planet hollywood: 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 :)
