It is really up to you. Planet Hollywood has two pools but they are just average. If you are only going spend one day of three at the pool, well, it should not be that big of a deal. The MGM has a much nicer pool area but it is also crowded. The one at PH is not usually that crowded but with the current temps at 105 degrees, who knows?
If it was me making the choice, I would go with PH.
*|||Here is what I would do:
1. http://www.ratelasvegas.com/
2. http://www.tripadvisor.com/
Read the reviews about what other people think who have actually stayed in the Hotels you are considering. Along the way you may find out things that are more important to you and it can help in your Decision.|||Good choices. MGM is so large that it takes forever just to get from your room to the strip. Planet Hollywood is right on the strip. You can't go wrong with either though like you said the MGM has the better pool area by a mile.|||Well they are both nice resorts. However, I stayed at Planet Hollywood and it was very nice. The rooms are nice and roomy, the casino is as good as any other, the pool is nice, the nightlife is very good, and Planet Hollywood is new and the MGM is not.|||Both hotels are fine but I prefer MGM Grand because of their nice rooms and the fantastic pool area. It also often have the better room promotions which you can find on http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com/categ鈥?/a>|||ok Im going to lv on the 25th with my girlfriend and I have us in the mandalay bay spa suite way better than those other spots. check it out.|||I have stayed at the MGM and enjoyed it the rooms are nice and clean. You will not be in your room much anyhow.|||MGM by far.
Rooms, atmosphere, and location on strip.|||I would have to say NYNY. I went there last year and had a blast and I plan on going there again this year. In terms of location it is within 1 minute of walking to 3 other hotels that are each on the corners of the intersection it is on (MGM, Excalibur, & Tropicana), a 5-10 minute walk south to Luxor and Mandalay Bay, and its not too far of a walk to the middle of the strip to get to Bellagio, PH, Paris and others. The atmosphere is great, I really liked the casino and you could walk through the streets of NY to get a slice of pizza after you are done gambling. The room I had was also nice with a great view of the strip to the left and desert mountains to the right.
I saw Planet Hollywood when it was the Aladdin and that would be my second choice. The casino was cool and it did have a good location in the middle of the strip.
If you've never been to Vegas I would not reccommend Rio because it is off the strip and most people including myself would say you should stay on the strip for your first visit. I would not want to stay off the strip myself which is why I'm going back to NYNY.
Wow, I read somebody elses answer and totally missed you said MGM and not NYNY. I would say do Planet Hollywood between these because I have heard complaints that if you stay at MGM you could walk like 3 football fields to get to your elevator from your room.|||No planet hollywood hotel, th rio is not on the strip. the MGM is ok but many people say its too big. Try another hotel|||MGM, but NY NY is right across the street and is pretty nice too.|||I'd choose Planet Hollywood just because it's new and I haven't really been in it, but next to that I would choose the Rio, because parking at the MGM is a NIGHTMARE. I'm from Las Vegas, so I don't really know about how rooms are, I just know about parking garages and movie theaters and restaurants and concert venues.|||MGM, located on the strip, love it.|||MGM|||The RIO is a little bit off the strip but a far superior hotel with excellent facilities.
It is close to the PALMS which has alot of stars that go to the club upstairs and it is also where they film that tatoo show on A&E.|||MGM, but I loved New York, New York. It was fun.|||MGM Grand has the best location, however, the atmosphere at the Rio is better, coz you feel more relaxed and laid-back and it is an all-suite hotel so all their rooms are huge! i loved it there! they also have shuttles anyway that can take you to and from the Strip. =)|||I've stayed at these hotels and I prefer the Rio due to the atmopshere, Best Buffet, and I've been just luckier there.
The Rio is part of the Harrahs chain so you can accumulate and use any comp points at Harrahs, Rio, Caesars Palace, Flamingo, Ballys, or Paris (as well as at other Harrahs properties across the US).
MGM is on the south side of the Las Vegas strip across from the Tropicana, Excalibur, New York New York.
Good Luck and have fun.|||I live in Vegas and stayed at the MGM for my friend's 21st birthday. We had a good time there. There are plenty of bars to visit, things to do, great restaurants and the location is excellent. Try to book a suite... it's well worth it!|||MGM has the best location|||I would prefer rio because they have a Masqarade show in the sky i think every hour on the hour. The roomas are nice and have huge couches where 2 people can sleep on and its just a good atmosphere all thought the rio is no on the strip.|||actually I stayed at the Rivera, the rooms just for sleeping, if you have time for that, then just get to wherever else you want to be at. you can walk, take a cab, car, monorail, bus.|||i would prefer ph since its newest!
We can't decide where to stay. What do you think? Which one do you like better and why? Thanks!|||What are you looking for? Mandalay is more relaxing and has a beautiful pool area! It is more upscale.
Planet Hollywood is closer to the rest of the mid strip hotels and more of a party atmosphere.
Either way....enjoy your stay!|||Planet Hollywood is on the center of the strip, it's kind of a party hotel for people in the 20's.
Mandalay Bay has the best pool of all the hotels on the strip, the hotel itself offers better amenities than Planet Hollywood, it's alot quieter since it's on the south end of the strip.
So it all depends on what your looking for, but for me I love Mandalay Bay, it's just a better hotel overall compared to Planet Hollywood.|||Depends on what you are looking for in a hotel. Mandalay Bay is like being away on a tropical island. You will feel that way especially with the pool area. If you want a relaxing yet exciting get a way then this is the place. Now if you want to party and be in the center of things on the strip then this is the place for you. You have to decide which one you want. You can't go wrong with either of them.|||I stayed at Planet Hollywood when it was the Aladdin in 2003, and at Mandalay Bay five months ago. Both hotels offer slightly larger than average rooms but if you're not booking a suite or other upgraded room, Mandalay Bay's standard rooms are waaayyyy nicer.
I also stopped by PH during my last trip, some photos I shot in the casino are on this page:
http://www.urbanphotos.net/images/las_ve鈥?/a>
They did a fantastic job remodeling the casino, it's almost like a science fiction movie set. Which appeals to me, maybe not everyone.
It's a tough choice, both properties are nice; I think MB is a bit nicer overall while PH has a bit better location. MB is more of an adult, elegant place while PH has adapted kind of a frenetic party atmosphere. To relax I'd go to MB, to party I'd go to PH.|||Planet Hollywood is in the best location on the strip, in my opinion. It's completely central and has a great atmosphere. Some of the rooms are adjacent to the eiffel tower at Paris and some have views of the fountains at the Bellagio. I also love the movie memorabilia in the rooms. Miracle Mile is my favorite shopping on the strip as well. They also have movie premieres there periodically which is fun to catch.
Mandalay Bay as the last hotel at one end of the strip. I don't spend a whole lot of time down there so I personally would never stay there. Mandalay Bay is nice though and I've even had some celebrity sightings there.
When are you going? If you are going when it's warm there, I think Mandalay Bay has an edge over Planet Hollywood as far as their pool goes. They have a man-made beach and the pool is huge. They might have a lazy river too, I can't remember. The Planet Hollywood pool is just mediocre.
Also, I think Mandalay Bay may be newer. Planet Hollywood used to be Aladdin and some parts of the hotel, like some of the bathrooms in the rooms, still have Aladdin decor which is kind of weird.
Check out www.tripadvisor.com ... it helps me make my decisions all the time.|||They are both good hotels, but have different features. I think of Planet Hollywood as a party hotel, while I think of Mandalay Bay as a place to take your time and relax.
Mandalay Bay has the best pool area in Vegas with real sand, a lazy river, and a jogging track. The rooms are beautiful and it is located on South Strip, which will give you a little less people traffic but is still an easy walk to center strip (about 20 minute walk).
Planet Hollywood has a great buffet, and is right on center strip. You can see the Bellagio fountains from some of their rooms, also.
Both are very modern, Mandalay Bay might be a little more upscale, but you can find great rates here http://smartervegas.com/ for either one. Mandalay Bay currently starts at $70/night!|||You cannot go wrong with any of these hotels because both hotels are great, Planet Hollywood has a very good location but personally I prefer Mandalay Bay because of their great pool areas. Before you book I recommend to check http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com - you will find there the latest hotel promotion codes for these and other hotels as well.|||Planet Hollywood is closer to more of the other casinos. Both has a shopping mall, though I think Planet Hollywood has far better shops. Planet Hollywood has many different restaurants. If you are into tattoos there is one of the best shops in town in the Miracle Mile shops.|||Planet Hollywood is pretty much in the center of the Strip so it's right where the action is. Plus they just finished updating the hotel last year so it's still shiny.|||Easy choice...Planet Hollywood.
Mandalay Bay is beautiful, but the only way I'd stay there is if I rented a car, because its too far from everything.
We have a 7 night stay booked in a King Studio Suite in August. Any feedback about the property is welcome. Some specific questions I have are...
a) How long of a walk is it from your room to the Planet Hollywood casino..and out onto the strip? I can't find a PH casino floor map online showing how the two properties connect to judge distance.
b) I know it is a non gaming hotel, but some of the pictures show tables out by the pool and slots in the lobby. Is this the case?
c) Do guests have access to the Planet Hollywood pool as well as their own? And if so, is this vice versa with PH guests using the PHtowers pool?
d) What are the best low price options for food nearby. Fast food type food. And where?
e) Nearest Walgreens or other type of store where we could buy liquor and a few groceries to take advantage of the kitchenette in our suite.
f) Finally, if you've stayed here, I'd love to hear about your experience.
Thanks for any ideas you can give me!|||a) How long of a walk is it from your room to the Planet Hollywood casino..and out onto the strip? Both the PH Towers and PH casino are connected via the PH shopping mall. Its a very short 2-3 minute walk through the mall area from your Tower to the main PH casino.
b) I know it is a non gaming hotel, but some of the pictures show tables out by the pool and slots in the lobby. Is this the case? = I didnt see any tables when i was there? Are you talking about the Tower Pool? I didnt see any slots in the Lobby.. Only in the main casino area.
c) Do guests have access to the Planet Hollywood pool as well as their own? And if so, is this vice versa with PH guests using the PHtowers pool? Yes
d) What are the best low price options for food nearby. Fast food type food. And where? They have a Pinks Hotdog which is VERY GOOD because i go to the one right here in holly-wood.. Also they have a good sandwich shop called Earl Of Sandwiches. Yolos Mexican food, isn't so good.
e) Nearest Walgreen's or other type of store where we could buy liquor and a few groceries to take advantage of the kitchenette in our suite. 3765 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV 89109, (702) 432-6940 and i think there is another one near the Palazzo or on the outside i remember seeing one there to!
f) Finally, if you've stayed here, I'd love to hear about your experience. I didnt stay but was showed a Tower when staying at the PH Casino. Tower were really nice and i would invest if i had the money!|||If you cannot afford the best, take a rest.
Friday, February 17, 2012
I'm in a group of four people getting two rooms at one of the above hotels. They are all within a few dollars of each other. We are all in the 21-26 age range and we don't have a ton of money. We are looking for $10 blackjack, $5 or $10 craps, a decent pool (doesn't have to be huge), and a great atmosphere to hang out and drink at our age.
At Planet Hollywood it would be the Hollywood Hip room.
New York New York it would be the Park Avenue Deluxe room.
Treasure Island it would be the Standard Deluxe room.
Paris it would be the standard Luxury room.
Any words of advice as to where we should stay from people who have been to these?|||I've stayed at three of the properties you listed - PH when it was Aladdin, TI and Paris. I'd cross off TI right away because the room is small and plain.
PH is probably your best option. It's all brand new, rooms are larger than average and the casino has a party atmosphere.
Paris is more "dignified" and fancy... the rooms have antique French reproduction furniture, while you'll probably prefer the modern design of the PH rooms.|||I understood you are in las vegas. If this is right take, I would say Treasure Island. It is amazing. The other three options can be seen in true live, but there is no treasure island in reality. They worked hard to make it interesting.
Enjoy|||I would take NYNY first because I love the casino atmosphere. Second Paris, third TI, last PH which is a small boring casino|||In all honesty, if you're 21-26, you won't be in your room much anyway. Save some money to have a little more fun with and book a cheaper hotel, like Harrah's, Bally's, or Excalibur. Even Bill's Gamblin' Hall & Sallon is a great, cheaper option. Here's the deal. Planet Hollywood and Paris are right next to each other in the middle of the strip. NYNY is at the South end (lot's of walking if you want to visit other properties besides MGM owned) and Treasure Island is just north of the middle. Bill's would be a good choice (no pool, but they give you access to the pool at the Flamingo which is AWESOME) and is right smack in the middle of the action. Just because you stay at one hotel doesn't mean you have to do all your gambling there. Venture out and explore. All of the casinos are basically right on top of each other, making it easy to hop from one to the other. Staying at one of the cheaper properties will save you up to a couple hundred dollars, depending on how long you'll be there. Check Harrah's website for special deals at all of their properties (bally's, harrah's, flamingo, etc) and even call them if you've found a cheaper rate through expedia, travelocity, etc. Most times, they'll beat any advertised price to avoid having to pay any "booking agent" fees.
I've been to Vegas 3 times in the last 3 years and have basically only slept in my room. Do yourselves a favor and save that money for the real fun! Out on the Strip!!!|||^^^^
That girl is an idiot
Planet Hollywood is not small, hell it even has a giant mall attached to it with tons of shops and restauarants, its TWICE the size of the overpriced and boring TI.
Planet Hollywood is most centrally located, newly renovated and definitely the most geared towards your age group. Treasure Island is pricey and there are more kids there than the others you listed. Paris is full of old people. New York New York would be 2nd choice because it too is very cool, just not as centrally located.
If you're looking for a nice pool, none of these are up your alley. The best pools in Vegas are Mandalay Bay, Ceasars, Luxor, Hard Rock and The Flamingo...|||You are going to enjoy any of the above. At the age i believe you are I would not recommend TI (Even though they are trying to attract a hipper crowd). I would suggest Planet Hollywood mostly because of the easy access to the Monorail. It is about as close as NY/NY to MGM (Which you could consider as well) which has the main monorail hub. If you are only going to sit around and play you can get a better deal at Fremont Street Experience hotels. NY/NY has some reasonable restaurants and a pretty good Coyote Ugly Bar. NY/NY also has close access to the Excalibur/Luxor/Mandalay Bay free tram. I guess you can't do wrong with any of them.
Going to Vegas in July (I know, crazy) and can't decide between MGM Grand and Planet Hollywood. I've been in the casino at MGM, and really enjoyed it, but I've never been to PH. I've heard so many mixed reviews about PH, but they're room rates are $89/night compared to $160/night at MGM. Is it worth paying almost twice as much?
Thanks!|||I work for a Hotel Reservations Company in Las Vegas (lasvegashotels-online.com) and we visit each and every hotel we offer. If it were my choice, I would have to pick Planet Hollywood Resort over the MGM Grand. Planet Hollywood Resort has more restaurants, a shopping mall called Miracle Mile Shops with over 170 different shops and 15 restaurants, better pools (on the roof of the 6th floor with a view of the Strip) and the rooms have been upgraded with better furnishings and marble bathrooms. The MGM Grand has not had a major renovation for a long time and is not as good as it was back in the 90's.
And yes, if you are visiting in July, you're crazy (jk) bring a jacket, because once you are outside in the 110+ heat and step back into one of the casinos you will freeze your tail off.

Then Planet Hollywood all the way. The location is just a bit more central than MGM, the rooms are definitely nicer...cus they have been newly rennovated since the transition from Aladdin to Planet Hollywood. MGM rooms at least the standard rooms are a bit dated. Planet Hollywood rooms are traditionally more than MGM rooms. MGM is a huge casino though with many options for food and entertainment...like KA is definitely an awesome show. But Planet Hollywood's Spice Market Buffet is one of the top 5 buffets on the vegas strip..and IMO the best buffet for overall value (same variety as Bellagio almost as good quality, much cheaper).
Anyway go to www.yelp.com GREAT reviews by real people. I'm Gavin N. on there. But yeah Planet Hollywood is what I would recommend, especially now that it's much easier to get on/off strip from the hotel than before.
~G|||MGM is the better resort. The $89 deal also contains some "perks".

