We stayed at Planet Hollywood in Oct. for four days. We have been here before when it was Aladdin and loved it, the new digs make it even better. This place is usually more expensive since the change, however with the help of TripAdvisor's price check tool, we found a great deal.
The location can not be beat if you want to stay on the strip. It's smack dab in the middle with the Bellagio right across the street. Check in was quick and easy.
The new rooms all, at least in the one we stayed in had a movie theme with pictures and alleged props from a movie. They did a great job updating the room with plasma televisions, comfortable beds and a huge bathroom. The only downside, as you can see from the pictures, is the arrangement of the beds to the tv. I know, who sleeps and who watches television in Vegas, but occasionally i do, and from the second bed, you can't even see the tv. It's just a weird setup. That aside, I still enjoyed the room.
The pool isn't the best in Vegas, but it's not the worst either. Plain and simple, nothing special about it.
The food is okay too. Ate at P.F. Chang's for one dinner. It didn't taste very authentic. The Spice Market Buffet was good for lunch, since we had a free coupon, that made it even better. Food was fresh and plenty to choose from.
The casino was on the tight side for slots and the table game dealers were not very friendly. Mostly played at other casinos, but from time to time i would try their slots. Hit a couple of small progressives on the penny slots, which made up for the other losses.
All in all, i would stay here again. It's a fresh take on a great hotel and the location is the best, especially for first time travelers to Vegas.
The only down side, as written in other reviews are the time share folks. They will approach you every chance they get. Off the elevator, coming in the casino, even on the street. After awhile we just tried to avoid them all together after telling them no so many times.
