Planet Hollywood - The Real Deal :
The Planet Hollywood casino is a pretty nice joint inside even if it looks like an explosion at a Quiet Riot concert. The table limits vary from mid-to high minimums and there are always a lot of tables in action. If you're looking for a specific slot machine, they've got slot finder kiosks around the entrances, which is a great thing as the Planet Hollywood's casino can be quite weird to navigate through.
Planet Hollywood History
More than possibly any other carpet joint in Las Vegas, the Aladdin Hotel and Casino has had an incredible story of mob connections, constantly changing ownership, celebrity intrigue, bankruptcy, Elvis Presley and Wayne Fucking Newton. Even Johnny Carson tried to buy the Aladdin in the 70s. It seems that the Aladdin's story continues to baffle, plagued somewhat by location (it's at the north end of the South part of the strip) where there isn't that much foot traffic. The rebranding of Aladdin as Planet Hollywood is officially complete. All of the rooms (well, most of them) have been completely redecorated although some of the old Aladdin fixtures remain - which invites visitors to engage in the most fun of all Vegas games : Spot The Stuff From The Previous Theme.
Location of Planet Hollywood:
It's right next to Paris Las Vegas, across the road and north of New York-New York and Monte Carlo. City Center and The Cosmopolitan will be neighbors across the street. There's a Fatburger nearby too for those who've never had the joy of eating a burger topped with cheese, chili, bacon and egg. It's good messy fun.

The Rooms at Planet Hollywood
Planet Hollywood's rooms aren't bad, especially for the price. Mid-week prices can be low ($89 or even $49 via Priceline as reader JustJoey scored) to a bit on the high side on weekends ($319) for a view of Bellagio.
All rooms come with internet access (for a fee) and have photos of your favorite movie stills hanging about. Don't expect opulence, but do expect some nice comfortable digs on par with what you'll find at Ballys, Paris or standard non-Go rooms at the Flamingo. If you find a good deal - grab it.
Restaurants at Planet Hollywood
The Planet Hollywood has no shortage of places to for a nice "grown up" dining experience. For those who want to add the sin of gluttony to your trip, there is the Spice Market Buffet (a perennial contender for best buffet in town year after year after year.)
Strip House is the P-Ho's New York Steakhouse run by executive chef John Schenk
Koi - Japanese cuisine including sushi and sashimi
Yolo's - mexican grill featuring a fountain of margaritas (yum)
P.F. Changs - chain Chinese joint (get the lettuce cups)
Planet Dailies - coffee shop
Earl of Sandwich - classic sandwich joint
Pink's Hot Dogs - legendary Hollywood purveyors of snap dogs
Spice Market Buffet - the legendarily awesome buffet lives on!
The best thing about Planet Hollywood? It's the home of the only 24 hour Starbucks in Las Vegas. There are a bunch of other places to eat - food court and chain shops, but nothing too notable.
Planet Hollywood Tips
Planet Hollywood is not in a bad location, but the odd entrance to the joint has been less than inviting. A a result, P-Ho always seems to be forgotten... with the new strip frontage, entrance, flashing Times-Square-esque flashing billboards entry into the property is infinitely easier and less of a boring trudge through tacky shops.
Planet Hollywood also boasts an Extra! coctail lounge where you can get a cold drink and a hot phone call from that naughty Pat O'Brien character.
Nice rooms, great location, and a good selection of casino games. You may laugh at the name and ownership, but remember it's not owned by one of the Big Dogs in town who have been homogenizing the street.

my general home in vegas before and after the updating from the aladdin to the current PH. the new look is more modern with paneling all over and the biggest problem with the revamp is the stationing of the timeshare folks at the elevators off the casino for you to get to your rooms. the beds are very comforatble and they have added movie memorabilia to the rooms. the miracle mile has some of the best shopping and you cant go wrong eating at Cheeseburger, the Spice Marlet buffet and Planet Dailies, the 24 hour resturant.