I would do the MGM, plus the MGM is across the street from NYNY and Monte Carlo, across a corner to Tropicanan, and the last corner is Excalibur/castle, Luxor/pryamid and Mandalay Bay.|||Planet Hollywood is no great shake but the rooms are nice and the bathrooms are large. You get a flat TV and two phones. On the down side, the check-in is too small and at busy times the wait can be long. The swimming area is ok just two rectangle shaped pools. The MGM has a much better Pool area.
On the up side, the location of Planet Hollywood is excellent. They also have one of the best buffets. Only personal taste can make this call.
*|||I just returned from there. MGM is definitely better - casino, rooms and food. Check out their reduced rates on their website. You can probably do better than $160. I stayed at the MGM Signature at $150/nt. It is 5 minutes walk from the casino and is a newer condo type hotel. Very peaceful and very chic.|||Are you really going to be in your room that much? Planet Hollywood looks like a better pick. Better location and you don't have to walk miles to get anywhere in the hotel.|||I will definitely choose MGM Grand. Take advantage of their promotions. They are currently running special for $68 / night using promo codes. http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/special.h鈥?/a>|||I personally found MGM to be a little overrated. The place is so massive and disorienting and the pool is horribly crowded....
Go with Planet at those rates...
I'm booking a room for Vegas in August and have narrowed it down to these 3 hotels. I have been to Vegas before, but never stayed on the Strip. This time I decided I wanted to stay on the strip, no farther North than Treasure Island (TI) and no farther South than the MGM Grand. If you have experience in these hotels I want to hear from you.|||Quality wise are all about the same. MGM of course is much larger than the other two, at over 6800 rooms but TI has 2800 rooms and PH has 2600. Planet Hollywood does have a large shopping mall on the ground floor, which is handy and is more middle than MGM. I find MGM to just be too crowded and spread out personally. TI is a nice location too since there is so much now on the north end- close to a number of good shows and other big hotels. Never stayed at TI but have sent employees and friends and they liked it-- we stay at Caesars generally and love their huge rooms. But tends to be expensive if the rooms aren't comp'd like we generally get.|||The MGM is probably the best of these, but Treasure Island is okay.
I am planning to relocate to san antonio in a few months so i have been looking up to see what restaurants and stores they have that i am familiar with. I did not see a planet hollywood restraunt in san antonio texas on the planet hollywood website, but i found other places on the internet that said that there was a planet hollywood in san antonio with the address 245 E Commerce St Ste 100 San Antonio, TX 78205. does this really exist?|||No. The one in San Antonio closed. The one in Houston closed. The nearest one to you is Las Vegas.
I've been to the one in New York, and the one in Houston. Neither really impressed me, and the food is the same as you'd get at any other mass market theme restaurant. (Pretty much the same as say, Tillman Fertitta's Rainforest Cafe.) I wasn't really that impressed with the one in Time Square. In fact, it was nearly empty the last time I went there in 2004. We walked in (party of 9), were seated immediately, and the dining room was 90 percent vacant.
San Antonio has far better restaurants than schlock like that. You might consider a trip to familiarize yourself with the area before relocating.|||Ho Ho Ho! Report Abuse
|||Sorry but close back in 2001 there in now a club there now. Club Rive.
I will be going to Vegas May 31st - June 4th this coming summer and was wondering if anyone had been to either of these hotels? I'm thinking about staying at either Planet Hollywood or MGM Grand. And also any tips on when I should book? I checked the dates on Expedia a couple of weeks ago and Planet Hollywood was like almost 400 bucks a person (including flight), but then I checked today and it was like 305 dollars a person. Is it better to book sooner, or wait? I'm getting my tax return Friday so I will be able to book any time after that.
Thanks.|||I've stayed at both and each has many different attractions and amenities. PH is newer (actually, it was the former Aladdin casino/hotel) and probably better suited for the hipper crowds (jmo). It's also more centrally located on the strip than MGM Grand. MGM Grand is one of the largest in Las Vegas and offers plenty to do, see and play. So, it comes down to you. You can't go wrong with either choice. As for when to go, you'll have to keep checking around and even on the actual casino websites too as prices and packages change frequently. Have fun.|||I'm also heading to Vegas and was gonna go for the MGM Grand, but then I came across the Rio Hotel and casino, it's a beauty - It isn't located directly on the Strip but its certainly not far from it at all. There's a complimentary shuttle bus that can take you to various parts of the strips if walking doesn't suit. Also read a review on Trip Advisor from a guy that's stayed in both the MGM and the Rio, and the Rio was his preferred hotel. See what you think, I've included the hotels website.
Booked online through Travelsupermarket.com about a month ago (Im going in September) and got return flight and 14 nights hotel for 拢760|||MGM has a much better pool area but the hotel itself is so far from the strip because the property is so huge. PH is right on the strip and not a far trek to get to and from the hotel. Book now. Prices are low both airline and hotel at this point. Waiting will have you pay more for your flight as prices rise the closer to the departure date.|||The MGM is better, in my opinion. It has a direct link with the Las Vegas Monorail, but it also has a wonderful buffet, as well as some nice rooms that are way better than any other Vegas rooms I've been in.|||MGM definitely. I've stayed at the MGM and the MGM Signature (suites and penthouse suites) their hotels are amazing as well as their casino.|||I would go to PH. Center strip, all brand new after being remodeled from the Aladdin.
MGM is nearly 20 years old and insanely crowded all the time.|||Never been to PH but MGM is really cool--and if you like sushi, they have amazing sushi at Grand Wok. And their pad thai is amazing too.|||PH definitely.|||Both are fine but hands up for MGM, it is really great. Regarding your price check also http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com for hotel promo codes, this can save money.
Aladdin is now the Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino. I was there in July and they were 1/3 of the way finished.|||I thought it was there already! If not, it's going to be verrry soon, as they are turning (or have turned) the Aladdin into Planet Hollywood, on the Strip.|||it's already there..at Ceasar's Palace forum shops|||Yeah planet hollywood has been around since 1992, i went to the grand opening i was about 16, and from my understanding it is still here and it is located by Ceasars palace. Im surprised it is still here the one in san antonio texas was closed down years ago it went bankruped. Nothing special about it food is just like applebees. take care
okay, I'm doing my Sweet 16 late June and I'm stuck between two ideas:
1) Take a party bus to Six Flags Great Adventure & the Wild Safari with about 30 of my friends.
2) Take a party bus to NYC with 30 of my friends & go to Central Park for pictures & eat at Planet Hollywood, in a room with a full view of Times Square.
Which one?!
PS: Has anyone ever used the Party Ride Bus? Do you think its safe?|||Six flags, mostly because I'm obsessed with that place. You can stay there for hours and not get bored. Central park has a time limit|||Definetly go to six flags because they have the awesome ride kingda ka there.|||wow, you really have 30 friends? when i was growing up, i literally had 0|||I think if you're going with such a large group you should do NYC-- enjoy dinner/Central Park etc. Think about Six Flags-- its going to be crowded, even during a weekday, and if you went you'll be waiting a long time to get on all of the good rides. Plus not everyone will be able to be on the same ride (even if you went in all of the rows, it would just be too difficult to manage/work out). I think you'd have a better time with a big group enjoying the city, rather than trying to get all 30 people waiting around on long lines on a hot day. Plus to really enjoy Six Flags you have to get the Gold Flash Pass which cuts down your wait time to almost nothing- but that's $128 for 2 people... so that's way too much for 30 people hehehe. Anyway, I'd say go to the city. I've never taken the party bus-- try googling reviews for it. Have a great bday! :)
Two 25 year old friends going on vacation to vegas . Which would be more fun the paris or planet hollywood?|||For more fun, definitely Planet Hollywood. For a more relaxing time, then do Paris.
For the best rates for these hotels, check out http://www.mycheapvegas.com
Cheers!|||Paris Hotel & Casino is centrally located which makes it nice for visiting other attractions. The rooms are decent but not their selling point. Paris offers lots of shops and the theme is nice. The con is that it reeks of cigarette smoke in all the public areas.
Planet Hollywood use to be called Alladin. The rooms are also decent but the theme is not as nice as Paris. Rooms are standard. Nothing special.
My recommendation of the 2 is Paris for location. Who cares about how plush the rooms are when you will be spending most of your time outside of your room.
If you are looking for the best of both worlds (sophistication and location) I recommend The Palazzo, The Venetian or Wynn. All 3 places have amazing rooms with comfort in mind and all offer some of the best entertainment in Las Vegas! These 3 places are also centrally located.
Another recommendation or 2 include Hard Rock Hotel and Casino which has awesome bedding with a decent room and fun entertainment. Drawback, not on the strip!
The Palms is also a fun place for young adults with some of the nice rooms in Vegas!
All recommendations are suitable for 25 year old ladies looking for a good time!
Have fun!|||PH, has the better mall, hot dog stand, shows, food court, individual restaraunts, larger parking garage, casino, STARBUCKS. Remember to tip the casino employees!|||I'd rather stay at Planet Hollywood. It has the Miracle Mile and is a newer hotel.|||I think you should stay in downtown Las Vegas at the comfort inn|||i think the paris, i do not like planet holllywood|||PH is best suited|||paris is trash, i wouldnt let me worst enemy stay there
original name in 1963 and renamed later in 1966?|||Even though this question appears to be in the forbidden "Pop Quiz" format, I'll answer...
The Aladdin (1966-1998)
King's Crown Hotel (1964-1966)
Tally Ho Hotel (1963-1964)|||Is this supposed to be a trick question?
Planet Hollywood used to be Aladdin, but not the original Aladdin from the 60s. That casino was imploded and an entirely new Aladdin that I think was owned by different people completely was built in the 90s.
I saw an ad for it at planetout.com and was just wondering....thanks!|||Try Google
i just did.. and yes they r are gay friendly|||I went there. It wasn't gay oriented, but nobody lynched me. It was fun.|||Most of Vegas is.|||what does gay friendly mean w/ reference to a hotel? as far as i know no hotels care who rents their rooms and what you do in them.|||It wasn't specifically aimed at us, but it was a pretty cool place. I just got back from there last week. Most of Vegas is pretty laid back, the locals are immune to everything - they see it all. It's the narrowminded tourists that one has to watch out for.
Go, have fun!|||What the fuc_ is gay friendly? You people are weird!!
I'm planning a trip in January and I've been so indecisive whether to settle with PH or TI. I've read comparisons and both hotels have the same reviews, which makes it harder to choose. We've been to Vegas several times in the past, but my boyfriend and I are finally going alone. We're 21-22, but we're a laid back couple so a partying environment is not a priority.
Where would you stay if you were to help me decide? :)|||Laid back says TI to me. You then can go to Mirage via free monorail, walk acorss the street to Venetian, Palazzo, Wynn and Encore. I loved TI.
Personally I find the casino at PH dark, loud/noisy, and small|||Either way, Planet Hollywood is the safer bet. The location is nicer, there's a mall right inside, great atmosphere, live bands, and overall, is the better hotel anyways. Also, there's no resort fees as opposed to the $25 TI resort fee, which makes PH cheaper as well. There's no question PH is the way to go.
Also, you can find coupons and las vegas hotel specials at http://www.mycheapvegas.com
Cheers!|||Both are great hotels but I would suggest Planet Hollywood. The location is terrific and PH is running some pretty good deals right now with 20% off Suites and 15% off a (3) night stay. Regardless of which hotel you choose, Treasure Island or Planet Hollywood, both are quite nice and I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay. Have fun!
http://www.vegascodes.com/planet-hollywo鈥?/a>|||PH does have a party environment, so if you want to stay away from partying, then I'd avoid that hotel. If you don't mind being around it, PH is in a good location and is a nice place. TI is plenty nice, and its location is also pretty good, but it does have the resort fee tacked on to the daily rate. It is much more laid back than PH.|||I have stayed at both and I would recommend Planet Hollywood for the location. TI is just OK in my opinion. If the price is the same for you I would actually recommend Paris or Monte Carlo over either of these.|||PH is more hip and geared toward your crowd of people 21-35 years old crowd, they have the better pools, better shopping, gaming is about the same, both have good locations, PH has the newer looks and tons of shops, GO PH!|||PH over TI for many reasons. The first is the resort fee that TI charges which is an additional $20 per day. Second is PH has a great location being right in the middle of the strip.|||I have not stayed at either but I have been to Vegas a few times. My vote would be TI! I think it is a better location and more laid back. Good luck have fun!|||Treasure Island|||PH has the mall, some theatres with live acts, buffet, food bar area, pinks hot dog stand, casino.|||treasure island more laid back, one negative 20.00 a day resort fee.
las vegas, planet hollywood .its the best food ever little pricey but worth it all i had a sever named lisa chau is the best server i can count for and her partner lisa longoria is good to so not an anwer just saying the best food=]|||Some time if the service is great it makes everything feel better.|||What did you have|||Is the food so good as the server?
Haha
going to vegas, staying at planet in the panoramic view room. I'm wondering what are my chances of getting to stay on the fountain side with the view of paris and bellagio fountains? did you guys go and get the view and also HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY FOR THE ROOM?|||You just never know.
When you reserve your room, tell them to put in a request for it. When you check-in see what they gave you. And perhaps slipping them a 20$ if for some reason the view you want is "sold out".
Me & my boyfriend are going to Vegas this summer, but which one of these should we stay at? Here's a little about us. We're both 25, I want to do some shopping of course, we want to party, casino, not be to far from everything, on strip of course, we decided not to rent a car which is why we don't want to be TOO far from everything, but a slight distance is fine. Good dining, nice entertainment, etc. What do u think?|||Caesars Palace is the nicest of the three properties... but the cheapest room (the room you get if you don't request anything specific) at Caesars is probably not nearly as nice as the cheapest room at Planet Hollywood, which is all brand new (it was all remodeled after changing over from being the Aladdin.) I rate MGM as #3 on your list.
Caesars has about 200 shops in their Forum Shops mall and is not too far of a walk to another 200 shops in Fashion Show Mall (you walk past the Mirage, then Treasure Island; then the mall is next.)
Planet Hollywood has 170 shops in their Miracle Mile.
Caesars is upscale and "old school" while PH is like a futuristic science fiction party. The atmospheres are almost polar opposites. So if you like luxurious surroundings and the ancient Roman theme, and being near 2 huge malls, pick Caesars. If you prefer the newness of a just remodeled property and a modern interior design, pick PH.
And don't go for the least expensive room at either property unless your budget forces you to. Your vacation memories will last a lifetime. Staying in a cheap room is like eating at McDonalds, only worse because it lasts longer. Go to each hotel's web site and click on "accomodations", they each have 5 or 6 different types of rooms.|||I would choose Caesars - it is one my favorite resorts, and is right in the middle of the strip. There are lots of attractions, restaurants, clubs, and great shops within easy walking distance. You can also pretty easily walk to most other locations on the strip. The rooms at Caesars are really nice, and the pool area there is great too. You can't go wrong with Caesars.
MGM and Planet Hollywood are both nice, fun places. But they are located toward the south end of the strip. There is a lot to do in that area, but it's not as convenient to everything else on the strip. You can always take the monorail or bus if you choose to stay there though.|||All three of those are a good choice. Caesars is right in the middle of the strip but is the most expensive of the three you chose. Planet Hollywood caters to a younger crowd which might be a good choice for you but the pool area isn't that great. MGM has the better pool area but it is always packed with so many guests. Caesars looks like the best choice for you.|||Pick the one with the best room deal because you won't spend that much time in the room. All are great hotel casinos. MGM is on corner with Tropicana, NYNY, Monte Carlo, Luxor, Excalibur and Mandalay Bay. Planet Hollywood is not on a corner. Caesars Palace is on the corner with Bellagio, Ballys, Bills, Flamingo, and paris.|||PH!
Young crowd, good location, shopping, clubs, places to eat.
MGM is too...Grand. Caesar's hasn't ben updated in a while. PH was updated in Nov. 2008 and is home to the Miss America pageant. Enjoy!|||They're all good hotels, PH caters for your age group and is pretty well located, Caesars has the best location in the middle of the Strip and MGM Grand is massive with a great pool area but quite far South on the strip|||All these hotels are fine but in summer I would choose MGM Grand because of the great pool areas. I would also check the current hotel promotions for these hotels on http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com in order to get the best price.
Im spending 3 nights in Vegas and wondered which hotel its the best. I have to chose from these 2. Thankyou!!|||Both Hotels are nice I like New York New York nut Planet Hollywood might be a better location. I do not think you will be disappointed in either one. Good Luck|||Both hotels are very nice, it really depends on your age, what kind of things you plan to do in vegas and stuff like that.
I havent been to either two of the pools so I cannot comment on that but both casinos are amazing, Planet Hollywood is a bit more hip and for the younger generation, I'd say New York New York was for younger people also, by younger I mean 21-35's.
The location isnt very much of a difference, New York New York is a bit more nearer the end of the strip, up with Luxor, Tropocana, Mandalay bay etc and right next door to Monte Carlo. The Planet Hollywood is a fab hotel though - the rooms are amazing in this hotel, if you are planning on staying in a hollywood hip room (think this is one of the lowest ones you can get) that room is amazing!|||planet hollywood. it has alot of intresting stores such as urban outfitters and a store with all magic things. its a magic store, it think its called hodini or something like that haha. and another store with all different types of hats. it might be called the mad hatter, im not sure. planted hollywood use to be the aladdin if you didnt already know that. urban outfitters is a clothing store and has alot of cute clothes. it also has a really, reallyyyyyy delicious buffet. its located by urban outfitters, but it is so good!!! it has different types of foods from all over the world. italian, mediteranian, american, french, japanese, chinese, mexican,ect. oh! and cotton candy haha. i find it much more intresting. new york new york? umm yeah it has an arcade, some karoke resturant where drunk guys sing.. and a roller coaster thats not even that exciting.
oh, and i think that planet hollywood has a much more nice and clean, comfy atmosphere. everytime i go to nyny i feel kind of stuffy.|||I hate Planet Hollywood as a hotel. NY NY is better. Problem is, Planet Hollywood is in a much better location than NY NY, IMO. So, I think I would stay at PH, but not gamble there. It's impossible to win any money at that hotel. Their slots are super-tight.
Have fun in Vegas! I love that place!!!
Trivia- Planet Hollywood is on the site where the old Aladdin used to stand. That's where Elvis and Lisa Marie got married!!! :) You should watch the implosion video on YouTube. Cool Stuff.|||Stayed at NYNY twice... it was nice but if i had to pick again I'd say Planet Hollywood only because it's in the middle of the Strip. I don't know how the rooms are, but hey you're only sleeping there right? NYNY cost more for a taxi bc the way it is set up the driver has to go all the way around the building. If you stay at Planet you could walk anywhere on the Strip no problem. NYNY is also more family friendly, they have a roller coaster (scary as s h i t) and no good clubs. it also has a bridge that connects to Excalibur, but it could be very confusing to get out to the main strip from either hotel if this is you're first time there, planets casino opens right up to the strips main sidewalk. If you're going to party stay at planet. If you're going to enjoy Vegas during the "day" NYNY might be what you want. hope i helped.|||New York new York! I didn't stay there, we were at the MGM across the street, but we went in a looked around and my mum said if we ever went again we'd stay there!
It has a roller coaster to! A ROLLER COASTER!!! Also, You can walk down the strip from there, I think Planet Hollywood is further down, if i remember correctly?
Anyway New York New York would be my choice.|||planet hollywood has better shopping, but ny ny is better to gamble (looser slots, friendlier dealers, etc...)
planet hollywood has good sit down resturants but nyny has great fast food like pizza, hot dogs etc.
if you have any kids nyny has an arcade as well as a roller coaster and espnzone, planethollywood again has shops thats all.|||Both hotels are very fine. I think PH has the better location but NYNY have very good hotels like Mandalay or MGM around. Anyway you cannot go wrong with any of these hotels. Before you book make sure to check the current hotel promo code offers on http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com if you would like to save some bucks on your nightly room rates.|||Planet Hollywood is small but nice but not easy walking to other casinos. NYNY is great. Love the inside casino area and you are by Luxor, Monte Carlo, Tropicana, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, and Excalibur. I would take NYNY any day|||I've visited Las Vegas 18 times the past 17 years and would not even hesitate in choosing Planet Hollywood over NY NY.|||Planet Hollywood has been newly renovated. Its more centralized on the strip. It has a large shopping mall attached and is lot of fun. New York New York isn't as good location wise and doesnt have as much to offer|||Definitely stay at New York, New York.
That hotel is fantastic.
Planet Hollywood is OK. It doesn't have what New York, New York has.|||I am not a fan of the Hard Rock or it's location. NY NY is a much better location. The Hotel is mid range. Shoot for a suite room at NY NY and have fun.|||I would say its a toss up as far as quality. planet Hollywood has a younger crowd and dealers in hotter outfits..If you're in your twenties you might want to go with PH, its pretty much mid strip.|||Planet Hollywood|||PH! Heard they upgraded the rooms linens and bedrooms! Less kids at the Pool than NYNY!
Shopping mall inside PH!|||Planet Hollywood, has the best location. So I would stay there if I were you.|||Well i've never been 2 Vegas but my mom and my sister spent 3 nights there and they said that the New york New york hotel was awesome cuz that's where they stayed. so I would say New york New york
Im staying in Planet Hollywood for 5 days, and they charge a $4.99 resort fee for everyday you stay. And the resort fee gives you 2 bottle of waters and a FUNBOOK, I was wondering do they give me 5 Funbooks or just 1 Funbook for the entire stay? And what about the water is it 2 bottles everyday or 2 bottles for the entire stay?|||Resort fees in my opinion is a rip-off but most hotels in Vegas are now charging them because it's pure profit for them. At PH, you get 2 bottles of water for each day you stay there. You also get a funbook for each day you stay there. Funbooks are actually free so if you want more, they will give you more.
When you check-in, in addition to your room key, they will print out the coupons that you can redeem for the water and hand you the funbooks.
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/fun-book.鈥?/a>
FYI, the coupons in the funbook will only be valid at Planet Hollywood
On their website, they state that you can make a reservation but they do not guarantee you a room when you get there...!!! Has anyone try booking over the internet and then not getting a room?? please help. I'll travel by mid June.Thanks!|||Not sure what part you are looking at but when I book (at least a 2 night stay) they charge my credit card the first night this is the guarantee that my reservation is made and the room is held for me.
If you are trying reserve a room without a credit card (don't know any hotel that does) this may be reason that there is no guarantee.
If you are not secure in your feelings about booking on line then I would suggest you call them to make the reservation and get the confirmation.
Now hat being said you may be requesting a specific room like a strip view. All room requests are based on availability upon check in.
This does not mean you will not have a room when you get there. It just means you may not get the exact room you want.
Good luck and have fun.

Were staying there feb 17 - 20th and just wanted to know what to expect.|||Totally revamped and just a year old and right in the center of the south strip. And if you have a street view you should be able to see the fountain show at the Bellagio.|||great .. they have the miracle mile with many places to go shop at|||Good, The Hard Rock is full of hookers....The Wynn breakfast is lovely.|||Eh.. It's ok. I shop there every once in a while.
Not my fav. I love Mandalay Bay, The Palms, and the Hard Rock the best for good eats and a crazy good time.|||There are several room types at the Planet Hollywood: Hollywood Hip, resort, resort vista, and then several suites. The Hollywood Hip rooms are slightly larger than average at 450 s.f., and a huge amount of that space is in the bathroom. Each has "real" movie memorabilia in them.
Bathrooms have marble counter tops, separate soaking tubs and showers and a private little water closet. There are flat-screen TVs, ironing boards and safes as well as two telephones, one is cordless. Nice carpeting, comfortable beds and furniture.
The lobby is too small and there is sometimes a long wait to check in. Very good buffet, one of the best. Two casinos, the upstairs one is for high rollers. Good shows. Occasionally you will run into "street" performers or acrobats performing for free in the 3rd floor rotunda. There are over 130 shops to gawk at.
There is the "priv茅" night club that is good but not one of the most exclusive. There is not too long of a wait.
Planet Hollywood has a mostly 30ish crowd with money to spend as a clientele.
*|||Oh I been there before, Used to be the Aladdin, but they took it out and re-builded Planet Hollywood. Its a good Casino, they have like 2 floors, but the first floor is the Casino. Its like any other casino there is in vegas. But Planet Hollywood looks more urban and flashy.

