planet hollywood: 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. http://www.planethollywoodresort.com/cas鈥?/a> 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. http://www.phtowers.com/accommodations/a鈥?/a> 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. See diagram here : http://www.miraclemileshopslv.com/direct鈥?/a> 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. Check it out here: http://www.vegasview.com/hotels/info.asp鈥?/a> 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!