Arabian Nights my ass! If you ask me, combing 80's A-listers, whacked out design, themed rooms, and color changing lights was destined to make this a quintessential Vegas resort. Yes, it's gaudy. Yes, it's over the top. But it's all done in such a high-class way that the overall effect works.

i was here for a show STOMP OUT LOUD and must say for a young property it was very nice i loved the miracle mile shops very tasteful but way too many vegas themed stores there's a cheap place at about every turn in there lol... as far as the casino it had a really good layout and easy to navigate the only thing i had a beef with were the security personnel they were unhelpful almost like having an encounter with the C.I.A. seriously folks i am dead serious they stand there and won't talk or move unless approached by another of their kind other than that very top notch resort !!!

This is where the crew normally stays. We cram as many as we can into a 2bdrm Panorama Suite, stock it with liquor and snacks and it becomes degenerate-central. Well mostly we just use it to sleep a little and play cards on the Fri/Sat to stay away from the jacked up table mins those nights. But oh the fun we COULD have...if our wives would let us.

Go Go girls while you gamble, 'nuff said. The decor was modern and pleasant...my kind of style! Good music playing too! Too bad the minimums were so high!

They gave me a 1,200+ sq. ft. panorama suite when I reserved one of their standard rooms, and for that I will always be grateful. There was no reason to renovate this place. Planet Hollywood better be damn good.

Planet Hollywood made a solid attempt at trying to remake a ruined property, washing away 2/3rds of the former Aladdin (and giving Vegas aficionados a new game: "Spot the Aladdin Theme") while providing one of the best independently run casinos. Now part of the Harrah's fleet, who the hell knows what will happen.

Great fun vibe for a weekend night out. Watch out for b-list celebs working the Heart Bar. Friendly dealers and ok luck pervade. Planet Dailies has some great 24 hour food for your taking. Avoid the labyrinth of a mall and stay elsewhere though for the lack of updated rooms. Also look for those middle eastern touches from the past.

Better than the Aladdin. Friendly staff. Interested to stay here one trip. Time share people were a little pushy. Like the layout of games, but parts are a little cramped.

The douchebaggery level here was not nearly as high as I have read on this site. The place was hopping and the service was good. This is a top candidate for our business during our December trip.

By far the best low buy-in NLH poker tournaments on the Strip - four times a day. Friendly dealers and very beatable opponents. The casino's not only well located, it's a nice attempt at Palms and Hard Rock cool, and so much better than Aladdin was - not looking forward to the Harrah's takeover...

PH has a young hip vibe. It seems to cater to the 20s-30s age range.The casino and lobby has a very trendy, opulent look to it. Miracle Mile Shops are connected to the hotel, which makes it very convient for the shopping enthusiast. The delux rooms are nice and spacious. However, they do seem very dark and do not have enough lighting options. The bathroom is spacious with a seperate tub and shower. Overall, it is a very nice property and the location is ideal.

We had a better time the first time we stayed here when it was the Alladin. Be sure to ask for a room upgrade @ check in. First time we stayed here we got an upgrade to a "Strip Suite" for no additional charge !! P Ho's new look in the casino is great. All sorts of flat panel tv's and cool color changing lighting. Wondering if they are going to update the rooms now. Pay the extra fee for a Bellagiio Fountain view room. Worth it.

Am I the only one who loved the Aladdin? Zanzabar might be the best cafe in all of Vegas (I hope it's still there)

Stayed when it was the Aladdin Hotel. Visited the new PH, still like the Desert Passage shops. Caught the V Ultimate Variety show, it was fun. Casino paid when it was Aladdin, not so good as PH.

When my wife and I stayed here, it was The Aladdin, not Planet Hollyblablah.
Althougfh, we had been to Vegas before, this was our first time staying on the strip. We had a blast, we liked Aladdin and would stay here again. THe pool was pretty plain, but somehow we didn't mind. Spice Market buffet is one of the best. Free craps lessons in the casino!