There are many offers for all of the hotels you've mentioned try checking here http://www.smartervegas.com/hotels.aspx|||Mirage is my fave 'cause of it's location, but PH is more updated and has a younger crowd.
MGM is too...Grand so I would avoid that one of the 3. Enjoy!
My family is looking for a hotel in Vegas for next week. We want something that's kind of nice, but not too pricey for the weekdays. Roughly $100 or less a night. Any ideas? Planet Hollywood and Treasure Island are two of the hotels we have looked at. But which is better?
And also, a few of us are 19&20 and have no idea what to do in Vegas, seeing that we cant gamble.
:) thanks in advance!|||At least at Planet Hollywood you have access to the Miracle Mile Shops, which is more than what TI has for teenagers. If you want a pool, though, make sure to check with the hotel first as many pools may not be open yet.|||Definitely go with the Planet Hollywood. The hotel is great and the rooms are nice. Great location on the Vegas strip and across from the Bellagio and it's fountains.
Planet Hollywood will also offer you a better deal than TI because PH will not charge you a resort fee while Treasure Island will charge you an additional $20 /day in resort fees.
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/harrahs-d鈥?/a>|||Planet Hollywood by a landslide! For those under 21 it will be leaps and bounds better than TI. Plus, you will be in the middle of the Strip. At TI you have a loooong walk to go anywhere outside of the Mirage and Venetian.|||TI is the best. What to do if under 21. Check our local newspaper www.lvrj.com and click on entertainment
Can anyone tell me approximately how far of a walk it is from the MGM Grand Hotel to Planet Hollywood/Miracle Mile in Vegas?|||It is about a 15 minute walk.|||Maybe two? Its a bit of a walk-I'd just hop in a taxi-it wouldn't run much|||i actually stayd at the MGM grand, but never went to the miracle mile... who cares though walking through vegas is really cool i like to rent those little vehicles you should do that if it ends up too far!
mine? opinions needed!
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>|||It's about a ten minute walk depending on what time of day your walking. The sidewalk in some areas is narrow, thus clogging occurs.|||The Miracle Mile is just the shops inside of Planet Hollywood. And they are about a 10-15 minute walk from the doors of MGM Grand. It's not very far at all. In fact, use the interactive maps on this link to see how far they are http://ww.visitlasvegas.com/vegas/stay/p鈥?/a>
Click on "THE STRIP (SOUTH)"
MGM Grand is the green building that looks like a cross on top, and Planet hollywood is the white building to the right of that. The only thing in between them is the showcase mall.|||It is about a 10 minute walk. Be sure to use the exit next to the West Wing bar. From there, you're much closer to PH than if you use the main exit.|||If you walk at a good pace, without stopping.. its only about 10 mins. Maybe even less.
The Vegas strip can be extremely crowded though. Sometimes slowing you down quite a bit. Either way, its not a bad walk.|||It's not that far. Probably only 5-10 minutes, depending on street lights and how many people are out. You could always ride the monorail if you're lazy lol.|||It's about a 10 - 15 minute walk. They are both on the same side of the road too.
Be sure to check out the indoor rain show.|||Looong Walk or a short cab ride...
No there's none here. The closest one to the DC area is in Myrtle Beach.|||Look on their web page.|||try to go on the Internet and find out. but i don't think there is but i haven't been around town for a good wile.
hope this helped you and if it didn't I'm so sorry|||All of the planet hollywoods in VA and DC are gone, Try their website to see where they are located.|||that place sucks. thats ehy there not here.|||i think there is one in downtown not to far from the Capitol.
The painting is of the back of a woman with a black background. she has long hair and wearing a red dress that is open showing the skin of her back. i believe that there were what looked like flames on the bottom of the painting. has anyone seen this painting and know the name or the artist. thanks|||Never seen it, but you could contact the gallery. They should help.
Whats your opinion of this hotel? Ive been searching for the best hotel for me and my husband to go to when we visit Las Vegas in August for my 22nd birthday. Just wondering what peoples opinions are of Planet Hollywood?? My other choices are Golden Nugget, Paris and Flamingo but Ive read some bad reviews...Planet Hollywood seemed to have the best reviews of them all. But just wanted to see if I could get some other answers here. Any opinions are appreciated!! :)|||I stayed at the Mirage on my first trip to Vegas and I loved it. But both my boyfriend and I agreed that on our next trip, we'd stay at Planet Hollywood. It's true center strip and most of the things we wanted to do were a short walk from there. They had great shopping and a great atmosphere. Some rooms even have a view of the Bellagio fountains across the street which are beautiful.
The Flamingo is also in a great location but a little bit of an older hotel. If you can get a newly renovated room, then I think that would be my second choice. Paris is also great but it's more expensive than Planet Hollywood and the Flamingo, and I don't think it's worth the extra money.
Golden Nugget is about 20 mins from the strip on Fremont St. Not walking distance to the strip. They do have a great pool, and is centrally located in downtown Las Vegas. If you are wanting to stay on Fremont St, Golden Nugget is the best choice. But judging by your other options, I think you want to stay on the strip.
Just a suggestion... I really loved the Mirage. They had one of the best pools, Sigfried & Roy's Secret Garden was awesome, great selection of restaurants, newly renovated rooms that were HUGE with the comfiest beds, and the casino was a nice size. I loved the atmosphere of it too. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. AND it's priced in the middle.
Check out www.tripadvisor.com to see some traveler's reviews and photos. That always helps me to make my mind up.|||PH is meant for people in their 20's but so is Luxor. Golden Nugget is the senior crow. Paris and Flamingo are all ages.|||Stay away from downtown at your age. Flamingo is a lot older than PH and should be a lot cheaper also than PH or Paris. Paris is usually sold out and crowded. PH is a good choice and you may see some movie stars there since they own it.|||I would go with the flamingo. Great pool, and remodeled rooms with flat screens on an affordable budget.|||Planet Hollywood is in a good location, has rooms that are well appointed. Although they have a large 450 sq ft footprint a lot of the space is taken up by the overly large bathroom. The Lobby is much too small so if it is busy when you arrive you can have quite a wait to check in. The pool is only fair.
The Mirage, as another has suggested, is worth a look. They have a younger crowd. They also have a great pool area complete with a waterfall and for a fee, there is even a pool area called BARE that allows European swimming, or toppless as we say in the States if that is your thing.
What draws the younger crowd is the Jet Night Club and the fact that the Mirage and Treasure Island are connected by a free tram. Treasure Island has Christian Audigier The Nightclub as well as Mist a trendy lounge and Kahunaville an all out Party Bar. Kahunaville is casual dress, no cover, has a DJ and Flair Bartenders. It is more raucus and fun than the attitude Clubs but that is my opinion.
The main point is that Mirage has the Volcano erupt out front in the evening and Treasure Island has the Pirate show so most young people watch the fountains at Bellagio, then move up the Strip to see the Volcano and Pirate thing because you are able to use the tram to travel back and forth. The night time is turned over to the Party People due to this fact. That is why I suggest it for people in their early twenties. Heck, the rooms even have Ipod docks.
You do not state how long your stay is. If it is less than 5 days you will appreciate being in the heart of the action. Most of what you will want to see and do will be within walking distance. Believe me, that is an important consideration on the Strip.
*|||I went there recently. They have the worse service ever. The hotel looks good but you get lost with the mall they have inside. Plus is always dead no atmosphere what so ever. I will never stay here again!!|||I've stayed at planet hollywood twice in the past two years and I LOVE IT!!! Its price is comparatively pretty good, its got the best location right across from the bellagio. We stayed in a room that faced the bellagio and were able to see the fountain show . They have a nice mall attached and we loved the casino. Also a lot of really great restaraunts inside it as well as the nightclub prive. Dont miss out on Pampas restaraunt. Its worth it Would definitely suggest there.
I'll be traveling to Vegas in August by myself. I already have reservations at Planet Hollywood for 2 nights but I am considering switching to Hooters for the price. I would save about $60 total. This would only be 2 nights of my trip and i'll be switching hotels again later in the week (Ceasar's Palace & Flamingo). This is my 4th time to Vegas but don't know what to expect at Hooters as a single female. Never been in the hotel before. Would a single female feel uncomfortable ? Or is there anything i should look out for? And is it worth me switching just to save a few $$?|||I've stayed at Hooter's twice...the room has always been clean and I've never had a problem. Last time I went I spent 3 nights at Hooter's and 2 at Paris. The room at Hooter's was better. Women are always shocked to hear that I like staying there, but I don't know why. Nothing happens at Hooter's that's any worse than the rest of Vegas.
Have you ever been to Hooter's restaurant? The atmosphere is the same...men AND women hanging out, drinking a few beers, and having fun.
The biggest reason you may want to switch is if Planet Hollywood is still under construction. The noise would drive me crazy.|||You shouldnt feel uncomfortable at all as a woman staying there. Compared to just about everything else in Vegas, the Hooters atmosphere is actually pretty tame. The woman actually have MORE clothes on than your average Vegas cocktail waitress.
As to whether or not it worth the savings, I would stay with Planet Hollywood for $30 a night. The reviews of the rooms at Hooters havent been spectacular and since it isnt the biggest place in town, there isnt really all that much to it. Planet Hollywood will have more to offer and its in a better location. I would stick with the reservation that you have.|||What he said =).
The only additional consideration might be a desire to have a room on the South end of the Strip for a couple of nights. While Hooters itself doesn't have much to offer, it would put you within easy walking distance of MGM Grand, NYNY, Mandalay Bay, and Luxor... so if you'd like to be conveniently located to check out the attractions/shows, etc that those properties have to offer, then you might appreciate spending a couple nights near them. (Especially considering the Planet Hollywood puts you within easy walking distance of the same properties that Flamingo and Caesar's do.)
I been to the Hard Rock Cafe plenty of times so i know what to expect to pay there,........but what about planet Hollywood?
Are they more expensive than the Hard Rock Cafe or about the same??|||Both these restaurants are commercialized tourist traps that charge you exorbitant prices for standard food in a surrounding that makes you think you are someplace special.
They are equal as far as I am concerned and I have been to both in many locales. They are pretty much identical in their menu, prices and trappings.|||I don't recommend either restaurant. Tourist trap rip offs, just as the other poster stated. I suggest Boston Pizza, on Clifton Hill. Much better prices, better food. Or, if you like the Hard Rock Cafe atmosphere, there's also the Rainforest Cafe, or TGIF's, Appleby's, all tourist traps, mass produced food...........
If you are looking for a unique experience, there are many places in the Falls, that only locals go to..........
I wanted to know how i can get my complimentary 2 bottles of water included with the $5.00 resort fee per night stay. And how many coupon books do you get? Im staying for 5 days, do I get 10 bottles of water and 5 coupon book, Im confused?|||You would get 10 bottles of water and 1 coupon book over the course of 5 days.
You will get your coupon book when checking in.
Your water will be delivered by the maid when they clean your room. To get full value, make sure you take the water from its original location and put it in your suitcase or something. If the water is still sitting there untouched, then the maid will not leave more.
You also get a daily newspaper, which should be outside your door each morning.
PH is a really nice hotel & casino - enjoy your stay!|||yes!! im pretty sure they do
and i love that hotel its amazing|||You get one coupon book per room per stay. So if you paid for four people you only get one coupon book. The housekeeper will put two bottle of water in your room when they clean it. Not worth the $4.99 a day is it? Since the coupon book is free for the asking and you can get those tiny bottles for $.25 each "Ice Cold" at the souvenier shops along the strip. Hmmmmmmm ... makes you wonder how they can steal your money that way.|||the water that the hotel puts in the room are not complimentary and you only get one coupon book for the stay, it don't matter if you stay one day or 100 days. all the hotel will give you is one coupon book for each person that's in the room and no free water in the rooms. if you want free bottle water set at a penny machine and pop one dollar in a machine and when the cocktail server comes around play one penny at a time and u will get a water bottle.|||Ask the front desk or call them before you arrive.
Buy it at CVS, Walgreens, 7-11 on the strip.
gift shop withing the Miracle Mile Mall sells the water.
MGM Grand has nicer rooms and better service. PH attracts more of a younger crowd. Both are fun places to stay. Go with the one that gives you better rates.
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/las-vegas鈥?/a>|||Neither one...in MY opinion...but between the two...MGM WINS hands down!!!
I "DO" really, really, really like MGM...am 'incredibly' familiar with the property...every inch of it, inside and out...including place that most employees aren't even allowed to see. SO, very close to The Best...and in some cases/comparison...the best.
I rate MGM much higher because their pools (plural!!!) are huge, lazy river etc...their shows are much better...they have many more restaurants in all price points, they have so many other things immediately outside their door that are GOOD spots to visit (M&M World, Coca-Cola Bottle, Hard Rock Cafe and much more!)...their shows are TOP Class (if you know where/how/who to book through you can get good deals too!)...they regularly update their rooms, have good nightspots (studio 54, etc)
Planet Hollywood...is "okay" on a budget...but their nightclubs have been shut down for allowing sexual activity INSIDE the club (multiple violations, the CITY shut them down...not the hotel!)....their restaurants are "okay" at best (experience)...perhaps the best for value of the dollar was the Hawaiian Tropics restaurant, but it's 'nitespot' allure is so weak they require their waitresses to be 'contestants' in a hotbody or bikini contests...and they are the only contestants 99% of the time...The brazilian steakhouse style restaurant has poor customer service, mediocre food quality/presentation and many bad reviews from me, my friends and industry professionals who have actually gone there....other than the 'rooms are cheap' and they are 'well located'....the property doesn't rate well with me, my friends, local professionals, etc in the other categories....including a mediocre at best pool (in comparison to Vegas standards).
Sorry for the poor opinion of Planet Hollywood...I was even part of the pre-opening team...before it became Planet Hollywood...so I really had high hopes for it...but operationally it has not done well.|||Planet Hollywood is smaller. But they have a killer sushi place called Todai. And the MGM is bigger and has alot more stuff in it. Either one is nice I suppose.|||I like MGM both in size and across the street from Tropicana, Mandalay Bay, Luxor, Excalibur, NYNY and Monte Carlo where you can catch a free tram to Aria and then onto Bellagio|||They are both great places to stay. Which one would be better probably depends what you are looking for.
Planet Hollywood has a bit of a younger, hipper vibe and is slightly better located.
MGM Grand has a better pool area and a larger selection of restaurants.
There are good deals for both going on, check out these pages:
Planet Hollywood: http://www.vegashotelspecial.com/index.p鈥?/a>
MGM Grand: http://www.vegashotelspecial.com/index.p鈥?/a>|||PALAZZO BABY... IT is up north of the strip but there are so many ways to get to the main part of the strip, LEGGS (HE HE) BUs on the strip with all day pass for $7.00 and the Mono Rail for all day Pass $7.00. I LOVED THE PALAZZO it was beautiful clean live I mean I did not come across one wrong thing and my ROOM the Furtuna was AMAZING.. GO FOR IT GIRL|||It depends: If you want to hang out with a younger crowd and party, then Planet Hollywood is the way to go. But if you just want a great hotel with great amenities and quality rooms, then MGM Grand is the way to go. Check out the links on both of them below to see if the information helps your decision.|||Both hotels are fine. Planet Hollywood has a great location but personally I would choose MGM Grand because of the great pool area. Anyway you cannot go wrong with any of these hotels just make sure to keep an eye on http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com for the latest promo codes and offers for these and other Las Vegas hotels as well.
Can I come to you job site and offer you $$ to break the rules and then you will lose your job.
But say, the person gave me some $$.
This is an urban legend. Do you really want to see someone lose thier job at Christams because you are to cheap to pay for a room upgrade.
Tell us. WE want to know.|||Nope but its not the hotel, its the person that takes your reservation. He/She can be cool or a jerk. I did it as caesar palace and got a jacuzzi room for free which would of cost me an extra $100 bucks a night! You sandwich the $20 bill between your drivers license and credit card, but no i havent stayed at the PH yet to try!|||That trick is a cruel joke. The only way to upgrade a room is to pay for it or deal with the hotel manager. The desk clerk has NO authority, money or not.
hey..does anyone know the nearest hotel next to planet hollywodd in jakarta??i need to make reservations online for a frend but i cant remember the name...help!!!|||There is a hotel exactly next to planet hollywood, the name is Kartika Chandra Hotel. I think it's a 4 / 5 star hotel. Hope it's the one you're looking for.|||Yes, it's Kartika Chandra Hotel, owned by the Indonesian Army. Website is www.kartikachandra.com, but I think it's currently under construction...
My daughter is a contestant in the Miss America 2008 competition. It will take place in Jan. in Las Vegas at the Planet Hollywood Resort.
Can someone give me advice on where to stay? I know that PH is very expensive. I will be there for 8 nights and I will be traveling with children and 2 other adults. My budget is limited as well.
Tips on what to do during the day would be great also. And advice on family shows too.
Thanks.|||you can go to circus circus casino since it's in the LV strip.....it's a good place to keep children occupied...they have free circus acts in the midway in circus circus....or you can go to excalibur casino also but excalibur has a king arthur theme to it ^^|||Congratulations on your daughter making it to the competition what state is she from? I will make sure to watch. I would check out the Platinum Hotel. The rooms are fair price, I believe they are large enough for all of you to stay in one room which will cut down the price. Also look into the Flamingo.|||You might be able to find cheap rates all over in January, Excalibur, Circus Circus and Statosphere are the first places to look and good rooms. Circus Circus like someone was saying is good for the kids, there's a few malls on the strip, and one being right in PH.|||I believe circus circus is a pretty good place to stay. However, you are talking about Las Vegas, so it will pretty much depend on your budget. Plus you have to remember that you are going during a time of a major event,2008 Miss America, so hotels tend to run high during the event. If you want to save on all of your future travel, go to http://mkyholmes.wholesaletravelnow.com. This really is true savings. You pretty much purchase a vacation package to become a member. You never pay retail on hotel, resorts, condos, cruises, and more ever again. It's an awsome package. I went to Disney World and only paid $12 a night. That's a bargain.

Burger menu, not cheap, children like it!|||agree with kirsty rain forest cafe much more fun food much better my kids used to love it there
Trying to decide between the two. Wondering if Planet hollywood is totally converted from the Aladdin. If anything is better feel free to let me know. This is for a family trip two adults and two teens. Anything specifically good for the two teens would be greatly appreciated.|||In general, MGM Grand is a better hotel than Planet Hollywood (and it has a far larger pool). MGM is also better for teens. Luxor and New York, New York are next door. They both cater to older children - with a wide variety of IMAX films, motion simulators, arcades, and a very real roller coaster (in the same way Circus Crcus and Excalibur might appeal to younger children).
Having said that, there might be other reasons to stay at PH...
For one thing, you might get a better deal on the room, and the comps at PH are pretty generous.
Although MGM has a huge and famous casino, I've also found that the slots at PH's mediocre casino tend to payout a little better (at least, this was true when it was still struggling as the Aladdin). This is true of much of Vegas though. The more extravagant and beautiful the casino, the greater the odds are stacked against you. After all, the money for those gaudy statues gotta come from somewhere.
MGM has great high-end restaurants. I've been to Nob Hill and Shibuya - both were excellent, but they were very pricey ($100.00 plus a person). PH has more affordable dining options. These include two good buffets: Todai's Japanese Buffet and the Spice Market.
Walking distances to shows should be a consideration. If you're going to see O at the Bellagio (or Celine Dion and Elton John at Caesars Palace), PH makes a good home base.
But, of course... if you're going to Mamma Mia, Zumanity, or KA, you want to stay at MGM instead. Overall, I think MGM is superior to PH. However, as I stated, there might be other reasons to choose PH.|||mgm. its very cool there. but the best hotel on the strip is caesers palace! it has amazing service and the best rooms. try caesars!|||mgm is far better place to stay. visit the mall at PH, but stay at MGM.|||The MGM Grand is great an it is huge, the rooms are very nice and there are many things available inside the resort.|||I love the MGM Grand. They have a nice pool area, but I hear the best pool is at Mandalay Bay. Just a short ways by the free tram from MGM.|||I've never stayed at Planet Hollywood/Aladdin. But I have stayed at the MGM Grand and absolutely loved it. The rooms were wonderful and very comfortable. The casino is very spacious with lots to see and do. There is a monorail stop to get you up and down the strip easily (however with four people it might be cheaper to take a cab). The pool area is wonderful.
MGM is near the Luxor which has an IMAX theater and an arcade that your teens might enjoy. It is also near the M&M store, the coke store and another arcade.|||Stay at the MGM visit PH.|||MGM is way better. Nothing will really help the teens, as LV is not a great place for teenagers.|||I would stay at the MGM Grand. It definitely has the better pool - they have a larger area and a lazy river! Plus, all-around, it would be my preferred hotel to stay at. There are enough interesting casinos within walking distance to keep things interesting too.|||The MGm may be better pool wise and they may be able to keep the teens a little bit more busy.|||MGM Grand hands down! Try to get a west wing room if you can, they've been recently remodeled. If you got some serious money you can stay in a Skyloft!
But if you have kids the MGM will provide plenty of entertainment, it has a huge pool and an arcade and next door to it you'll find Gamerworks (a super arcade) and a movie theater as well as a bunch of other kid oriented stores!
Planet Hollywood used to be the Aladdin, it sucked then, and it sucks now. All they did was remodel the entrance, but it still has the crappy Aladdin rooms and tiny pool.|||If I had my choice I'd rather stay at the MGM Grand.
Is it a restaurant or a casino? What is it?|||You will find The Planet Hollywood Restaurant located in Times square, on the corner of Broadway and 45th Streets. The exact address and phone number-
Planet Hollywood

There is a Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino. I was just there not too long ago. It's located in Las Vegas Nevada.|||It is a restaurant. It is located at 45th St. and Broadway in Times Square|||it is a restaurant, right next to Virgin Megastore in Times Square
Has anyone stayed at the New Planet Hollywood rooms lately. Can't find any pictures. Are the rooms still in the Aladdin style or have they been changed yet to reflect the "Hollywood" theme?|||I stayed there a few months ago when they were turning into Planet Hollywood. The room we stayed in have a couple of Hollywood prints on the wall and a movie prop on the wall (in a protective case, can't steal it). I can't say much about the old Alladin style room (most hotel rooms in Vegas do not have themes), but this room did show signs of Planet Hollywood.
I was more impressed with the very spacious bathroom. I seriously doubt that they would get rid of the bathrooms (those did have a bit of an arabic feel to them).
They are making the change right now. I was there a couple of months ago and it looked like a total dump, they were still doing extensive work on it. I was glad I wasn't staying there.|||I was just in there last week. Though they are working on it, it sure doesn't look like a dump. They are working on both the casino and the Desert Passage shopping area. Just as an aside, I didn't think the Spice Market Buffet was all that either. The skewered meat was good but the various "stations' had very little selection. The Desserts were an exception. Plenty of quality sweets to choose from.|||It was originally predicted to be ready by this fall, but the most recent news is that it will be ready next spring. They have converted a good majority or the rooms already and are working in the casino and shopping areas. It's kinda wierd because one room with have a middle-eastern theme then the room across the hall with have this complete hollywood, contemporary theme. Kinda wierd, but it'll be a nice hotel once finished.
I am going to Montreal soon for my birthday party..any fun restauraunts for teen girls (14-15)??|||The hard rock is okay but our planet hollywood closed down a long time ago. The hard rock is on Crescent street and that is the coolest street in the downtown area. A lot of the resto's on the street are good there is Weinstein and Gavino's also Pizza Pino or Dundee's.
If you have a chance go to Scwartz's deli on St. laurent Boulevard it is a smoked meat place thats like pastrami but better. This place is famous and there is always a line up.
have fun its a good town to eat in|||there's this pancake restaurant thats really good! its really worth it! and theres an expensive sushi/Japanese restaurant that's really hip.|||Well I like Hard Rock cafe in Downtown Montreal of Jack Astor.

What is a good way to get a free upgrade at Planet Hollywood when checking in after booking through their site? (I didn't use Expedia or any other of those sites) I really want a Hollywood Strip View Room, was thinking about slipping them like $50 or something at the front desk. Anyone know?|||Free upgrades are rare and hard to come by in Vegas. They already have you booked into the hotel, so there really isn't much incentive for them to give you an upgraded room for free. Upgrades are typically reserved for frequent guests and/or big gamblers - they aren't given out for special occasions, for tips, and for reasons like that. You can try it, but chances are it won't work.|||Rooms aren't assigned until you check in. While checking in just ask for a room with a strip view. They may give it free if it is a slow night or they will tell you that their is an additional charge and might be less than the $50 that you were planning on slipping them. They have clamped down on the $20 trick. Just be upfront and see how things go. Besides if you slip them a $50 bill then it isn't free is it?|||Think. If you slip somebody $50.00 to get something, it it really free?
Back in 1999, Planet Hollywood had a drink called the Incredible Hulk. It was green, kind of fruity, and contained five liquers. That's all I remember. Does anyone know this recipe? |||1 shot vodka

It is a 'perfectly fine' property...as a 'bargain' deal.
Nothing particularly amazing about it...reasonably priced room rates (watch for 'add-on' fees though!)...and a decent 'on the strip' location. I have had a number of friends, clients, etc stay there, etc...but I have NEVER been 'impressed' with either the food, the service, the nightclub (which had been shut down before because of illegal activity happening in the club...bad and extensive enough that VEGAS said it was too much!!!...and closed them down!!! Not just a fine...shut them down for good.) Club should be open again, with different owners(?) and 'hopefully'(?) different staff...but I don't know for certain...I 'personally' avoid the property because of my and my friends poor service experiences (nearly 100% of the time).
But, that said...cheap rooms and a good strip location...is often good enough for 'bargain hunters'.
IF you are looking for a NICE property...look elsewhere (Shame to have to say that, but I'm honest.)|||I stayed there, it is a very nice hotel with a great casino atmosphere and in a perfect location. It also has some really good prices if you book your room with a promotion code. Check http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com/categ鈥?/a> for the latest Planet Hollywood codes this can save money.|||Its a good place to stay and a really good location. The buffet is one of the best in Vegas.
I think its a good choice if you're not looking to spend a lot of money, and like a nice modern atmosphere.

It is a very nice place. There is a hotel tower connected directly to the casino and a separate brand new one
I work in the hotel but not for the hotel. (Planet Hollywood) Its all new and is more geared for the younger set but not the kid set. There are other hotels with more of a kid friendly atmosphere, Circus-circus, Excalibur, etc.
The hotel is all new, and with all the time share people, and the constant messages in the rooms, and all the other ways the hotel is trying to make money, you might be better off looking at a more kid friendly hotel.|||If your kids are 16 or so then Planet Hollywood would be okay. Not my first choice, for hotels in that(4 star) category, but okay.
If you have younger kids, I prefer.
Orleans

Or - Excalibur
Circus Circus is okay to visit, but I do not recommend staying there.
~Jack~|||Las Vegas itself is NOT ok for families!
Leave the kids home or go somewhere else.|||I don't know what your standards are as in "ok for families", but I will tell you that I found all of Las Vegas inappropriate for families.
When I was still married to my ex, one of the last "family" vacations we took was to Arizona, the Grand Canyon, and Las Vegas. It was the tail end of a business trip for him and supposed to help us reconnect as a couple and family. We stayed at the MGM Grand, which at the time had an amusement park and water park on site and was billed as a family place.
I had been to the "boats" in Louisiana before, and I assumed that the gambling would be similar to that and partitioned so that only 21 and over would be allowed in that part. Wrong I was--the slots and machines were everywhere! In the airport, in the hotel lobby, in restaurants; you couldn't get away from them. Kids aren't supposed to be standing around them or using them, but you have to walk by them to get anywhere. It was hard to keep my son who loves video games and even my baby daughter who was attracted to the noise and lights away from them.
Then, about the 4th or 5th time we saw cross-dressers in public and the kids were staring, I really knew it was time to go home.
Maybe I'm just a prude, but I saw nothing family-oriented in the whole town.|||ur so luckii :)
have fun
if so, what kinds of liquors can you get with the offer? anything top shelf? and how good is the selection/how much would it cost if we just went out and got a bottle ourselves?|||Their web site has some info about it...

"Offer includes a choice of amenity beverages as follows: one bottle of either wine, champagne or spirits for each night of stay, as selected from Planet Hollywood鈥檚 designated specialty menu, subject to brand availability."
Look around their web site, I think they have more specific info posted somewhere, I was looking at it last week and think they said Skyy vodka was one of the selections.

I've heard some bad reviews about it recently where people have said it's really gone down hill.|||It was never good in the first place. Planet Hollywood in the US went bankrupt a long time ago. The original restaurant had original movie memorabila but the cheap copies in all the other restaurants were boring. Bad food, tourist class service, etc make them all a drag.|||Why single London?? Planet Holywood is rubish in all meanings of the word worldwide...|||it's nothing that you cant miss... nothing great, millions of better places to try!|||Honestly, they are all rubbish. It is the only restaurant where the t-shirts are better than the food.|||don't know Ive never been.
I'm traveling to Las Vegas in two weeks and can get my flight for about $100 cheaper if I fly into Las Vegas at 8am, which wouldn't be a problem with me (more time for fun!). My question is will the hotel hold my luggage until check-in time? Is there a fee to hold the bags or do I just go up to the check-in desk and tell them my situation? If anyone could let me know or give me any other helpful hints or things not to miss in Vegas, I'd appreciate it... First timer here! Thanks!|||Yes. Go up to the check-in desk and politely ask if you are able to check in first (if the hotel is not full, we have been allowed to check in early), if not, then they will direct you to the bell-hop who will take your bags & give you a claim ticket to turn in when you do check in. No charge; but a tip is expected. (same for the day you leave as well-they can hold them until your flight leaves). While waiting for check-in you can usually use the pool--so you may want to pull out a suit before you give them your luggage. Otherwise, get your sunglasses and go find a nice spot & have a welcome drink and then start exploring--shopping, people watching whatever!.|||Sure They will !!!|||Yes, most if not all of them do that, just tip the baggage handler|||Las Vegas.... Shesh everyone expect your money! They will expect you pay TIPS!
Even if you want TAXI, the Taxi caller will expect your TIPS!
Even more the dealer at casine will expect your TIPS!!!
But most advesture in LAS Vegas and You will enoy it and worth once in your life time!|||They all do this for guests
Not to even worry|||Usually all hotels will hold your luggage for free if you have a reservation to stay there. especially in Vegas they kiss your A** but you should just give them a call!!|||Hey here is a thought go to the bell Captain and Check you Luggage their Tip Him they will give you a ticket to redeem you stuff when the bell Brings to you Tip him the whole process will cost you $6 I have done the reverse I check out and have the hold my luggage till my flight this should work if it Doesn't blame somebody else
I was looking up the restaurant cuz I forgot about that place for awhile since I haven't been to places that have it for awhile...i looked it up and theres not that many restaurants...only in the best places in the world like london, paris, dubai, hawaii, etc...we need one in california!! in hollywood!! or at least at downtown disney in anaheim...anyone know why there isn't one in cali??|||There isn't one in California specifically for the reason that Hollywood is in California. Company owners wanted to display what Hollywood was all about around the world. Why build a "Hollywood" in Hollywood?|||Planet Hollywood went bankrupt a few years ago. Many/most of their locations were closed. Tow that I think are still open is in Orlando (their downtown Disney) and in Las Vegas. There was never a Planet Hollywood in Hollywood, the closest was in Beverly Hills. Many of the heavily themed restaurants have done poorly in the past 5 years. The theme was nice for tourists but the menu was unimpressive (which didn't attract local and regular clientele). Hard Rock Cafe and Rainforest Cafe were having problems but have since improved somewhat.|||Wow! I had not noticed this but it does make sense. I live in Vegas and we have a large hotel/casino her and I am from LA so tomorrow I will go and check it out. I did not know that there was no Planet Hollywood in CA. but it all makes sense now.|||there was one in costa mesa ca, but they took it off, i remember there being one in hollywood like by universal studios but i dont know if its still there|||That would be like bringing sand to the beach.|||didn't Planet Hollywood go bankrupt?
I am staying at the stratosphere the first three nights and i have to deciede between planet hollwood or the golden nugget for the last night.|||For me the decision would be easily the Planet Hollywood Casino. Here are some of the reasons:
1. As someone said, it is in VERY close proximity to Bellagio (across the street) and is also very close to Paris (next casino over), MGM Grand, NewYorkNewYork, etc. Very good location on the strip.
2. Has some of the best shopping (aside from Caesar's Forum) on the Strip. It has a large selection of stores, and they are NOT all fancy and overpriced (as you will find at Bellagio and Venetian)
3. They have one of the best buffets in Vegas. The price is actually a little cheaper than some other casinos (like Wynn or Paris) but the quality is just as good and even better for certain things. If you have a rich palette, then Wynn is your bet - but if you're like me and you like good food and great quality, but not all that fancy stuff like fish eggs and proscuito (which I like, but not at a buffet) then this place is the best around. Kabobs, fresh made cotton candy, mediterrean rice, fresh pasta, and sauteed chicken and meats. Yum.
4. Good atmosphere and newly remodeled casino. The casino has been renovated and vastly improved since it used to be the Aladdin. The decor is modern now and the general crowd there is laid back and fun.
5. The value of the hotel is good. The price they charge is a good bargain for all you get. The rooms are really nice (also remodeled) with new furniture and great views of the city (consequence of being in prime location on the strip).
Have fun, I love vegas. Wish i was going. Hope this helps.|||Stay at Planet Hollywood it's on the strip, within walking distance of Caesars, Belliago, Paris etc. Golden Nugget is downtown at Fremont street experience.|||Planet Hollywood is on the strip near more of the big casinos. The Golden Nugget is Downtown and you would have to take a cab or shuttle to the strip. By that time you might be through with the strip anyway. Downtown are a lot of the older Casinos, It's actually kind of cool to see old style Vegas. Also there is a light show on Fremont Street, Street vendors, etc. from 6-12. Have Fun!!!|||Planet Hollywood would be my choice - it's mid strip and has some really great room rates right now. I've looked at the room photos and it looks pretty deluxe.|||Just stay at a non- expensive hotel, like golden nugget|||PH|||I stayed at the Alladin before it switched to Planet Hollywood.
The room was nicer than the Tropicana, Treasure Island and the Sahara which I have all stayed in. Wasnt very crowded, not too many kids either running around. Location is great as mentioned above.
If you are looking to spend time in old vegas (Freemont St) then the Nugget is probably the nicest hotel in that area. Great gambling atmosphere but it gets crowded around there because of the "Freemont St. Experience" show overhead.
My vote: Planet Hollywood|||Planet Hollywood!|||I have never really about staying at the Stratosphere, it is not close enough to the strip. Planet Hollywood I would think is great. What about the Imperial Palace? It is central strip?|||Planet Hollywood.
I love it here and live here and hate to say bad things about my town.
Golden Nugget even with the renovations is a dump.
sorry. but it is. The buffet food is awful.
PH is a four star location.|||Planet Hollywood by far!. Be careful around the Strat at night. It's not the best area on the Strip. You should absolutely check out this site before you go. I've listed it below. And prepare to spend HOURS at this site, especially the Question and Answer section... Like Vegas itself, you won't want to leave it once you start looking through it!|||Stratosphere is absolutely horrible, I sent a week there in April and I will never go back. That being said, it depends on what you want to do. If all you want to do is gamble I would go to the nugget. But if you're looking for clubs and parties I would stay at planet hollywood.|||I've stayed at the Nugget, it's a nice place plus you can see the world's largest gold nugget.
If you talking about a reservation, I would recommend you get one ahead of time. Any restaurant in Times Square is usually pretty busy.
If you're talking about just walking around, there is a gift shop located on the bottom floor of the building that you're welcome to walk around. |||You can walk on in!
And...is there any beer stores near the Planet Hollywood??|||There is a small strip mall almost next to PH. There is a McD in the end store. And it is true it is not the cleanest McD you will ever see. Up the ways is a Walgreens and CVS ... they sell beer there. |||Many McD on the strip. Many inside of casinos. Close to PH would be North on the strip in O'Shea's. I also believe that Excalibur has fast food.
The McD's by the old Stardust went up in dust. There is one south of Hawaii Village S. of PH.
Why go all of the way to LV for McD's? The prices are MUCH higher on the strip compared to where you live. If you look for coupons and ask for coupon books when signing up for player's cards you some time receive BOGO coupons.
And the next IMPORTANT question...booze. As everyone has stated, the liquor stores on the strip are expensive. If you are not renting a car from PH go north to the corner of the strip and Flamingo . Flamingo is at the corner where Bally's and Bill's are. Walk East(right) about a block to Aubrie or Audrie. Not for sure of the correct spelling/name. There is a little place the advertises as a casino but is nothing more than a convenience store with a small room with slots and vp.
If you jump on the CAT bus and go north a couple miles there is a strip mall on the left at a major intersection (I believe a place that advertises as the "WORLD'S LARGEST GIFT/SOUVENIR" store is in the strip), there is a liquor store there. Much larger.
The liquor store in the PH shopping, by the Carnival Court(Harrah's) or in IP is VERY VERY expensive. A 12 pack of MGD was $15.
If nothing else, order from Albertson's grocery store on line and set up a delivery. The delivery charge is about $10 for the complete order at the grocery store prices. Yes they have hard stuff. We order from them when we stay a week at the Polo Towers.|||Beer & Liquor are VERY expensive on the strip.
But on the bright side - it seemed like one can buy beer darn near 24/7. So take the good with the bad.
As far as fast food - some of the hotels actually have fast food joints inside of them. My hotel last week had a Pizza Hut. Perfect for those late night munchies after a day of drinking and gambling away the kids' college funds..........................
Still haven't told the wife about that last part.|||Yep there are a few and even some in the Casino's. I know there is a regular one down near Circus Circus south of Slot-a-fun. Just watch for those little golden arches on the outside of Casino's. Their was one inside Barbary coast oh yeah, I know there is also one inside Circus Circus, its up in the game area.|||There is one just up from planet hollywood going in the direction of MGM also next to it there are places that sell beer be warned tho it is the nastiest mcdonalds i have been too. There is also one in the excalibur hotel and casino. |||Actually right outside of PH is a sorta mall like place. Beer yes like right in the mall, and for McDonald's you can find in many casinos and I do think there are a few.|||You'll see bars everywhere if you want a drink, or just go to like a 7-11. There's a McDonald about a block from MGM, which is pretty close to Planet Hollywood.|||There is a McDonalds near the corner of Las Vegas Blvd and Sahara, across the street from the Sahara.|||PLanet Hollywood is a great place to stay. You can get beer on site or just up the street. Have a good time
|||yes there is a McDonalds and theres beer everywhere. :)|||Mick DDDD's still number one. Ride that roller coaster and bungie ride on that tower, and go see the unknown comic.|||2800 S. Las Vegas Blvd and 3999 south las vegas
Thinking of a Vegas vacation this summer any good hotels not to expensive...|||Mandalay Bay is the best value for your money in luxury resorts.
Rio is probably the second best value but is about a mile off the strip on Flamingo Road.
I've stayed at both properties and have no complaints.
I've stayed at Luxor three times, the pyramid rooms are fun. There's a ceiling on the 25th floor though and below the 10th floor you might get too much noise from the casino, so ask for a room between 10 and 24 if you get a Luxor pyramid room. There's nothing wrong with Luxor but Rio has much bigger rooms and Mandalay Bay is way nicer in every way.
If you want to be at the center of the strip, try Bally's or Bill's. I've stayed at both of those places too. Bill's has two slow creaky old elevators but otherwise is the best budget property on the strip. The rooms are twice as nice as other budget properties. Bally's rooms aren't as nice as Bill's but are bigger. Bally's is also a bit more upscale of a property than Bill's.|||If you want a nice hotel at a cheap rate the best choices on the Strip are Montecarlo (good location too, right in front of PH and next to citycentre), then perhaps Harrah's (but not as nice as Montecarlo) if you can get a remodelled room. Bally's ok only if you get a remodelled room; the old rooms are great in that they are HUGE, but if you want a top-quality mattress etc you won't find it in the 'old' rooms.
Slightly more expensive but still a great deal are Luxor and, these days, NYNY (but the rooms at NYNY can be very small though very nice and modern). Mandalay Bay offers fantastic deals (about 69 dollars) for the fantastic rooms they have (top quality, large, sheer luxury) - it's South Strip, though, and some people only want the central locations, which is strange because you can move South to Centre Strip really easily.
Excalibur is the cheapest and it's a great deal if you get one of the best remodelled rooms, otherwise it's not so great and of course it's chaotic rather than pleasing.
Slightly off Strip you have Rio (good value for money and definitely good rooms) and next to it it's Gold Coast, excellent value for money; they both have frequent shuttles to mid Strip so the location is fine.
Mirage is excellent in so many ways, and it's more or less in the price range of Mandalay Bay. Treasure Island also offers fantastic deals these days although its rooms are a little small I think although very nice.
Stratosphere offers good deals and it has large rooms, all nicely appointed, but it's North Strip, of course.
Downtown the best value for money and for what you actually get (a large nice room) is El Cortez. There's another hotel downtown which has really nice rooms (I am NOT talking about the overpriced Golden Nugget) and really modern now but I can't remember its name, although the rooms are a little small|||Balley's is centrally located, across the street from Caesars, good rooms, great restaurants, fair shopping. Also consider the Mandalay Bay, they have the best pool, and the Mirage, great pool, moderate prices. Off strip like the Palms, or Rio are great, but difficult to walk to from the strip. Enjoy.|||go on all these travel sites travel worm is the best one for our city im a las vegas vet and i use them all the time when im creep'n or if you got one you use ,use them = we have 4 strips the boulder strip ,the downtown strip,the las vegas strip(the big end),the rancho strip,and all these strips have casino resorts big,medium,or neighborhood casinos from the top to the end of each strip and they all network with each others they shuttle&comp anywere to keep our tourists rite===$$$$$ come and win sum of these billions here|||I'd check the rates at Flamingo - it's right across the street from Caesars (great location) and has a great pool area, but the rates are usually very good. The GO rooms have been more recently renovated and are particularly nice.|||Ballys agree with the other poster. Central location and has all the stuff.
another option is Flamingo.|||Like you just answered your own question!
Taking a solo trip to Vegas in August and planning on staying at 3 different hotels during my stay. I know sounds crazy but I love the vegas hotels and couldn't pass up some great experiences at hotels i haven't stayed at yet. My question is: is it worth paying for a taxi from the Aladdin to Cesar's Palace? This is my 4th trip to vegas but have never had to deal with a taxi. I will be switching hotels so I would have my mid sized rolling luggage bag with me. Should i walk (i know they are not too far from each other) with my luggage or take a cab. And how much would it cost. Trying to find the most cost effective way of doing the switch.|||Hello - I go to Vegas every year, so I can definitely help you out!
Walking in August would not be recommended - it'll be in the high 90's-100s, and carrying even a small piece of luggage would be difficult because you'd also have to deal with the crowds on the sidewalk that never watch where they're going!
A taxi between the two shouldn't be more then $10. If you transfer between the two hotels between 10am - 3pm, the taxi can take you via the strip and traffic shouldn't be too bad. Going this way should be fast and relatively cheap. Unfortunately, I don't know of any other affordable means of transportation, because you are not allowed to bring luggage on the monorail. Also, you'd still have quite a hike to Ceasar's from the back of Bally's if you take the monorail.
If you consider that $10 usually doesn't last more then 15 minutes or less on a slot machine (and much shorter on a table game!), a $10 cab ride is a pretty good deal! If you are really thrifty and don't want to spend that much, try and find other people waiting in the cab line who are also going to Ceasars. You can share a cab, but ONLY if you decide to ride together well before getting to the front of the line (the cab drivers get pissed if they find out you're sharing a ride to save money, as this is their livelihood).
Hope that helps! Good luck and have fun!|||I would walk or take the trolly it is way cheaper than a taxi.|||take the cab....even they may not seem to be far apart.. there is a great distance between hotels...and with luggage it makes walk harder...taxi drops you off at hotel entrance and saves you time...time is precious in vegas...never seems to be enough....good luck|||Makes no sense. It's pretty much across the street. You'd be much better off walking - using the elevated walkway.|||all casinos near your 1st stay is all walking distance.
good exercise, good scenery, good food on the way to the next casino.|||They are close enough to walk to|||it would take you about 10 minutes to cross the road and walk down the strip for 500 yards keep the taxi fare and put it in the slots
Trying to decide between the Terrace Studio at the Cosmopolitan or the One Bedroom Suite at Planet Hollywood Towers. Any suggestions?|||The Cosmo is one of the most unbelievable places I have seen in my entire life. The architecture and the atmosphere was insanely awesome. It cost $3.9 billion dollars to build. Celebrities from LA go there for there vacations to hang by the pool. So I would strongly recommend the Cosmo.|||The only thing on your list that PH doesn't really offer is a good pool. It has a pool, and the pool is okay, but it's not great. Otherwise, I think you'll be quite happy at PH. It attracts a young crowd, has some good places to party, and is in a good location on the strip. The prices are usually very good, and there is no resort fee at PH.
I also like Caesars and Venetian/Palazzo. They both have a lot going on in and around them, and the rooms are very nice (Venetian/Palazzo rooms are all suites). They have some of the best clubs on the strip as well. They are a bit more expensive than PH. The pool area at Caesars is great, and Venetian usually has a pretty good pool party going on.|||I think Planet Hollywood Towers is a really good place. I have seen it and its really nice. Now the choice is yours so best of luck.
We stayed in the MGM last year, and were very happy with the hotel. Is Planet Hollywood comparable? Which would you choose?|||I will pick MGM Grand over PH any day.|||I've seen the Planet Hollywood rooms and they are extremely nice. I would say they are nicer than the standard rooms at the MGM Grand.
-That said, MGM Grand has special rooms (in "The Loft" or the "Signature Suites") that are pretty sweet (but pricy). Also the MGM has renovated some of their towers with new beds and new TV's.
-Planet Hollywood is not discounting their rooms because of the economic crash. They are giving away more free stuff.|||I stayed at PH when it was Aladdin and have stayed many times at MGM. The bathrooms ate PH are better than MGM but to me is it, the pool is poor at PH and the rooms small and the windows even smaller. MGM for me|||I prefer MGM because of the great pool scene. When you decided where to stay check the current hotel promo codes on http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com - perhaps you can save some money with these codes.|||No choice. MGM which is huge and across the street from Tropicana on one corner, Excalibur & Luxor & Mandalay Bay on another, and NYNY & Monte Carlo on the other. PH is small and not the easy access of other casinos like MGM.
I just want to be familiar with it, as
I feel like ignorant by not knowing.|||Planet Hollywood was the brainchild of Robert Earl, former President and CEO of Hard Rock Cafe. Planet Hollywoods were modeled after the Hard Rock formula. Earl recruited many former Hard Rock veterans to open new PH stores. Movie star "owners" received stock options at rock bottom price in exchange for their endorsement, thus they could be billed as legal owners. (Planet Hollywood was founded, marketed and branded by Keith Barish, who also served as its Chairman.) He left Planet Hollywood in 1998.
In 1994, Planet Hollywood founded the Official All Star Caf茅 sports-themed restaurant chain. In April 1996, Planet Hollywood went public. The company's share price reached all time high of $32 on the first day of trading and went down to less than $1 by 1999. The company has gone bankrupt twice. Nearly 100 stores have closed worldwide, leaving fewer than 20 Planet Hollywood restaurants currently open.
In 1997, Planet Hollywood entered a joint partnership with AMC Theaters to develop Planet Movies by AMC. In 1998, Planet Hollywood entered the ice cream business when it launched Cool Planet. The business was scrapped later that year. Schwarzenegger severed his financial ties with the business in early 2000. Schwarzenegger said the company had not had the success he had hoped for, claiming he wanted to focus his attention on "new US global business ventures" and his movie career.
Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas had its grand opening the weekend of November 16, 2007, in the remodeled Aladdin Hotel & Casino.
In addition, Planet Hollywood partnered with Westgate Resorts on the new PH Towers A Westgate Resort, connected to the existing resort, which opened on January 1, 2010.. The 52-story luxury vacation ownership and condominium tower includes over 1,200 units ranging in size from one to four bedrooms. The top four stories comprise 28 luxury condominiums ranging in size from 4,000 to 10,000 square feet (370 to 930 m2).

On father's day, I'm visiting to Orlando for summer break.
We have a olive garden here and we love it but then again we kinda wanted to try something good and great quality. We don't have a planet Hollywood in Texas but I don't know which one to choose?|||Definitely Planet Hollywood!!
You can go to Olive Garden anytime back in Texas. Planet Hollywood is a fun experience. The decor is really wild and fun and the food is good too. I'd definitely go with PH!
Another option is Hard Rock Cafe (also in Orlando). It's in the Universal City Walk. It's shaped like the Colloseum. It's wicked cool and I think the food is better than Planet. Their burgers are delish! But it really depends on if you would prefer music-themed or movie-themed. PH is all about movies, where HRC is all about music. Although both are very similar.
Enjoy your trip!!|||PLANET HOLLYWOOD
1) if u don't have one in texas u should go there because you can go to olive garden any day !
2) WHY WOULD U WANT TO EAT IN A GARDEN ... FULL OF OLIVES .... IN FLORIDA ... THE CHOICE IS PRETTY CLEAR TO ME ...|||well, i have never been disappointed in olive garden the many times i have been there, but planet hollywood is also great. and if you have olive gardens where you are go to planet hollywood for a change!|||I personally do not like the atmosphere of Planet Hollywood (too loud and too small) and don't care much for the food.
Me and my girls are going to vegas in 2 wks and wondering where we can meet nice gentlemen. We are under the age of 30 and want to meet fun people who want to have a good time.|||You've got to stop in (or stay) at the Palms Hotel & Casino. From the moment you enter the casino, you'll notice right away that it's *full* of very good-looking men-- and it's like that anytime of the day or night.
No one knows why... lol... but every time I've visited it's the same.
If you do visit the Palms, they have a great ultra-lounge on the 55th floor called "ghostbar". It's considered by many to be one of the hottest clubs in Vegas and the view is to die for!
Here's a great website with more detail on "ghostbar" as well as the complete 411 on several other happening Vegas nightclubs!:

Hope you and your girls have a great time... I'm jealous ;-)|||Tao is really cool and good place to meet men.|||When will you be there exactly? A buddy of mine and I are going there in a few weeks also. We have a house there with a pool and Jacuzzi you guys are more than welcome to hang out. Let me know
I'm planning a vegas trip in June for a friend's wedding and I'm just curious if anyone has stayed at Planet Hollywood (formerly Aladdin) recently? The rooms look pretty nice and the price isn't bad. Any opinions would help!|||Yeah, I was there in April. The rooms are nice, but if you like gambling, the casino is kind of weak. The construction in front of it, is kind of annoying on weekdays, not weekends. I would probably recommend staying next door at the Paris, or Ballys. You can get good rates, and the location is a little better.|||I have never stayed there but I think they still might be remodeling- maybe it will be annoying. It has a huge mall and plenty of places to eat. Also it is in the center of the strip, so the location isn't bad.|||Stayed there at Christmas time and had a wonderful time. The rooms were nice,we had one overlooking the strip and the fountains of Bellagio. Didn't even notice any remodeling going on. The Desert Passage shops were the same as always and so was P.F. Changs which is also in that casino. So I don't think you have anything to worry about. Have a fun time when you go.
We will be there over this summer. We are a family with 16 and 19 year old sons.|||Planet Hollywood has younger adults but since the family traveling with you are under the age of 21 I would go with the Flamingo. Book a "GO" room. It has plasma TVs. The one in the sleeping area also has IPOD docking stations and a nice stereo. Ask for a strip view of the Bellagio Fountain. The floor to ceiling window is awesome to view the B. fountain. The bathroom has a small plasma built into the mirror and separate shower and soaking tub.

Well since both properties are next door to each other there is no advantage to the location which is great. This is really a wash with neither having an advantage over the other. I will tell you my impressions and you can decide for yourself.
Paris: Rather small rooms. The windows are quite large and the views are very good. The whole "French" thing gets to be a bit tedious, though. I don't especially like the mimes and the staff struggling to use as many French words as possible and all the "cutsie" French touches wear thin after a while. But that may just be my taste.
Planet Hollywood the rooms are a bit larger but the standard rooms have small windows. (the Vista rooms are much better). The lobby is too small so if you arrive during a busy time the wait to check in can be quite long.
Neither has an exceptional pool so that, too, is a wash. Paris has its pool on the roof and it is pretty lame. Just a few planters around and it gets pretty hot. Planed Hollywood has two plain pools on a deck off the first floor.
Both have good buffets. Paris has the "Eiffel Tower" but it is only about half the size of the Stratosphere at the North end of the strip, the observation deck is tiny, covered in steel mesh and more expensive than the Strat. Don't bother.
There you go. Sorry if I cannot be of more help but I call them as I see them. I do not know what rate you got but neither of these are very high up on my list.
*|||Paris, it is a beautiful hotel. Planet Hollywood is a remake of the old, small Aladdin.|||I would go with Paris. I have stayed there and the standard room was really nice. Plus at Paris you are closer to all of the other hotel/casinos and really the center of most of the action on the strip. Planet H is a makeover of the old Alladin hotel but it is not that old since the Alladin was rebuilt from the ground up just about 4 or 5 years ago. The changover was mainly in name only and maybe color schemes.
I say Paris just based on location.|||I would say Paris. I've stayed there, and the rooms are great. It has an awesome pool too! As far as location, it is next door to Planet Hollywood. If you are using any type of transportation, Paris is better to get into and out of. Planet Hollywood is a pain in the butt!
If you are planning on hitting the clubs, Planet Hollywood has Priv茅. It is fast becoming one of the hotter clubs. Staying at the hotel where you plan to club is helpful to avoid hefty kickbacks to the shredders.
I am a limo driver here in Vegas, if you need any other assistance, feel free to ask.|||Paris|||Paris "hands down"! And if you get "P" room it's fantastic. Large windows, great strip view and ours was of the Bellagio Fountain. You haven't seen the fountains until you see them from the 26th floor of Paris.
Paris has one of the best Buffets and the other restaurants are great.
Paris connects to Bally's via the shopping area so when it's 110 degrees outside you walk inside through Bally's and exit the North doors cross to Bill's and you're back in AC.|||Don't listen to any of those other people! DEFINITELY the Planet Hollywood! They just got redecorated, so the decor is nicer, and they are really eager to please, unlike some other places. (And if you don't think newer decor matters, just think about the beds and furniture in your hotel room. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas--in the upholstery!! EWWW!!)|||PLANET HOLLYWOOD!
Paris is overrated. PH has better restaurants and the hottest night club in Vegas, Prive. Enjoy!
Nope not finished and doubt it will open when they say it will. Still a lot of construction going on.|||The resort that "embraces" the Jockey club (i.e. wraps around it on three sides is called the "Grand Hyatt Las Vegas at The Cosmopolitan" and is 3000 rooms scheduled to be completed th quarter next year. The project is in and out of bankruptcy but the recent infusion of money from Hyatt means it will be completed on schedule.
============
The "City Center" mega resort next door is also scheduled to be completed at around the same time. This will consist of four hotels (condos, residences).
ARIA Resort & Casino 4,004
Mandarin Oriental 400
The Harmon Hotel, Spa & Residences 400
Vdara Condo Hotel 1,543
============
In a different location on the strip, the 4000 room, Fontainebleau Las Vegas is schedules to open also around the same time.
============
The simultaneous opening of these three resorts with 13,000 rooms coupled with the massive drop in gambling revenue has put all of the other projects on hold. The most visible projects are "The Echelon" which had already begun steel framing when it was shut down for at least a year. Another mega-project is "The Plaza Hotel" on the site of the old "New Frontier" hotel. Another mega-project would have turned the Tropicana Casino into the largest hotel in the world with 10000 rooms. Another mega project would have built an 1800 foot Crown Tower hotel , next to the Fontainbleu. Another project would have torn down the Imperial Palace and completely renovated the block. Another mega-project was to build an Elvis theme resort just south of the Planet Hollywood. Another mega-project would be to build a giant resort on the opposite side of the I-15 where the Wild Wild West truck stop and casino currently stands. Another mega-project called Vegas Pulse would be to build a $10 billion resort north of the Stratosphere. Antother mega-project is to build a 60 story casino hotel next to the outlet malls off of I-15 and Charleston, Another Another Another Another ....|||City Center, the huge project, should be done in another year. Cosmopolitcan right next to Jockey Club is bankrupt and up for sale!!!|||If you are talking about MGM's City Center the completion date for that project is November 2009.

Granted, I haven't been to either restaurant in awhile, but I remember Planet Hollywood having really mediocre food.

There food is much better and the atmosphere is great. And for an 8 year old she would enjoy Rainforest Cafe more. They dim the lights and you hear if rain and the animals make noises. Not so loud that it scares you. It really is neat. Have fun.|||Planet Hollywood rocks !|||My favorite is Rainforest. For a child this young, the atmosphere will definitely appeal more at Rainforest. Plus, while neither restaurant is exactly gourmet, Rainforest's food is consistently better than Planet Hollywood. You might like to check out the menus here:

Hi. I am visting new york in december..can anyone help me with the answers to these questions!??
1) Roughly what time does it get dark in december?
2) Can anyone give an approx length of time it will take to get round macys and the natural history musuem?
3) Do you have to queue for ages to get a table at planet hollywood at the weekend?
4) Anyone know roughly how much to get a taxi from times square the ferry port for the statue of liberty?
Thanks in advance!|||In December it will be dark by 5 or 530.
Macys is huge. I mean HUGE. You can get lost for an hour in there. The Museum of Natural History is also pretty big. Decide in advance 2 or 3 things that you want to see, and just go to those exhibits. Even that can take a couple of hours.
Planet Hollywood - most of the restaurants in Times Square are very crowded on the weekends. It's hit or miss, but you will usually wait for at least 45 minutes.
A taxi from Times Sq to the ferry can cost $15-20. Save your time and money. From Times Square you can take the 1 or 9 subway downtown to South Ferry (last stop).|||It gets dark around 4:45PM. Getting around Macy's depends on what you are looking for...I personally would skip it..it's just a department store. The museum could take all day.|||Hey there Welcome to NYC,
I hope you enjoy it. I love my city.
to answer your questions:
1. it gets dark around 7pm or so if my memory's right.
2. macy's is a huge superstore on the 33rd str. It can take you a whole day , get there by 11am and you'll enjoy the shopping.
I haven't been to Natural history museum in a long time. Last I remember it was lots of fun. Be sure to visit Empire state Building by the way it is right next to macy's.
3. planet hollywood at times square is hard to get into on weekends, true, is it the must to visit, then go to times square one, and dont forget to check out the wax museum and public library while you're on queue.
4. taxi guys they can take you for a spin, be carefull, I'd take a subway. or if you feel like throwing $20+ just to get around they will be very helpfull. NYC taxis charge by mileage.
hope this helps..

Hi!
I'll be in Vegas in Aug. I have booked two hotels for my stay (planet hollywood and bally's). Is ther any free shuttle/bus that can take me to Bally's with my luggage (small bag).
Also how much will the taxi ride cost me??
Thanks!|||Just walk. Planet Hollywood is on the other side of Paris. If you don't want to walk in the heat you can walk through Paris to get to Ballys. Indoors the whole way.|||Thanks! thats what we did. went to paris and then walked to ballys from inside. Report Abuse
|||I don't think there is a free shuttle between the two, that is usually done in hotels that are owned by the same company.
If you don't mind carrying your bag while walking, Bally's is not very far from Planet Hollywood. At 1/2 mile It would take I think around 15 minutes or less to walk to Bally's.
The Deuce- The deuce is the strip bus that has stops along the strip and at Fremont St. If there is a bus stop in front of Planet Hollywood, you could wait for it, pay $2 to ride it, and then get off at the stop nearest Bally's. By that time you probably could have walked it. The Deuce is $2 each way or $5 all day.
The monorail wouldn't really help you because there isn't a stop at Planet Hollywood.
Personally, I would just walk, but you could take a taxi for pretty cheap since they are only 1/2 mile away from each other. It looks like it would cost about $6 for the taxi based on the website below.|||Your best bet is a taxi http://vegasuncovered.wordpress.com/2008鈥?/a>|||A taxi will cost you about $7.

As for the Aqua hotels, I would recommend booking another hotel (not in the Aqua chain of hotels). My experience, despite what their website looks like, was the worst hotel I have ever seen! It was not at the Aqua Wave but another of their Aqua hotels close by. I can only assume that if they run one hotel poorly, they run them all poorly. I would have rather slept on the beach than in that hotel. FYI, I did change hotels immediately after seeing the room.|||You can go to TripAdvisor.com and find your hotels and comments from past guests.

Have a great birthday! :)|||Why not just go to Planet Hollywood or The Rain Forest Cafe? We have both.
Has anyone recently stayed in the Planet Hollywood Panorama Suite, how did you like the suite? And how much did you pay for the Suite?|||Happy to answer this question. Stayed at PH in Oct. '08. It was my 35th b-day and we shared it w/ another couple. It was about $2100 for 3 nights which was cheaper than each of us getting our own smaller suite. Sad thing is, we did not have the Bellagio view as pictured on their site. We had a view of construction in the back of the hotel.
The room was still nice for the short time we were in it. It had a "gangster movie" theme, a bar, a jacuzzi...it was really nice. It was formally the Alladin so I don't know if they finished renovating it when we were there. A door knob fell off, the iPod player did not work, wallpaper pealing off the wall, etc.
Really cool casino and lots of places to eat too. A really big mall and nice location on the strip made the hotel a great place to stay. Enjoy!|||Here's my experience...practically live in Las Vegas...have stayed at every single hotel on the strip...I love the vibe of PH...and the suite...and most of the rooms are very nice--it is defiantly a 'party' hotel, but not a super classy party. That's not to say that it's not worth it.
The staff are super friendly, everyone seems to be having a good time--but not my first choice.
My advice, is to log onto "www.visitlasvegas.com", they offer virtual 360 degree tours of most of the hotels on the strip. Click the accomodations link, and take a look at the options they offer.
Hope that helps!! Enjoy your stay!!
The pools are only like 3 feet deep. I am 5'2 and I could kneel down and keep my head out of the water. I think they are kind of small in comparison with other Vegas properties.|||Nice and big.
http://www.vegas.com/resorts/pools/plane鈥?/a>|||It hasn't changed from when it was Aladdins. Still two pools, nothing too special.
It is good. Nothing spectacular. Some rooms are better than others. They have Hollywood Hip rooms, resort, resort vista and suites. The resort Vista rooms are the nicest and largest. I have never stayed in the suites.
It has a good location, excellent buffet and an enormous shopping mall in it. The pools are so-so, the lobby is too small and if you arrive at prime time the wait to check in can be long.
*|||I "lived' at Planet Hollywood for almost 3 weeks and loved every minute of it. Great location, decent pools, good shopping, great restaurants, etc. Plus it seems like they are filming a movie there every other week.|||It's nice. It's a bit off the strip from the back but not too much. It's got a mall in the middle of it. It has a Fat Tuesdays which can be refilled in about half the properties on the strip (MGM Luxor and Stratosphere among them). It has one of the best Brazilian restaurants Pampas. All meat. Wonderful. Get your tickets at Tix 4 Tonite and you can get Pampas for about $24 a night.
I haven't stayed there yet but it is a good location as far as walking the strip goes. As to whether you like it or not, it depends on where you normally stay. You like Bellagio I'm sure PH sucks. But I normally stay at MGM, TI, Paris, and PH is definitely on pair with those.
http://las-vegas-hotels.tripadvisor.com/鈥?/a>
Read reviews on Trip Advisor but take them with a grain of salt. Like all strip properties, it's really based on what category of room you get. Any specific room in one hotel is better than any specific room in any other hotel. It just depends on which room you pick.|||its a decent property a lot of small time people stay there on free stays for looking at timeshares so its not the true Las Vegas experience...a lot of penny pinchers
PLEASE HELP. Never been to Vegas and taking my boyfriend there.|||Just wondering why these are your only choices.
First thing, skip Paris, more for the older crowd and the regular rooms are just okay at best.
Planet Hollywood is a great hotel, good party atmosphere, great location, and very good on price. If you're on a budget, then PH 100%. Another option is the PH Towers. Get the 1 bedroom suite, and you'l have a jacuzzi right in your bedroom, a wet bar, and a projector in your living room. Also no resort fees.
I'd only stay at Aria if I was there to play poker, as that's where one of the best poker rooms are. If not, then definitely either PH or PH towers.

Check out the steakhouse too. It's supposed to be really good. Enjoy.
Just a standard room.|||The Luxor is my favourite hotel in Las Vegas. But currently, the standard rooms at Planet Hollywood are the nicer pick. The reason is the rooms at Planet Hollywood have all been recently renovated during the change over from it being The Aladdin.
The Luxor is currently undergoing a major renovation, the Pyramid rooms are last on the list. The Pyramid houses all the standard rooms and spa suites. The Tower rooms are the newer, bigger, better rooms. I actually prefer to stay in the Pyramid even though the rooms are "standard" the reason being the unique shape, it's proximity to the attractions level and casino. also the view down into the Pyramid is a novelty that never fails to leave me awestruck. Also riding the inclinators up/down is a strange feeling that's also a novelty on it's own.
While I usually recommend The Luxor as the best hotel for "Newbies" to Vegas. If you intend to spend a lot of time in your room, Planet Hollywood is currently the better option from your choices if you would like a standard room.|||Luxor has recently upgraded the look of their hotel. I personally try and stay at the Luxor every time I go to the Strip because I like it so much. The hotel is usually quieter than most of the casinos, which is a plus. It's really easy to fall asleep in the pyramid, as there is almost no noise, and the showers are nice.
While Luxor is on the south side (and PH is closer to the center) keep in mind that it is WAY easier to park at the Luxor, esp if you arrive in the evening hours. If you go to the center of the strip, you can expect to wait almost an hour to get to the parking lot of any casino (during the rush hours).
That's my two cents.|||Planet Hollywood is a better standard of hotel but I prefer the Luxor as other peopel have said its noisy and confusing and I just dont like the feel if you know whatI mean. It is also far more expensive than the luxor.|||I don't like Planet hollywood it's just like New York New York, the second you step out of the elevator, you are greeted with noise, traffic, and allot of drunk people playing in the casino. Luxor however is much nicer.|||Planet Hollywood is a much better hotel. The location is great! The Luxor is not a bad choice its just harder to get to and more run down.

The standard rooms are also nicer.|||I loved the Luxor. I find PH a small noisey casino. Go for the best price|||Yes, but the location of PH is much better.
Does anyone know if any celebrities are visiting Planet Hollywood anytime soon?|||Believe me, celebrities never announce when they're coming, unless they're being paid to appear at a club. When that happens, the club advertises like crazy!|||Pamela Anderson has her own suite their and celebs usually eat at Koi if they go to PH.
There is a free shuttle to Rio from Caesar's, Paris, and Harrahs. Lucky for you, the shuttle at the Paris pulls up right between Paris and Planet Hollywood, so you won't have to do much walking at all. Sometimes you have to wait up to 30 minutes, but they are usually pretty good about getting a shuttle there every 15 minutes. When you are done at the Rio, you just go back out the same door you came in, by the Carnival World Buffet, and ride the shuttle back to Paris. It is recommended that you tip the driver since it is a free trip.|||Visit other Harrah's properties, Caesars Palace, Bally's, Paris and Harrah's Las Vegas on the Strip by using their free shuttle service.

Seen them at dinner, just wondering if they're available at lunch too or not. What else is there at lunch??|||If you are going to be at the Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino you need to go to the "Todai" Sushi Buffet in the Desert Passages Shops.

What you are charged for an order of toast you can get a full breakfast at a restaurant. Not sure why the hotel is asking you about breakfast. |||The hotel will add breakfast to your bill if you order room service, however I will not recommend adding breakfast to your bill because it can get really expensive after they add all the additional fees. There lots of places to have breakfast at Planet Hollywood. My recommendation is to eat at the Spice Market buffet. They serve breakfast from 7:30am - 10:30am, price $13.99

Just wondering what/where accepts travellers cheques as I am not sure weather to purchase 100% travellers cheques or part cash.. Thanks!|||Most large companies in the States accept Travellers Checks in place of cash. But personally I would do part cash part travellers check.
Some places do not accept them.
At least with the Travellers Checks you can have them travel insured and if stolen can have them replaced.
Because of the large amounts of fraud that have happened, they are harder to cash now. So bring some cash as well. And never pack cash in a obvious place or in luggage. If the hotel you are staying at offers a safe in the lobby, I highly suggest using it.
Room safes are not always secure.
I am going to Las Vegas with my friend in December. We want a hotel in the centre of the strip.
We have found that Bally's and Planet Hollywood are in our price range- has anyone been to either of them.
Thanks|||Ballys is good.
I would recommend the Flamingo. It is in the middle of the strip.
We stayed at the Flamingo from 8/29/10 - 9/1/10. The room was $50.00 a night. The breakfast buffet in the morning and the dinner buffet in the evening at the Paradise Garden Buffet was excellent.
Every one who works at the Flamingo was very nice, friendly and helpful.|||Planet Hollywood is a nicer place, and is very fun. It's a great place to party. It isn't in the best location on the strip, but it's not in a bad location by any means. I think that's the only advantage Bally's would have over PH - it's in a better area, with more to do within easy walking distance. But PH is in the middle of a pretty active area, and it's not a long walk from there to the Bally's area. I would definitely choose PH.|||Bally's sits on, IMHO, the best corner in Vegas. The rooms are larger than average and while the dining choices aren't the greatest, it is connected to the Paris were they have some of the best on the Strip.
However, if you are interested in a younger crowd, PH is not a bad choice either. The rooms are about average in size but thin walls. Good restaurants and a decent mall.|||Depends on your age range. PH is more for a young, hip crowd and celebrities. It's a great location next to Paris and across from the new Cosmopolitan. It has shopping (Miracle Mile Shops), a spa, cool clubs, and great places to eat & drink. It was formerly the Aladdin but now has many nice updates.
Bally's, in my opinion, might be a bit outdated if I had to choose between the 2. Good luck!
Bally's - 3.5 stars; PH - 4.5 stars, per www.Vegas.com|||I have been to both; and if you are looking just for a room you will not be in much, use Ballys (we just paid $16 a night there). PH is newer as it is the remodeled Aladdin, and it is quite a bit larger. Both are in fine locations. You might want to go to their sites & see if pictures of the pool & room areas appeal to you.|||Planet Hollywood 100000% because its newer, more hip crowd from 21- 35 years old! Has better rooms, better restaurants, better looking people, not smoky like Bally's, the casino is more exciting, pool is better, oh i can go on and on! Go with PH!|||I would select Ballys connected to Paris, right across the street to Bellagio, Caeasars, Bills and Flamingo. PH you have a longer walk. Both are great.|||Depends on your age. PH is really a younger person's hotel. If you are in that category or want a hotel that has more action, I would do PH over Bally's.|||I'd go with Planet Hollywood.

Goin disney world and im wondering is planet hollywood a fun restuarnt to go too in downtown disney were all in are late teens early 20s think that be a cool place to go to have fun? Is the food good? What other restuarants or places would be fun for us to go down there including city walk cause were goin to universal also?
Thankeeeeeee!!|||I had a blast at Planet Hollywood in Orlando, I've been to several and it's my favorite out of the ones I've been too. I've always had their burger and fries, it's not the best food I've eaten, but it's still good, and besides that people go for the atmosphere, not the food.
There is a Hard Rock Cafe at Universal Studios CityWalk. I have not eaten at that one, but it looks awesome from the outside, and I have been to one in another city that I had fun at. Again, it's all about atmosphere.
Rainforest Cafe is another one of those atmosphere places. It's really cool inside. The food is not tops, but my only other complaint was that the lighting where we sat was a little too dim, making it hard to even read the menu.
There are several dinner shows in Orlando such as Medieval Times, Dixie Stampede and Sleuthes, Capone's, and I think there is a pirate one and an arabian one. Also I saw an ad in my hotel about a mystery dinner theather that was interactive and seemed interesting. Out of all of these the only one I've been to is Medieval Times and it was very fun, the food was great. It was an interesting experience.
Aside from Downtown Disney, many of the Disney parks and hotels have interesting dining experiences, shows and cool-themed restaurants. There are way too many to list here, but if you check out the Disney World website you can see them all there.
Sea World also has many fun dining experiences, like the Makahiki Luau, Sharks Underwater Grill (you can only get reservations for here at the restaurant when the park opens--I would recommend going straight there as soon as you get in because they fill up their day quick), and the buffet-style Dine With Shamu, where you get to sit right next to the killer whale pool and watch the trainers interact with Shamu. You also get to talk to the trainers about their jobs and about the whales, a very unique and unforgettable experience.
There is really an endless array of awesome restaurants in Orlando, but that gives you a pretty good idea of the major touristy ones. Have fun planning your trip!! :)|||-Planet Hollywood is the bomb!!

Just wanted some info or feedback from people who have stayed at this hotel since I will probably book a hotel room at PH
Thanks|||Stayed 2 nights last year.
Room was fine but the trek to get there was horrifying.
It was still called the Aladdin at the time but pretty much the same.
I really do not like to cart all my stuff thru a busy casino to get to my room.
Again.......... the room and the view were enjoyable but I personally would not stay there again.|||I LOVED the Aladdin! I was there when it was the Aladdin and also again during the switch to Planet Hollywood; most of what they were changing had to do with appearance so the rooms pretty much stayed the same. The rooms are spacious, large bathroom with deep soaking tub (my favorite!), and overall very friendly hotel staff. It is close to many other attractions and is across the street from the Bellagio fountains so if you are lucky you can get a room with that view! There is a mall right downstairs adjacent to the casino which I found fun and catered to my shopping needs (there is an ABC store that stays open till 2am so if you need your last snack, souvenir, or alcohol run, they are right downstairs!) and also had a few restaurants. I hear they have expanded the mall for PH hotel but haven't been there yet. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone!

Can you see the ball drop live (not on TV) from there?
Is it worth paying the extra for VIP tickets to the 4th floor?
Is the Hard Rock better?|||I've never been inside of Planet Hollywood, but I've walked by it countless times and I was in Times Square to see the ball drop last year. I'm not familiar with their VIP section or anything, but you'd probably have a somewhat decent view of the ball. You'd probably have to be pressed up against the window and look down the street to see it from there--as that restaurant doesn't have a direct view of the ball.
I'm not sure if you'd be able to see it any better than Hard Rock. They both have similar viewpoints.|||As a New Yorker I want to stay as far away from that tourist trap as possible. Save yourself time,$ and a headache. Invite friends to your place and watch it on tv.|||a few years ago i was able to see the ball drop from the roof of one of the buildings in times square because my friends husband works there as a security guard and they had a big party i gotta tell you i liked it but it was intimate there was around 50 to 100 people and it was great but i definetely would not go down to the street and be there for hours in the cold waiting for a ball to fall i would rather stay in a house with friends and see it on tv.|||it is worth going to NYC on NYE solely for the experience. don't expect at ALL to get a really nice, comfy, warm view of the ball dropping and Ryan Seacrest doing the countdown as if you were in your bed watching the event. there is alot of random drunks, rowdy as* people who don't care about your safety or the ball dropping. a friend of mine was standing outside on the street where MTV does their special from and some nasty guy grabbed one of her tit*ties really hard and twisted it. planet Hollywood has good burgers NYE might be safer inside there. have fun.

The best way to get up and down the strip is to get a 24hr pass on the Deuce, that way you can hop on and off the bus all day long. Here is a map of the Vegas strip to give you an idea of the hotel locations.
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/get-aroun鈥?/a>|||Close is a relative term especially here in Vegas. Everything looks so close like it is right next to you, yet it seems to take forever to walk there. Caesars is dead center on the strip where PH is somewhat south. Remember that the Flamingo was the first resort on the strip and everything is built up from that center point. Caesars is directly across from the Flamingo. Take the fact that the Forum shops are even further north of Caesars. I would recommend Caesars rather than PH in your case.|||How did you choose wither Caesars or Planet Hollywood? The palace is way more expensive, the Mirage is right there and next door to Caesars, it's running 55 a night mid week. Imperial Palace is in the middle of everything also. Shopping at Caesars and Bellagio are an amazing thing.|||They are a few hotels apart. PH is next to the new City Center, Paris, Bellagio, NY, NY, MGM, etc. Caesar's is closer to Mirage, TI, Venetian, Wynn.
So they both have shopping, PH calls it Miracle Mile. PH is also more recently updated (I believe Nov. 2008) and has a younger crowd. Hope that helps. Enjoy!|||Caesars is in the middle, PH is not but you can walk to any casino from PH. From Sahara Hotel to Mandalay Bay is 3.8 miles

Which one has the best selection and freshest foods. Also what about the restaurant itself, which one is nicer inside? I do not want suggestions for other buffets besides these two.|||I love all things Caesars, but the one thing there that I don't love is the buffet. It's okay, but the selection just isn't that great. The restaurant itself is beautiful though, and is nicer than the PH buffet restaurant.
But the PH buffet is great - all sorts of selections from different types of cuisine. Definitely the better buffet of the two, and the restaurant is fine. It's not particularly pretty, but there's nothing at all wrong with it.|||Spice Market Buffet at PH is by far the better of the two - the one good holdover from the old Aladdin Hotel.
The Lago Buffet at Caesar's is a much nicer place - doesn't make up for the lousy and limited buffet, though.....|||I dont think you will find much difference. Both are similar, with lots of options.

For my 1st trip to Vegas? There's not a whole lot of reviews out there, and what is is mixed. I'm a little confused on the whole timeshare/hotel thing...should I skip it and stay somewhere else?|||Most visitors to Vegas spend very little time in their hotel room because there is so much to do and see. PH Towers are nice but for a first time visitor, I will not recommend staying there. You will have more fun at hotels like the Mirage, MGM Grand or NYNY. Here are some deals
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/las-vegas鈥?/a>|||The only real disadvantage to staying at a timeshare is that they will likely try to sell you a share. It may be subtle like flyers in your room or ads on the TV, or it might be aggressive like blocking your way to the elevators until you agree to take a "tour" that ends with them handing you a contract. If you are confident that you can say "no" to anyone, then you will be fine. But they can get very persuasive.
The rooms look nice but for a first trip to Vegas there is nothing special about it that you can't get someplace else.|||In my opinion it is a good place to stay but I would also consider to stay at MGM Grand or Mirage - I would make my decision regarding the best price.

I am taking my fiance to Las Vegas for a week in August. She will have her golden birthday while we are there (25). Just wanting to get some opinions on which of these 2 hotels to stay at. Please give me pros and cons. Thanks so much in advance.|||Well...pros and cons for both.
Planet Hollywood's greatest feature is that it is on "The Strip" and fairly central to walk all over the "Mega-resort corridor" with Caesar's Palace, Bellagio, MGM, NYNY, etc etc etc. Beyond that...I don't care for the property very much. Too many "timeshare sales" people bugging you as you walk into/out of the shops...their nightclub was shut down before for allowing "illegal acts" to take place, regularly, to the point that VEGAS thought it was too bad to stay in business! That takes a lot of BAD and ILLEGAL stuff. I don't care for 'most' of the restaurants there...poor service, poor food (taste/quality), and/or overpriced....except for 'maybe two' spots...and not impressed/don't care for...their pool area either. (FYI I helped prepare this property 'pre-opening' before it became the PH property...and I still dont' care for it...just being honest...sorry.)
Golden Nugget...is a legendary property...has been around since 'early Vegas days' and people who have not stayed there...don't understand how NICE it is! The property was remodeled and redesigned 'several times' in the last 10-12 years as it changed hangs from a few different owners. Their pool area is small...but VERY cool, classy, stylish...as hip as the mega-pool party venues on "the strip" are. With that said...it IS NOT on the Strip. It is on Freemont Street...the "downtown" or 'original' Vegas area. That does mean you will 'normally' have an older crowd than say "The Palms" and "Hard Rock Hotel" party spots....but the rooms are impressively nice for being downtown. Their suites can be HUGE and I've even stayed in a two-story mega suite (1500-2,000 sq ft?) that is impressive to anyone!
It comes down to what you are looking for from you experience. Freemont street is cool with it's overhead light display, free entertainment on the stages up and down the street, street performers all along the length of the street, etc...but most of the other properties are older and tackier than the Golden Nugget is. There are some VERY NICE restaurants and cool night spots (beauty bar, etc) down there...but is does not have the "glitz and glamour" that the Mega-resorts along "the strip" have.
PH does NOT have any Glitz or Glamour...it is a 'decent' property...but in August...if you are just looking for a 'bargain' spot to stay at...consider other properties! (Tropicana is NEWLY REMODELED and just partnered with NIKI BEACH from South Beach Miami (Famous for P-Diddy parties, etc and will be a "major pool party scene" etc after its opening in May (thought insiders say it might not 'really' open the 'party venue side' until June...still before you get here! (I spend last night hanging with the management of Niki Beach and the owner of ALL their clubs! Good people.)
Keep me updated on your event plans...if you wish...I'll at least get you "some perk" for a "something cool" in Vegas for your ladies bday.|||Both hotels are nice. As everyone says Planet Hollywood is mid strip, and the Golden Nugget is downtown. If I were going for a whole week then I would definetly stay at Planet Hollywood because it is nice to be able to walk around to all the mega resorts. Downtown Fremont street is fun for one or two days but would be boring past that. I think that the rooms and hotel amenities are about equal as well.
I do have one recomendation to you though, since I travel to vegas at this time of year frequently ,would to be to get a rental car. It is very hot and the heat will exhaust you quicker than normal. Parking is free and very easy everywhere so you go and this way you can drive to the different areas in Vegas and park. Also bottled water and soda on the strip are at least $5-6 a piece. If you have a car then you can stop in the convinience store and get them for normal prices.|||Golden Nugget is a more upscale (luxurious) property than Planet Hollywood, but it's in a less glamorous location (downtown, FREMONT Street, not Freemont) than Planet Hollywood.
I strongly suggest you book a nice room (3 or 4 levels up from the lowest price level) at Planet Hollywood. If you stay at GN, you'll feel like you're having an upscale vacation until you step outside the hotel. If you stay at a cheap room in PH, you'll feel like you're having an upscale vacation until you step inside your room.|||Hi
I have stayed at both, the problem you have with the Golden Nugget is that it is downtown and not on the Strip, unlike the rest of downtown it feels like a strip hotel, lovely rooms and fanastic pool it is certainly worthy of a couple of nights but if you have not been to Vegas before you want to be on the Strip so I would have to say the Planet Hollywood is a better bet for you.
How about this, though ? Room rates in Las Vegas go up at weekends and down in the week why dont you book the weekend at Golden Nugget as the reates are lower than Planet Hollywood and then the week nights at Planet Hollywood this will save you money and will also mean that you get the best of both Worlds.
Follow the instructions here to get the best room rate at both resorts.
http://vegasuncovered.wordpress.com/2009鈥?/a>|||Planet Hollywood, for sure. It's a great hotel for a young crowd, and a good party location. It's right on the strip, where all the action and nightlife is located. Golden Nugget is in "old" Vegas - downtown - and there isn't much in the way of clubbing and nightlife there. If you want to be in the middle of everything, then you want to be on the strip, and PH is a great choice.|||I think a week in Vegas is overkill in August. It will be over 110F outside, so even the pools aren't something that you can enjoy for more than a few minutes.
When you are downtown, there isn't really much to see and do. On the strip you can get around easier, so I'd suggest that side of town. Planet Hollywood is ok. There are a lot of better selections at the same price point.|||Planet hollywood for sure! Golden nugget is older and kinda trashy. Planet hollywood is off the strip but definitely worth it. Have fun relax during the day and go all out at night, everything is so much better at night!|||not the golden nugget there are so many nicer ones then that REALLY! Plant Hollywood would be my choice. I went to Vegas 8 times never would i stat at the nugget. Buy here something with gold. Have a great time and it will be HOT HOT HOT!

I have never asked for a room upgrade in Vegas b/f, but I see tons of individuals in hotel reviews talk about how their rooms were upgraded during their stay, just wondering if they do that for free, when the hotel is not full, or do they charge you for it if you ask. My trip is from Memorial Day May 28-31 don't know if Vegas is busy during that week or not!!! Any other Vegas tips will help as well!!! Thanks to everyone that replies|||The $20 trick worked very well at the Aladdin. I can only assume that it would at Planet Hollywood.
From May 28th until June 1st is an extremely slow period for Las Vegas. Which is to your advantage, they can't upgrade you to something they don't have.
How to go about asking.
Have the $20 visible in your left hand as you hand the clerk your CC & ID with your right. Ask if there are any "complimentary" upgrades available. He/she will tell you "I can't do that or It will cost you $$" in which case you can either forget it or pony up the difference. Or he/she will say "let me take a look" in which case you're probably in luck. It's a very good idea to know a little about the hotel & what upgrades they have and what upgrade you're most interested in.
A room with a view of the Bellagio Fountains is a very nice upgrade, at Planet Hollywood.
When he/she hands you the room key to your upgrade, then you tell him/her "thank you very much" and give them the $20 handshake.
The main thing is, just be nice and let them do you a favor.

.|||its not free, but cheaper if you ask when you check in
i hear you can slip the guy at the front desk a 20, and they'll upgrade you most the time.. how do i go about doing it exactly? i go in 2 and a half weeks..|||You ask for an upgrade and pay the extra fees.|||The days of the 20 buck trick are over. The hotels are squeezing every dollar they can out of the tourists. If you want an upgrade this day and age, you will pay up front or if you lose enough.
I was just there a few weeks ago and wanted an upgrade, the clerk looked at me and said it will be an extra 30 dollars a night. (wasn't at Planet Hollywood)
Hotel/casinos are losing money and some are on the verge of bankruptcy...if you want a nicer room, you'll have to pay for it.|||You could always try complaining about your current room - sometimes if the guest is unsatisified, the hotel will bump up accommodations. Also let them know that you're only gambling in their hotel - if they know you are spending money, they might be more willing to do that upgrade.|||uhm brian, i didn't know how to contact you any other way than by your question, but i think your an idiot for saying that i'm asking what I can do for depression, and therefore im wanting attension. For your information, you don't know me and how crap I feel and on yahoo answers I'm entitled to ask a reasonable question without someone saying I want attension. Also, people with eating discorders dont just 'want attension'. To be honest, when you say ' I know when I'm depressed ' I don't think you do. Because you obviously don't know what it's like to be depressed or have an eating discorder.

My Brother and I are visiting Vegas next week, Im 25 He's 21, We're planning to have as much fun as possible. Party, Pool and really enjoy Vegas.
We are currently looking at two hotels.... Should we do Circus Circus for $150 or Planet Hollywood for $400.
We are trying to save money but the same time have fun. Do you think its worth the $300 difference to stay at PH instead of Circus Circus?
Thanks|||There is no comparison, PH is much better than Circus Circus. Avoid Circus Circus if you can, If you are on a budget, check rates at the Flamingo, Monte Carlo, Imperial Palace or the Excalibur.
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/special.p鈥?/a>|||If you really have to pick between ONLY those 2, then go Planet Hollywood because it's right in the heart of the Strip (Circus Circus is a looong walk to just get to the edge of the main part of the Strip).
And again, I do think it's worth it because if you stay at CC then you'll be taking the bus ($7 per person per 24 hrs) and cabs just to get to the Strip, whereas PH you can just walk out your lobby doors.|||Planet Hollywood is much nice than Circus Circus. Only you can decide whether it's $300 nicer. Be sure to check for promo codes when booking your reservation. Depending on the length of your stay, you can save as much as 25% off room rates at Planet Hollywood. Check out Planet Hollywood promo codes as well as other information on PH like pictures of rooms, etc at the following site:
http://www.vegascodes.com/planet-hollywo鈥?/a>
The site is easy to navigate and totally free! Have fun!|||Ok listen to me! I stayed at both locations, here is the difference. If you want to see SMOKIN HOT GIRLS AT THE POOLSIDE AND IN THE HOTEL. It is a must you pick PH, the girls there will have your neck spinning on a friday, saturday night there as i did! LMAO!! Its more of a 21-35 year old crowd also at PH hotel. Circus circus is not good for the party and pool, its more family with kids everywhere and old folks.. PH is one of the coolest hotels on the strip and has a mall also inside, nice strip location, good food at strip steakhouse. Here is the thing, if you meet some girls, you dont want to take them to circus circus right? They will be probably not willing to go but if you had a room at PH, thats more hip, you will have a better time, good luck.|||Circus Circus ia a real discount hotel and nothing like PH. CC is for the real bargain hunter or people with kids. The location is not very good for visiting the rest of the strip. If you want a better location and better rooms and pool at the same cost or lower look into Hooters. Because it is a short walk from the strip right behind the Tropicana it is considered near strip but well worth the short walk. That way you could save the money to use for other things yet able to get around easier and have a much nicer property to stay. PH would be better for all the other reasons but $300 is $300.|||Circus Circus has a mandatory resort fee of $6 per day, which you have to pay regardless whether you use the services or not. Planet Hollywood does not.
Circus Circus attracts tons of families with kids. So everything will be swarming with little children, even on the casino floor. It's also at the north end of the strip, not really surrounded by anything.|||It really depends on you. How much time are you going to actually spend in your hotel room?
If it's just a place to sleep and shower, then go for the less expensive ones, but as others have said, avoid Circus Circus. It's old and hasn't kept up well.
There are even some hotels right off the Strip, such as Gold Coast, that can give you basic rooms at low prices. Although, because of the recession, you can find good hotels on the Strip at low rates, such as the Luxor.
There are a number of sites you can look at, such as hotels.com, to find a place that suits you, the quality you're seeking in a hotel, and how much you want to spend.|||Dont Stay at Circus Circus. It is really low in quality and something about its pool makes it seem dirty.
I really don't know about Planet Hollywood.
If you want try These:
Excalibur (Nice Rooms, Very Clean)
MGM Grand (Great Rooms)
Luxor (Good, but its better to get a room at the Pyramid, very nice and quite and relaxing pool)
There are many others you should look at. Visit Vegas.com and check the rates, though i dont recommend you stay at New York New York or Circus Circus as I earlier mentioned.|||for what you want to do circus circus is not for you im older i stay there all the time but i get my rooms free just left for labor day i slept free ate free and was give 95 dollars on my players card anyway for your age range i would go some where oh one more thing some one said you have to pay a fee at circus circus thats not true before i became a vip i never paid any kind of fee hope this helps you|||Big dif between Circus and PH. But 400 is high. Try Luxor for fun. For 400 you can get Venetian or Mirage or Caesars
I am in the process of make New Years accomodations for three couples including myself. Four of the six people have been and we stayed at Planet Hollywood, in which we all like it. But I am wondering with the going rate at Mirage will it give us a better stay? The rooms selections will be a Resort Vista room at Planet Hollywood or the Tower Deluxe room at The Mirage. Please Help!|||The Mirage|||Well if you are a young professional it is all about Planet Hollywood! The casino is hot! The rooms are all really awesome, and stylish, the Miracle Mile shops are great, the shows there are worldclass! Overall the hotel really rocks! You can get a cheap room at the Planet Hollywood in Vegas at http://www.bestofvegas.com/hotels/Planet鈥?/a>
Have fun!|||I have stayed at both (though PH was Aladdin when i was last there) and MIrage wins hands down, nicer hotel, better service great pool (not that you will use that) better rooms, nicer food (though the buffets are on a par). I will be in Mirage until 12/24 its my fave strip hotel|||All the room at the Mirage were recently renovated. The hotel is beautiful and I will personally pick the Mirage.

Here are a few. http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/special.h鈥?/a>|||The Bellagio Checkout this website http://www.las-vegas.cc/ to compare hotels.|||No doubt, the Mirage is much nicer...it is more upscale and modern than Planet Hollywood.|||Mirage|||I have been to PH only once and loved it...Mirage might be more expensive
Yes it is. Be warned though that it is filled with tourists and sometimes the wait can be longer than you want. For other family friendly restaurants in that area, try Carmine's or Tony DiNapoli's (both family style Italian).|||i have not been to the one in new york but my best Friend used to always go to the one i myrtle beach and he loved it so they can not be that much different.|||Never been there either, but in general, they are family friendly, but kind of pricey.|||yea but it depends on ur kids age if they are 3 to 5 i would maybe bring them bc it is a movie themed resturant and some things in there could be scary for kids at a young age.|||Yes - and its filled with tourists.
I had stuffed sole with a cream sauce and it was wonderful. Has anyone else had this dish there and/or know how to duplicate it?|||no.. but might give it a try when i visit next year.|||Oh, I know what you mean - I've eaten it at Romano's Macaroni Grill and it's insanely good!!!! I looked and found this recipe:
Fillet of sole is poached then added to a creamy sauce and broiled to brown.
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
3 green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup water
2 1/2 pounds sole fillets
3 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy cream
Preparation:
In a large skillet over medium heat, put parsley, green onions, salt, pepper, white wine and water; bring to a boil. Add fish and poach for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove fish to a lightly buttered shallow baking dish. Continue cooking water and wine mixture until liquid has reduced to about 1 cup.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan melt 2 tablespoons of butter; stir in the flour, stirring until a smooth paste is formed. Gradually add the reduced liquid and heavy cream, stirring over low heat. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until thickened. Add remaining butter; pour over fish. Place fish under broiler until nicely browned.
Serves 6.
I'm going to try it myself!

I haven't stayed in that suite but I have stayed at the hotel. It was just remodeled and it is very modern and up to date. But the construction across the street is your view so I'm not sure if you want to pay big bucks for that. I paid $95 a night for a regular room in April 2009.
The Rio and Venetian are "all suite" hotels that would be in that price range. Rio has floor to ceiling windows that are huge and you can see the whole strip because you are set back a little from it. It offers a party type atmosphere like Planet Hollywood. But I wouldn't recommend it without a car.
If you go to tripadvisor.com you can look up hotel reviews and travelers post their personal photos of hotel rooms so you can really see what you are getting!
If you like a hotel then stay across the street from it so when you look out at your view you can "see the on you love". I learned this when I stayed at MGM Grans last year!
Have fun!!!!
we just booked a regular room at PH and are wondering if it's possible to get a free room upgrade especially since it's our honeymoon. if so, how!?|||Your honeymoon is not a good enough excuse b/c thousands of people are celebrating something everyday in vegas. Your only real shot at a free upgrade is to try the sandwich trick. upon checkin slip a $20 or $50 between your license and credit card and ask if they have any complimentary upgrades. If so then you get a room upgrade for $20 for your stay, if not they will usually just say sorry, but not at the moment and give you your money back.|||Step 1: go buy a mouse at a pet store for like $2
Step 2: throw it in the room when you arrive
Step 3: go complain
Step 4: free room upgrade|||I'd try giving them your story first. Try to get a friendly front desk person, tell them it's your honeymoon, that you love Planet Hollywood and you stay there all the time, join the player's club before you check in.
I've done this at many many hotels, and I will tell you that the main trick to getting a free upgrade is what day you check in. If you're checking in on a Friday or Saturday, forget it. If at all possible, check in a slow weekday, where they have plenty of nicer rooms available.|||slip the reservation desk person a tip...or complain to management about your room|||Call them and upgrade your reservation. Considering how much you're already spending on the vacation, AND that it's your honeymoon; why not spend another $100 or $200? Your honeymoon vacation memories are going to last the rest of your life. Don't let it be a low budget memory.|||Ask them. Vegas hotels are having problems filling rooms right now, and odds are, you'll get the upgrade. Also, you should look at buying a room package (you might be able to change your reservation) so you'll get a cut-rate, along with tickets to various shows, discounts on meals and gaming credits.|||We paid for a suite in Oct. '08 (5 of us). They like high rollers. Marriage, b-days...sadly, these mean nothing to them; we got a view of construction, not Paris & Bellagio as advertised.
Nice hotel though. Good location, fun casino, nice mall & places to eat, crappy pool though. Enjoy!

im going for mybirthday on september 20th and i want to know if any celbrities are going to be there when i am. thanks!|||Planet Hollywood is just a chain restaurant and more or likely the closest you'll come to seeing a celebrity would be in the form of a picture. |||Uhmmm....Which PH are you going to?

I'd recommend drinking at Halo bar their 2 4 1s are great will save you a fortune.

Yes and everywhere else you can imagine.|||I don't know when Bull was there, but there sure wasn't ANY security at the elevators the week of 11/1/008. Security is VERY MUCH lacking which is why they have so much ladies of the night, panhandlers, and thieves lurking there. My room was entered and my wallet stolen while I slept!! BEWARE!!!!! Report Abuse
|||It's true for ALL the hotels - they post security at the elevators, especially in the evenings and on weekends - to check for room keys. Most of the time, everyone needs their key in hand to gain access to the elevator. This is done to protect their guests and to keep unauthorized people from getting access to the rooms. |||Each casino is different. Whether there is a security guard near the elevator most require the use of a room key to make the elevator move. And the security also is the constant surveillance of the cameras.|||All of the decent hotels have security in the elevaters this is to ensure the saftey of guests and that no one who is not staying in the hotel can get up to the rooms|||yes there is security at the elevators. You will find armed security at more or less all cassinos, hotels and large resteraunts such as Planet Hollywood all over Vegas.
My girlfriend and I are staying at Planet Hollywood next week. Anybody have an opinion on the place? I've read mixed reviews. Also does anybody recommend any casinos with a good omaha game?|||IT SUCKED *** HORIBLE SERVICE|||I stayed at PH and the remodel completely surprised me. The hotel was great and the rooms were nice with a HUGE bathroom. And trust me, anything on the strip will be worth whatever they ae charging you, the companies work to make sure it is. And if it isn't complain and demand an upgrade or something free!|||Here's the truth. The casino and the front entrance are being remodeled. The rooms haven't been touched since it was the Aladdin.
If you got a good deal it's worth it because of it's great location, but it's Vegas how much time are you spending in a room.
As far as the rooms go, they're ok, but crappy for Vegas standards. So if you're just looking for a good place to sleep you'll be ok. Don't expect great amenities, their pool is pretty crappy, but they're in the middle of a transition from Aladdin to Planet Hollywood so it's going to take some time to get all the problems fixed.
Don't forget you can always cross the street and go to Bellagio!
Oh and miss hotel critic do you write all you r reviews in CAPS?|||Actually the casino remodel is DONE. and they are STARTING on the room renovations, as well as the mall. The new casino is beautiful, no question, and rooms are pretty good for the price- be sure to POLITELY ask if there are any upgrades available when you check in (don't throw a fit if they say no- they will hook you up if they can). yes the exterior remodel is still going on, and the condo towers are going up on the property, I hear there have been complaints about noise. Overall, a very nice hotel, but not top-of-the-line.
I went to the dinner buffet at Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas twice in the same week. Both times when I came back after getting some additional food, the table was toally cleared (removed not just the used plates but also fork and knife and napkin). Is there a way to indicate that I am coming back?|||I've been to countless Las Vegas buffes and I've never had that happen before. Maybe leave a jacket on your chair? Or even easier, just tell someone. Anyways, I'm sure it's pure coincidence that this has happened to you twice.|||If you want to indicate you are still sitting there, just tip the chair at an angle so the back touches the table.If you are sitting in a booth, I would move my dirty plates towards the center of the table and put my fork &knife on my napkin so the wait staff can tell you are not finished using them.If they do remove all just ask for another set of utensels.|||I'm a bit surprised to hear of your situation. Usually, you're assigned a waiter/waitress, solely responsible for your table. That person should know when you actually leave, or in your case go back for more. I suppose one way of making sure they don't clean the table is to put a personal belonging on it, a piece of clothing, your phone, etc.|||napkin arrangement. Leave your napkin on the chair and the chair slightly out, shows you are coming back AND putting the napkin back on your lap. Also, try not to drink all your beverage.|||just tell the waitress that your not done! lol
I heard from my mom that if you watch a movie inside the planet hollywood, they give everyone 10 dollars, is this fishy rumor true or false?|||false|||It is in the MGM Grand. There is the CBS Research Studios where they want people to watch tv shows and give their opinions. For your time and trouble they give you $10 cash. They only do so many people a day so it isn't all the time. We did it and then we were invited back later that day to have a group conference with the producers and televisions executives about the show we watched. It was an hour long and they gave us $50 cash each.
They are specific group studies so they may only be looking for young girls under 25 that day or men over 50. It all depends on what they need the opinion. Also each has different values so some you might just be offered coupons worth several dollars good at their gift shop. Also you will have to give up an hour of your time.|||All I did was walk into their casino in December and several people wanted to give me "comps" for shows and gambling. One woman, one guy who looked like Adam Carolla, and one guy with a British accent. They were all shocked when I said I don't gamble or go to shows.
So there is promotional stuff going on there. They could be paying people $10 to watch a video about buying time shares or something. They have a fancy new tower called Westgate on Harmon Ave.
http://www.urbanphotos.net/images/las_ve鈥?/a>
... they could be trying to sell condos or timeshares in that.|||Its a survey company. I did watched and opnionated two commercials (1 pepsi, 1 oral b/northern tissue) and got paid $8 on the spot. They are located near the food court. $5 for one $3 for the other.
Year ago I got paid $20 for watching a tv show try out.|||You asked very vaguely. According to what you said, if they gave "EVERYONE" $10 when you watched a movie, there wouldn't be poverty on this planet and PH would be out of business. So its false.|||Another one of those famous Vegas rumors|||In LV, rumors are mostly false. So is that one.|||Stayed there in Oct. '08 and never heard of that one.|||That would be Test America on the Miracle Mile
I am thinking about staying there, but was wondering how the pool was. Does it get sun all day? I know Paris is on the same side and the sun does not hit until like 3pm.|||I thought the pool at Planet Hollywood was fine. They have 2 pools on the sixth floor which are heated. There are plenty of chairs and lounges for sunning. The pools face north and south. You don't always get hit by direct rays of the sun. There is also a hot tub and a bar.|||It sucks|||The pool is old. But almost all hotel pools are heated in the summer but not open in winter.|||Its nothing special compared to the really nice ones in Vegas.
However just about all Vegas hotel pools are above average for the most part.
In the summer, the sun should be hitting the pool for a good part of the day. It will dip down below the buildings earlier then most pools though.|||Well each hotel & casino offer there own Pools. I never been to the Pool in Planet Hollywood. But if you want to know about it, you can ask the front desk or the concierge. But I would just go there and check the Pool out myself to see what it looks like and how big it is.
There's a hotel called like, Red, or 38, or VIP, or something... its a single floor of a hotel in Vegas, one near the center of the strip. Not in the ARIA series I don't think... anyone know what it's called?|||Monte Carlo - Hotel 38|||It is Hotel 32 at Monte Carlo- it's supposed to be really nice http://www.hotel32lasvegas.com/
There is also Four Seasons at Mandalay Bay, but it is quite pricey and not exactly on the center of the strip http://www.fourseasons.com/lasvegas/page鈥?/a>|||THere is NO single floor hotel within any casino hotel
My friend and I finally narrowed it down to these two choices. Which one do you prefer and why. Thanks again in advance!!|||Either hotel works, depending on what you're looking for. Here are a few things to consider before you make your choice.
Location: Mandalay Bay is located at the south end of the Strip, while Planet Hollywood is almost located at the middle of the Strip. Unlike Planet Hollywood, Mandalay Bay does offer a free tram that connects to Luxor and Excalibur. You can also walk inside through connectors to access Luxor and Excalibur.
Dining: The dining options at Mandalay Bay are far superior to those at Planet Hollywood, with fine dining options, casual dining options, and quick bites.
Atmosphere: Mandalay Bay has a more casual, laidback, and upscale atmosphere, whereas Planet Hollywood has a livlier, younger, more hip atmosphere.
Accommodations: Both resorts have very nice rooms and suites. Planet Hollywood's rooms have a hollywood theme, while Mandalay Bay's have a beach theme.
Other Amenities: Both resorts have nice spas. Mandalay Bay has a better pool, but Planet Hollywood has better nightlife. Finally, Mandalay Bay offers shopping at Mandalay Place, while Planet Hollywood offers a wider array of shoping options at the Miracle Mile Shops.
Either way, you're sure to have a wonderful trip to Las Vegas.
Good luck and I hope you enjoy your trip!|||If your a 1st timer go with Planet Hollywood, because it has a central location-- everything is easy to get to from this hotel.
If you've been to Vegas multiple times, go with Mandalay Bay, because its literally the last hotel on the strip. But if you've been to Vegas several times there wont be the sense of urgency to see everything on the strip-- if you don't feel like doing a bunch of walking.|||Staying at Planet Hollywood next weekend. Mandalay is nice, but end of strip location can be a pain. PH is located directly across from Bellagio, center strip. I am going out with a girlfriend - both 26. More modern hotel and newer. Also, we were able to find special that included 2 for 1 spa access, $25 buffet credit, $40 gaming credit, and other discounts. PH players club also has a good promo for new members - currently $40 gaming credit when you sign up.|||Mandalay Bay would generally be considered the "better" hotel by most people, based strictly on the level of services and amenities offered.
However, it is more expensive and is in a relatively isolated location.|||I prefer Planet Hollywood only because it can kind of be a pain to catch the train to Mandalay Bay especially late at night and you want to get back to your hotel. Planet Hollywood is more centrally located and the rooms are very nice.|||Mandalay Bay for sure. Cleaner hotel, great service, great pool. Take advantage of their on going specials.
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/las-vegas鈥?/a>|||I would choose Planet Hollywood. Sure Mandalay Bay might be a little fancier but I would pick Planet Hollywood because its more newer since they it used to be Aladdin. But they changed it to Planet Hollywood. I kind of miss Aladdin though...hehe.|||The rooms are completely refurnished in Planet hollywood. The location is much better and there is a lot of shopping plus outside dining and drinks/
--------------
Mandalay Bay has a consideraby better pool.|||Just booked to stay @ Planet Hollywood myself.
Central location and newly renovated gets it for me.
Mandalay bay`s right at the end of the Strip and the airport runway and flights go all night|||Not sure what you are looking for. Mandalay Bay is a nice hotel but not a great location. It is the last hotel on the south end of the strip. PH has a great location and would be my choice.|||Neither. Both are lame, overglitzy, and full of tattooed douchebags and wannabes.
This is why I like to stay downtown. I get the old Vegas, not the cheesy one.|||It really depends on your age and what you are looking for. If you want young and hip, then PH. If you are older, have a family, then MB.
Actually if you don't want the sounds of slot machines and the smell of smoke I would stay at the MGM Signature. They are full suites and very nice. You can take the tram where ever you want from there or rent a car.|||Planet Hollywood has a slightly younger and slightly less affluent crowd.|||Mandalay Bay|||Mandalay Bay|||If price is not an issue.. Mandalay is the much better hotel.
because when i went to Orlando they told me both of those resterants were the biggest? but i dont know ??????!!!!!!?|||They are right..in orlando|||Whats the point of sensless trivia. So maybe you were at the biggest and maybe you weren't. Does that change who you are? Are you a bigger and meaner man because of it? I mean, really, if you were at the biggest Hard Rock, should I expect more from you or RESPECT you any more. Oh, and when you add more that one question mark, does that make you that much more clueless? The point is that you went to a bar/ club, you probably drank too much, flirted with the bartender, didn't tip enough, was rude to the other guests and peed your pants a little. Oh, and cross your t's and dot your i's, also.|||there's a hard rock cafe in atlantic city new jersey but i don't know if is the biggest|||i think that the biggest planet hollywood would be......

I have a home theatre and i want to decorate it with props from different movies, example like props from pirates of the carribean or something. does anyone know where i can get good replicas.|||Any good google search should bring up lots of different prop vendors. I found one that ranks pretty high and they have a good mix of various props. http://www.propstore.com
Wife and I will be staying at the Planet Hollywood over the 4th of July week. Anybody know what stage of repair it is in? Any new restaurants in there we should try? How is the Casino (blackjack and craps)? Pool?|||Apparently the place is largely converted over to PH with the major exception being the restaurants. Most of them are still closed with them saying they will be opened "during the summer." Good news is that their excellent buffet is back in its original home and reports are that it is just as good as before. The 24 hour coffee shop and PF Changs are also open as is a temporary Pink's Hotdogs that will soon move into a bigger space.
Have a great trip!|||I'm also staying over the 4th. How is the pool? Are there a lot of honies? Report Abuse
|||Curious about this question too. I'm staying in August for 2 nights. Not sure if I will be in Planet Hollywood Land or Aladdin. :)
Going to Las Vegas for a Birthday celebration in August. Will be staying for a week. Have heard good things about PH. Would this be a good hotel for 2 females ages 26 & turning 25 to stay? We want a nice room, pool, casino, nightlife close by and to be in a good location. Would appreciate any feedback on this hotel and also if you would recommend any different hotels and why. Thank you in advance.|||The only thing on your list that PH doesn't really offer is a good pool. It has a pool, and the pool is okay, but it's not great. Otherwise, I think you'll be quite happy at PH. It attracts a young crowd, has some good places to party, and is in a good location on the strip. The prices are usually very good, and there is no resort fee at PH.
I also like Caesars and Venetian/Palazzo. They both have a lot going on in and around them, and the rooms are very nice (Venetian/Palazzo rooms are all suites). They have some of the best clubs on the strip as well. They are a bit more expensive than PH. The pool area at Caesars is great, and Venetian usually has a pretty good pool party going on.|||PH is good, they have a good casino, the hotel is fine (but not super elegant), they have a good buffet, the location is good. It really depends on your budget and on what deal you got with them.
In your age range you will probably enjoy PH but bear in mind that every decent quality resort and casino will cater to ALL age ranges, especially on the Strip. If you don't mind paying a little extra Venetial will be great for all ages, so will Mirage, so will MGM (in fact these 3 have better rooms than PH).
If you are after a great pool, Venetian, Wynn/Encore, Bellagio, Mirage and Mandalay Bay are probably the best.|||The cheap rooms aren't that great. I stayed there around 2001 when it was the "new" Aladdin. (The original Aladdin was imploded in 1992 or 1993 and rebuilt; that structure is now Planet Hollywood.) The more expensive rooms may be nicer (they have 4 or 5 different types of rooms) but the basic "cheapie" rooms at Encore, Wynn, Venetian, Palazzo or Mandalay Bay are very nice, plus you get elegant surroundings whereas Planet Hollywood is kind of like a frenetic party. Although I like the Planet Hollywood casino decor, it's kind of science fictiony. I almost stayed there about 2 years ago but decided against it after reading reviews on TripAdvisor.
PH is more central on the strip but I think the Wynn/Venetian area is nicer, it's a bit less touristy and less crowded than the center strip area. I have over 4,000 photos mostly taken on the Las Vegas strip on my web site urbanphotos.net which may help you decide.|||Planet Hollywood is probably my favorite hotel to stay at and has the best value. Rooms and casino were renovated a few years ago and looks nice without being overly expensive - it's Vegas, you shouldn't be in the room that much. The pool is the main downside as it's nothing too special.
A new club just opened up (Gallery) and the Pussycat Dolls Lounge will be opening up there shortly. And since Planet Hollywood has a great location, there's plenty of other clubs (Chateau at Paris, Bank at Bellagio, Marquee at Cosmopolitan....) and lots of bars nearby.
Personally, it's the hotel I recommend the most. Especially if you don't want to spend too much on the hotel room. For example; I enjoyed my stay at Encore but the location is too far north and I wouldn't pay that much for a hotel room (I was comped).|||As a guy in his early thirties I thought it was a nice place to stay. I will say I have stayed at nicer places in Vegas, but for what you get for the money it is a good deal. I will say that my wife probably prefers to stay at Paris over PH, but I think PH has more of a youthful atmosphere. The hotel is in a really good location on the strip so it is easy to get to other hotels. I will say the pool area isn't the most exciting, but it is large.|||Personally, I have not stayed at Planet Hollywood.
This is my experience with Vegas hotels.
Las Vegas Club Hotel is nice and cheap because its in downtown, the quality and service is fair, its only $15 - night Monday-Thursday.
I've also stayed at the El Cortez - another good priced hotel downtown.
You can find more hotels here:
http://www.stuff4you.biz/hotels.html
It checks all of the major booking sites and I find it helpful.|||Got a suite at PH for my b-day. It's got a fun, young crowd and a great location on the strip. Nice places to eat and lots of shopping. The pool, I must say, was kinda weak.|||I say The Tropicanna has the pool you want! PH pool is pitiful! You just might be able to use the new WestGate pool out in the back of Miracle Mile Mall at PH for free. Still a bit dingy. Tropicanna is more lush tropics themed.|||PH is nice but not right next door to other casino hotels with clubs. Look at Luxor or Treasure Island|||I think this would work out fine for you two. Right in the middle of the strip... best location! Have fun!|||its ok if you dont mind paying exorbitant prices
Depends on the crowd flow in front of you. The idiots that come to a dead stop and you walk into them.
Depends on how early your up before the rest of the hotel crowd wakes up and joins in on the strip. Early am 7am, like very very open. A few joggers. I think you can walk faster on the West side of the strip and cross over at The Cosmo.|||Depends on the time of the day, I'd allow at least 30 minutes. Excalibur is on the west side of the blvd, you'll need to take a bridge walkway across the strip. There is one though that goes right across to Planet Hollywood if you walk north on the west side to it. You'll also need to cross Tropicana Blvd by bridge too. I'd stick to the west side and walk up that way, seems like there is less foot traffic than on the east side of the Strip. Especially at night where it might take 10 minutes to get 500 ft the crowds get so thick.|||Google Maps says 16 minutes http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s鈥?/a>
although the directions tell you to "turn right on Tropicana Ave." rather than use the pedestrian walkway. There's also a new walkway at Harmon Ave. you could use.
The distance is eight tenths of a mile.|||depending on how fast you walk and if you're gonna go straight there or get distracted. It really isn't too bad of a walk, about 20 or so minutes.|||It's a little less than a mile from Excalibur to PH - it'll take you about 15 min if you walk straight there.|||Depensd on how fast you walk, it is abouat 2 miles|||15 minutes.|||Only like a block or 2 away so about 20 mins. or so.|||Roughly 20-25 min.|||Why not take the Deuce!!!!!!|||It's 0.8 of a mile so about 15 minutes|||like 20 mins
I am going to vegas this April, and don't know which hotel to book I heard about the surprise resorts fee they have?!! any one konw how much is there fee, what is include it ?|||There are no resort fees at Paris
There will be no resort fee at Planet Hollywood after April 1
Luxor charges a resort fee of $10.95 per day. This fee will cover daily newspaper delivery, 2 bottles of water, admission to fitness center (does not include spa facilities), unlimited local, toll-free, and long distance calls.
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/las-vegas鈥?/a>|||On the following page you will find a list who charges and what they charge for resort fees. Your best bet is to choose a Harrah's property as they have denounced those hidden charges. So you should pick Paris to avoid the surprise fees.|||There is a room tax of 12% and I think that is what people call resort fee. And there is an extra fee if you want internet access at about $15 a day
All are very good hotels, get the one with the best deal since you won't be in the room that much|||I would choose Paris for sure. It is closer to the main area and has great food. It is also right next to the mall at Planet Hollywood.|||Out of the three, I would say Paris is the best. It's at a prime location, has nice comfy rooms, a nice but very small pool on the roof and is a really nice hotel to hang out at. Slots are very tight there but the atmosphere is nice, the bathrooms are the most well kept on The Strip, the food is good and the whole Paris theme really puts you in a different place compared to all the rest on The Strip.
Luxor is ok but I don't think it's worth it. It used to be really fun to stay at but it's lost a lot of it's charm. Planet Hollywood is new and hip but it's still a mess in my opinion. They still have ALaddin things floating around and there are still lots of kinks on that property that need to be worked out. The staff isn't great. I'd hang out here for sure but wouln't like to stay here.|||I would go to Paris hotel or even the venetian

I am having about 25 guest and want a small reception. Let me know if you have any suggestions or comments. |||I got married in Vegas but not at Planet hollywood. The key to getting the right package for you is asking the right questions. Remember it's your wedding and don't let any chapel sweet talk you into anything you don't want to do.

Hi i was just wondering what hotel has the nicer rooms, I will be looking at staying at one of these hotels but not sure which one, but i do want a really nice room.
If anyone has has experience staying at one of these before that would be great if you could tell me what it was like.
Thanks|||Both places are pretty comparable in terms of rooms, pools, etc. They aren't really that far away from each other, so location isn't much of an issue. The locations of both are pretty good. PH is more of a party hotel, so you might like it better if you are into that. They also don't have resort fees at PH, which is a plus. NYNY is a very fun hotel/casino - probably my favorite casino area on the strip, and I love the food and bars there. You really can't go wrong with either.|||NewYork NewYork is located on south strip across from MGM Grand, is a little outdated and the pool does not get rave reviews. Planet Hollywood is located in the center of everything, is newer with a modern feel, and a more party atmosphere. Really neither of them have the best pools. There are resort fees at NewYork of around $15 per night in addition to your rate, but there are no resort fees at Planet Hollywood.

Hi,I am leaving to Las Vegas next week and I was wondering If the planet hollywodd area of Las Vegas is dangerous.Well be walking to MGM etc and stuff like that.Is it dangerous?|||OMG no way. That is one of the safest areas because it is right in the middle of the strip. The strip is very safe at all times. You can walk in confidence that everything will be safe. Have fun and enjoy yourself. |||That is a very safe area. Nothing will happen to you while walking on the busy parts of the strip. It is an easy walk from Planet Hollywood to MGM Grand, and you could also walk all the way down to Treasure Island in the other direction without being bothered.
Don't worry- the Vegas Strip isn't dangerous.|||Las Vegas is not a dangerous city. Violent Crime and Property Crime rates are about average for an American city.
- Planet Hollywood is in a very central location on the strip. There is no danger of any personal crime. Since a lot of people carry large amounts of cash with them for gambling you always need to be careful of pickpockets.|||Like any other city, you need to be wary of pick-pockets. Keep your money in a safe spot -- front hip pocket is usually best.
You also need to deal with people trying to hand you "literature" or sell you a timeshare, but you can pretty well ignore them.
Aside from that, there will be a million people on the streets at every hour of the day, and police officers patrolling on bicycle. It's one of the safest places around.|||Watch out for pickpocketers! And open holed smelly sewers.

Im going on a friday evening with my girlfriend to London, we are going to see a show at 8.30, so need to be there for 8.
Planet Hollywood is moving locations and I rang Hard Rock and they said there will be an hours wait for a table because they don't do bookings. So that means we would have to be there by 6 o'clock and it only leaves us less than an hour to eat our food.
Can anyone suggest an alternative to these two please?

I know im going to do a lot of walking, but i really dont feel like paying for taxis the whole time to get around, so i was wondering how long does it usually get from one hotel to another|||The Paris and Planet Hollywood are next door to each other but the walk may take you 10 or 15 minutes, depending upon how many people are on the sidewalk.
NO!! you don't need a car to get around in Vegas on the Strip. If you did get a car you would spend more time walking from the free hotel/casino parking lots, which are typically behind the hotels and a good ways from the casino and Strip sidewalk.
Many of the hotel are connected by a footbridge, overpass over the street and some like the Paris and Ballys, have an inside connecting hallway. So you don't even need to go outside. Caesars and the Mirage are next door to each other and after you walk through Caesars Forum shops you exit right at the doorway to the Mirage. Caesars is also connected to Bellagio by an overpass over Flamingo Rd. So you walk from one property right to the next.
If you walk down to the NY, NY Hotel Casino you cross the street on an overpass that leads you right into the Excalibur hotel. Then there you can get a free tram that runs between Excalibur, Luxor and the Mandalay Bay Hotel Casinos.
If you go to the back of Harrahs there is a free shuttle bus to take you to and from the Rio Hotel and right across the street from the Rio is the Palms and Gold Coast hotel casinos.
Now if you are thinking about walking the whole strip from the Stratosphere Hotel casino all the way down to the Mandalay Bay, THAT IS a long walk and you would do better catching the public buses that run on the Strip all of the time.|||The Wynn to the Excalibur is 2 miles. This is the stretch that people normally walk.
- South of the Excalibur people take the free tram to the Mandalay Bay. North of the Excalibur people usually take the bus (caled "The Deuce") . Then they walk back through the air conditioned casinos.
- If you get tired of trudging up and down the 2 mile stretch, The Deuce and the monoral are options. The Deuce is more convenient and cheaper, but it is very crowded and can be unpleasant. In this stretch it is only a little faster than walking.|||Paris and Planet Hollywood are actually side by side. If you wait for the light at the crosswalk, it should take you about 5 minutes to get from the Eiffel Tower to the steps of the Miracle Mile Shops.|||Five minutes, they are right next door to each other and with the heat outside you won't be walking slowly.|||last springbreak i went there and we walked EVERYWHERE!! if you walk fast it should only take 20 min.|||Less than 5 minutes.

Thanks in advance.|||No, Planet Hollywood is really just a production, Here is your SIGN!|||I havent stayed there but been there before. It is in a great location.

Planet hollywood is nice also and will have a younger crowd.
I personally will go with Planet Hollywood because they don't have any hidden fees. The Mirage on the other hand will charge you an additional $16.80 per day in resort fees. Since you are staying 8 days, that can add up easily.
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/things-to鈥?/a>|||the mirage is at the more 'reserved' area by the venetaain. PLANET HOLLYWOOD IS THE BEST OUT OF THE TWO, looking to party etc and its right on the good central part fo the strip xx|||If it's the younger crowd you're looking for and be in a great location, then Planet Hollywood is the way to go! It attracts the younger crowd that comes to Vegas. If you are coming for New Years, then you'll definitely want to stay at Planet Hollywood.
I've stayed in the Rob Roy room. What else is available? Can you request certain rooms like, I want the Purple Rain Room?|||I believe our suite was the "Goodfellas" suite. It had a phony automatic gun inside the coffee table, and suits from the actors in glass cases w/ in the walls. Pretty cool.
I think my buddy had the "White Men Can't Jump" room w/ Woody H, etc.|||I stayed in the Robo Cop room. Very cool. The bathrooms were the best. Very spacious

I booked a 2 bedroom suite at the PH towers. I asked the staff for the penthouse rates, but wouldn't tell me because you can only book and know the rates on the day of arrival. Anyone have an idea of how much these penthouses go for in the month of June? I'm looking for a 2-3 bedroom penthouse. Thanks in advance!|||They run for just over 8K per night but are almost always comped to high rollers and very rarely available to the general public.
A good friend of mine stayed there last summer in their uber-penthouse and it was comped because he wins or loses 100's of thousands there in a weekend.|||Generally people don't ask prices if they want a penhouse. But expect at least $5,000 a night or more
I'm just thinking it would be a perfect place to have a beach party area because it would fit in with the Planet Hollywood theme.|||That would be cool!
I think a California beach themed beach club would be pretty cool.
Real sand, volleyball, and small tides.|||Sure would.|||Harrah's officially took over Planet Hollywood in April and there lots of changes coming to PH in the next year and among those will be a great night club and I am sure an awesome beach club to fit in with the younger crowd the resort attracts.
Stay tuned|||At one time Planet Hollywood was called Aladdin, and at the time it was built the idea of clubs was not created.|||yes it would be a great idea.
I am going to see Ricky Hatton fighting against Paulie Malignaggi, (which of course Hatton will win). But am out there for 7 days, and i was wondering, what the planet hollywood hotel is like to stay in? Also, the best nightclubs to go to? Thanks.|||Planet Hollywood is a very trendy, hip hotel. It used to be the Aladdin, and was completely re-done. It has a lot of restaurants, and hosts a number of concerts and sporting events. The only nightclub inside Planet Hollywood is Prive, although there are a few lounges, including the Living Room, and the Heart Bar. There is also Hawaiian Tropic inside of the Miracle Mile shops (a HUGE shopping mall connected to the hotel). Hawaiian Tropic is a nightclub/restaurant, complete with bikini models serving drinks and go go dancers.
Have fun! |||Planet Hollywood is my favorite hotel on the Strip right now! The rooms are hot, the location is perfect, the price is really pretty inexpensive and the rooms are top notch! you can see a lot of pics of the Planet Hollywood Hotel at http://www.bestofvegas.com/hotels/Planet鈥?/a>
Have fun!|||Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casion was awesome. We didnt stay there, but we spent a lot of time there. There are so many awesome places to eat, and a lot of shopping too. It is a very trendy hotel for young people. Some of the dealers are just wearing lingerie. My husband loved that! Haha The best nightclubs, in my opinion, are Pure, LAX, Jet, and Tao, and also that club inside of Treasure Island. Christian something?|||I'll be there too!!! Look for me in a big white frock!! Dunno about night clubs but the hotel is ok to stay in, But honestly Its vegas, you'll find so much to do you just need a clean room with a comfy bed to colapse in after a long day and night..
Yeah Hatton!!!

I've developed an ulcer RIGHT before my trip to Vegas. >.< Some hotels I've stayed at in other places had mini-bars in lil fridges; anyone know if Planet Hollywood rooms are the same? I'm hoping I can bring good-for-my-tummy foods with me since eating is going to be a problem.|||I stayed in a newly renovated room at PH in March, and it did NOT have a fridge. They charge you a fee if you request one.|||I can't tell if they have the mini-fridge in all of their rooms, but I found a review where it said they had one in the 2 bedroom panoramic suite.
But I did find this on lasvegas.com. At the bottom of the page where it says "Planet Hollywood Details" scroll down to standard room amenities. It says "refrigerator (upon request)"
http://www.lasvegas.com/resorts/planetho鈥?/a>
hope this helps! I hope the fun of vegas will get your mind off of your ulcer.|||Call them and ask and ASK them to remove all the standard fill items because IF you remove them even if you dont use and put back, they charge you. Had a friend do that at another hotel because of her brother's medicines, etc. Just explain you have a medical condition where you need to store items, they could possible bring in a portible one if not one in room normally.|||I ma pretty sure that that when I stayed there that we did not have a fridge, many of the hotels will put a fridge in your room if yuo request one for a charge I think its normally about $15 per day. You can call them here
Phone: 702-785-5555
Toll Free: 1-866-919-PHRC (7472)|||When you reserve the room you can request one with a mini frig. If you booked a room with a mini bar, it should automatically include the frig. Check out the PH website below and call them direct with any questions. Good luck and have fun.

House of Blues

Try the Hard Rock Cafe or the House of (no)Blues.|||Hardrock cafe?|||Hard Rock Cafe
Caesars or planet hollywood for 6 early 20 year olds? We have a hook up at one of those casinos. So which one would be best for us?|||Planet Hollywood has clearly marketed themselves for the younger age demographic; as such, they're loaded with more clubs, bars, and "sexy singles" activities than Caesar's. Short version: if you like entertainment (e.g. you'd like good deals on tickets to see stand-up comedians, singers, or play golf), then Caesar's is the place to be. If you'd rather socialize (e.g. by the "Pleasure Pool" or "FAME after dark"), then Planet Hollywood is the better choice.
Looking to have fun with my friends in Montreal. Thinking about Planet Hollywood or hard Rock Caf茅.
I believe both closed. Is anything similar to this in town?|||I think you should try the Kitchen Gallerie. The style is not the same, but the attitude is beyond amazing!|||I would suggest Carlos and Peppes on Peel downtown just above Ste-Catherine. It's mexican and has a varied menu. Ask to sit upstairs.
I find the closest to the Hard Rock and Planet Hollywood in Montreal are Carlos and Peppes but also Three Amigos (on Ste-Catherine near Guy St). I find Carlos has a much tastier menu.
Cresent Street also has a few restaurants that are like the Hard Rock - which might explain why they closed the HR Cafe since it was in that area. Come to think of it, check out Cresent Street.|||There is one near my house, corner St Catherine & Lambert Closse. You are bound to find one on St-Catherine.
Trying to find out how I can get a decent room with a strip view at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, $181 per night is insane, anyone know of any comps or ways to get a lower price?|||There are deals at Planet Hollywood but you should know that strip view rooms are always going to cost more since they are considered upgrades. Also the price you will get depends on the day of the week you plan to stay there. With the weekends costing more of course. Check here for some PH deals.
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/las-vegas鈥?/a>|||That's a pretty good price for a weekend rate but you should be able to score better prices for a week day rate.

So yeah. Tuesdays homecoming theme is hard rock cafe/planet Hollywood. I just basically dress up as any celebrity!
but idk what to wear? I have black hair. Asian. and yeah. what celebrity could I be? I want to wear everyday clothes that I can just pull out of my closet, and not go out and buy something.

Are you allowed to bring cameras into a planet hollywood concert?
Because im going to see Nine inch nails there in december and I would really like to know if they have anything like mandalay bays "no camera policy"|||Most casinos and all showrooms have no cameras because it ruins the ambiance for others as well as an invasion of privacy|||you're probably right, but according to ticketmaster, P.H. only disallows audio/video:

Looking at booking Vegas for New Year (planning ahead, I know) and I'm guessing the sooner you book the cheaper it is, especially since I'm in the UK.
So does anyone know when Planet Hollywood release their rooms? Thanks :)|||You don't need to book so much in advance, I'd start looking maybe in the summer, it's way too early now.
Sometimes they have amazing deals. Last year, they accidentally released a employee promo where you could get 40% off the NYE rooms. A lot of people saved a lot of money lol.
Anyways, check sites like http://www.mycheapvegas.com for the latest promo codes. When you find something you find reasonable, book it, then keep checking back. If you find something better, rebook, and cancel initial reservation with no penalty.|||Rooms can be booked usually 365 days in advance.
But booking in advance does not mean a cheaper room. The big casinos have a hugh financial staff that knows how to forecast and determine what people are willing to pay on any given day of the year, especially big days. If it ends of being wrong and don't fill the rooms, as anticipated, the rooms will be discounted.
This year there were about 1800 unsold rooms on New Years Eve in all of Las Vegas. That's over 99.5% occupied. The hotels will be upping the price for next year. The hotels can risk having a little bit less occupancy but much more income per unit sold.|||90-120 days in advance.
I was staying at Vdara a while ago, and I was looking for a decent chain restaurant to eat dinner at. I knew there was a Planet Hollywood restaurant at Caesars palace, but the PH hotel is across the street, so I decided to go there. After walking around like an idiot for 20 minutes (passing the poker tables with dancing women several times) I was told that the nearest Planet Hollywood restaurant is AT CAESARS! WTF?|||That hotel has only been Planet Hollywood for a few years - it was the Alladin before that. The PH restaurant was in Caesars before there ever was a PH hotel in Vegas.|||http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_Holl鈥?/a>
My guess is that they're planning to close the restaurants so they didn't bother putting one in the new PH resort.|||lol :P
I am 23 years old and my and my bf are planning a trip to Las Vegas. I can't chooose which place to stay at. I mean Planet Hollywood and Caesar Palace both look great! HELP ME!!! lol.|||We stayed a Caeser's but Planet Hollywood was really nice too. Depends on what you are looking for, Luxury . . . Caeser's, more nightlife stuff: Planet Hollywood.
PH is cheaper. Both properties are owned by Harrah's. One of the best deals we found was the Buffett of Buffet's. For $39.99 you can eat at all the Harrah's properties for a 24 hour period. Buy it in AM for Breakfast eat at Caeser's, have lunch at Planet Hollywood then have dinner at one of the other properties, then finish with breakfast the next morning . Its a pretty good deal.
We had fun a both casino's, just played the slots, but won more at Caeser's and pretty much broke even. Hope this helps.|||I'm 23 also and my bf and i would stay at Caesars Palace over Planet Hollywood ANYDAY.
Caesars Palace has:
better rooms (the augustus tower room are beautiful!!)
a better location in the CENTER of the strip versus PH is towards the south end.
better shopping selection with a wide variety of stores for ANY budget
the pools are amazing!!!!
this is very much a nightlife hotel too with one of the most popular club, Pure. (what club does planet hollywood have??? I don't even recall and i go to vegas at least once a month)
There is also a bar called Cleopatra's Barge and the bar floats on top of water. (bar is on a ship-like atmosphere)
CP's rooms are bigger than PH.
walking distance to MANY MANY other hotels. planet hollywood is on the loser end of the strip...it's close to luxor, tropicana, excalibur, new york new york...ughhh boring.)
i just see caesar palace more of a classier hotel but yet, it still has all the nightlife and attractions and dining options 23-27 year olds would enjoy. planet hollywood is alright, but i don't know about the classy part....|||If it were me, and I am a cheapskate whenever I can be, I would get an inexpensive motel off the strip about a mile and take the bus to the strip. You could probably save about $50 per night. However, if money is no object, Planet Hollywood is probably geared more toward younger people.|||Planet Hollywood will probably more affordable and a better setting for your age range. Although, I go to Caesars just to eat at the Cheesecake Factory. Plus they have a lot of high end shops there depends on what you want to spend. Enjoy your time in Vegas.|||I say Planet Hollywood! I am also looking for a hotel to stay at on the strip and read reviews on PH and they were all great. It said it is geared for people your age, and it said you may even run into famous people!|||You'll feel like a million bucks if you stay at Caesars's. What kind of atmosphere are you looking for? If your going for opulance, than go for Caesar's. If your going for fun and partying, go PH. Probably more people in your age range at PH.|||Caesar.|||for your age bracket, planet hollywood.|||although Caesars in a very nice hotel. i would say PH. more people your age & most likely wont be using the room.|||Pick the best room deal, you won't spend that much time in room. Both are very good places but PH says they cater to 20s
I'm trying to remember what kind of themed room I stayed in when I stayed at the Planet Hollywood Hotel in Las Vegas but I can't remember!

Did Planet Hollywood remodel their rooms recently. I am staying there this weekend, but unsure of how clean the rooms are. Do they have crab legs at their Spice market buffet? Thanks everyone.|||Spice Market Buffet is presented in 9 different pavilions that includes 2 salad bars, a seafood section, a desert section, and the additional 5 sections - each with a cultural theme. These themes include:Asian, Italian, American, Middle Eastern, and Mexican and each offers many diverse items from which to choose
With seafood section, you can help yourself to crab legs, oysters, sushi, jumbo fried shrimp, and baked salmon. Other signature items include seafood enchiladas and shrimp jambalaya.
Planet Hollywood Rooms include:
Hollywood Hip: standard room with a Hollywood "hip-style". Choice between one king bed or two queen. It is 450 square feet, has two speaker phones, an ironing rack, an oversized bathtub, a shower, and 42-inch plasma television. A purple sitting chair is also available by the window. This room is also available as a "fountain-view room" which offers a remarkable view of the Bellagio Resort and Casino and its fountain water-show. It has the same accommodations as the Hollywood Hip and is usually available at an extra charge.
Resort room: similar to the Hollywood Hip but larger and with more accommodations. It is about 560 square feet with a choice between a king bed or two queens. It has the same ironing board, oversized bathtub, and internet access (for a fee). What is extra other than extra space is that this offers two windows and two chairs. It offers a sofa, double sinks, and ambient bathroom lighting.
Resort Vista: not only does this room have a great view but it is also 570 square feet with a king size bed, marble bathroom floors, oversized soaking tub, a writing desk, coffee table and sofa. This is an add-on to the other mentioned features.
Panorama Suite: about 1,255 square feet this is perhaps considered the most elegant room in the resort. It has a panoramic 180-degree view of the Las Vegas Strip from living room. It features luxurious accommodations like a double door foyer entrance, two sofas or one sofa and several chairs, one 52-inch flat screen TV in living area, a dining area, wet bar with refrigerator, adjoining powder room, large writing desk, separate bedroom area with couch and table, one 36-inch flat screen TV in bedroom, oversized soaking tub with retractable wall, and an iPod station in bedroom.|||No to crabs anywhere
I just sat through a solid, but stock, timeshare, pitch for the new Planet Hollywood Tower by Westgate. Thinking about doing a deal and want to know if anyone has any info both pro or con.|||hello!!!
Ok please listen carefully, DO NOT BUY A TIMESHARE!!
Especially from the developer. We owned a westgate timeshare in Vegas, we paid too much, couldn't sell it and ended up donating it (even that was a process)
You could buy the same timeshare they told you about for a couple of thousand dollars. Don't believe what they say, a timeshare DOES NOT have a resale value. Only buy it if you know you are going to use it every year, but DO NOT buy it as a real estate investment. Don't forget, you have your yearly assessments, which go up all the time. They could even hit you with a "special" assessment at anytime.
Ok, if you don't believe me go on ebay, people are trying to sell it for 1.00! That's right one dollar! and they still can't

I'm visiting Vegas in a few days and I am staying in Excalibur but I really want to visit Planet Hollywood. I'm pretty much doing everything on foot. I just I want to know how much walking I plan on doing or if I need to take a taxi.|||From the moment you leave your room (bearing in mind that most of the walking will be INSIDE the Excalibur, which is pretty big) it'll take you about 15 minutes walking to reach PH. If you are a very slow walker, maybe longer, but it's a really easy walk. Bear in mind that when I stay at Excalibur I walk all the way to Bellagio in 20 minutes, and Bellagio is further up than Planet Hollywood! You can and should do Vegas on foot, since it's all reachable (if you are on the Strip) and it's all very well connected by a great bus system (the Deuce along the Strip and the fantastic Ace for all the main areas of Las Vegas, including downtown, the shopping centres and 4 main areas along the Strip.

My wife and I have visited Vegas more than 30 times, staying mostly at the Flamingo (which is getting a bit tired). We decided on our last trip that we would stay at Planet Hollywood the next time. We are planning to take our niece there in May for her 21st birthday. Right now the rates are running about $200 a night. I am thinking the opening of the City Centre across the street in December has got to affect the rates at Planet Hollywood. Any thoughts?|||Room rates are gauged on a weekly basis, and it is almost impossible to say anything with certainty. For the last 20 years each new casino has expanded the market in Las Vegas, attracting more and more visitors by car or plane. Now the planes have been cut, and only Southwest and the tiny Allegiant Air have hubs at Las Vegas (USAirways is reducing flights so that Las Vegas just connects with hub cities). Visitors dropped from 39 million a year to 35 million.
=============
The multi-billion dollar question on everyone's mind is will City Center cannibalize on the other casinos. When the Encore opened up a year ago the combined Wynn Encore made less money on both casinos than just the Wynn casino, and the rest of the resort only made about 10% more. So if the visitors don't increase you will be correct.
-----------------
The PH has kept there room rates higher than almost any other resort. They are now teetering on bankruptcy. May I suggest Treasure Island as your upgrade. A petite suite at Treasure Island is about $139 midweek.|||Planet Hollywood knows just as well as you and I do when CityCenter opens, how big it is, and how much their rooms cost. They are not going to be taken by surprise and suddenly panic and change their rates for the next 6 months on the day it opens - they have known for years that this was coming and have taken it into consideration already.
The only thing they don't know yet is how successful CityCenter will be. If it's very successful and rates at CityCenter are high, Planet Hollywood may actually RAISE their rates because of their great "location" across the street from CityCenter.
If CityCenter is not successful, they will charge lower rates, which may in turn push down rates at Planet Hollywood.|||When new larger and more elegant properties open they force the others to take a grade down in status. I remember when Excalibur was one of the most expensive properties on the strip and now it is one of the lowest priced. The law of supply and demand works very well here. By adding all those rooms at City Centre will take visitors away from other properties and force them to reduce prices to draw customers back to them. A new property will not bring new unique first time visitors, it will draw on clientel from other hotels. Prices will drop after the opening and they feel the pinch. Add to the fact that it looks like Harrah's Corp may soon be taking it over.|||At $200 /night, I will ask for my money back. Rooms at Aria and Vdara are currently going for $159 & $149 a night. Planet Hollywood will have to give their rooms away after December to get anyone in there.

You will see the entrance for Miracle Mile shops. The shops are connected to Planet Hollywood. You can find self or valet parking at this entrance.
This is the easiest way in.
Paradise goes the length of the strip and is the route used by cabs and shuttles.|||Planet Hollywood is the former Aladdin. I would take West Sahara to Rainbow/right to Spring Mountain/left to Las Vegas Boulevard/right|||Take Sahara East to I-15.

The Hard Rock is far off the strip and you can't walk anywhere.|||You could also try staying at Bally's (usually a bit cheaper in room prices) and it's only two hotels north of Planet Hollywood. That is the happening spot though. Most of the partying hotels are within walking distance so you can't go wrong staying in that area.|||The PH(Planet Hollywood) is a great place to stay. It's located on the strip North of MGM and next to Paris. PH and Paris is a happening place for anyone in their 20's and 30's. Compare rates at PH and Paris. Both are good.
You won't go wrong choosing PH.

I'd also stay at the Paris.|||PH is nice but can be expensive. In order to save some money check the Planet Hollywood Promotion Codes on http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com|||this is one of my favorite casinos and hotel good choice|||Yep - nice hotel, good location on the strip.|||Hard Rock Hotel !!!!!!!!!|||Yeah it's pretty nice. Big time partying too.
Planing a trip to vegas and planet hollywood caught my eye then I saw planet hollywood tower, whats the difference between the two.|||Good question!
Planet Hollywood is the main casino hotel right on the Strip, which used to be the Aladdin. Now it's owned by Harrah's, the casino hotel chain.

The Planet Hollywood Towers Westgate is a timeshare condo resort with studio, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments. It's slightly farther east, off the Strip at the back of the property. Staying there can be a bit more unpredictable, because some rental units are individually owneed, so you never know exactly what you're going to get. That said, I've heard good things about it, b/c it's newer.

Hope that helps!|||Sara hit the nail on the head. I'll just add a few details for you as I just booked a room in the Towers for a week in August and have done ALOT of research.
The PH Towers (it's really only 1 tower- second one hasn't been built) is connected to the Miracle Mile shops, so it does sit back a little bit further off the strip but only a short walk through the mall to the casino and out onto the strip.

It's a smoke free property, which Planet Hollywood is not..so if you are a smoker, that could be a deciding factor for you.
Also, don't let the pictures on the website fool you. They are artist renderings of what the resort was to look like, some things weren't completed exactly as planned (example...the pool does not look exactly like some of the pictures you'll see. There are no waterfalls or sand as they claim. But it still looks like a decent pool. Check out real pictures on Tripadvisor.
The Towers are "all suites" so I've heard of people who book with PH Resort being offered an upgrade to a studio in the PH Towers. While the 1 bdrm and 2 bdrm suites are beyond comparison, I don't think the studio is really much better than a regular Hollywood Hip room in the regular PH. Although the Studio does have a kitchenette so you've got a fridge and microwave in your room.
I booked the Towers on vegasview.com (division of tripres.com) for cheap cheap cheap. And the deal is still ongoing.

I've read bad reviews and I've read good ones. Same goes for any resort I guess. I think the Planet Hollywood is a little bit more "in the centre of the action" while the Towers is quieter (not directly above the casino) so you can escape the hustle and bustle. But it's still right there, steps away from all the action.|||Planet Hollywood is the strip casino hotel where guess like you and me stay it just like a regular hotel on the strip.. You will be fine here.
Hollywood Towers are more like a condo on the strip that people buy, both are connected together via planet hollywood mall and its really nice!
Is there a planet hollywood in los angeles, cailfornia?|||I don't beleive there are any left in California. The chain is on an upswing, bu hasn't done well for the past 10 years. They closed a lot of restuaurants. There used to be one in Santa Monica, but the closest one to L.A. now is the Resort in Vegas... sorry.|||No. There were originally two Planet Hollywoods in the L.A./O.C. area. The first was in Orange County, near South Coast Plaza. The second was on Wilshire Blvd in Beverly Hills. Both have closed.

Does anyone know when planet hollywood was formed? or when it became a company... also does anyone no any organisations who support them? plz help me|||Planet Hollywood, a theme restaurant chain inspired by the popular portrayal of Hollywood, was launched in New York on October 22, 1991, with the backing of Hollywood stars Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Demi Moore. It was a brainchild of Robert Earl, former president of Hard Rock Cafe. Planet Hollywoods were modeled after the Hard Rock formula, so closely in fact that a lawsuit ensued and awarded the Hard Rock millions in damages. Earl recruited many former Hard Rock veterans to open new PH stores. Movie star "owners" received stock options at rock bottom price in exchange for their endorsement, thus they could be billed as legal owners.
