Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, NV

This is a really good place to stay. A convenient place on The Strip. Catch the bus out the front of the casino to go up and down The Strip. Use the Deuce bus service as it’s much cheaper than the hop-on-hop-off. Our room was lux and very roomy. Very clean and quiet.

I actually like Planet Hollywood. It is one of the few casinos that still have bathtubs in their rooms. This is a big plus for me. However, the hotel needs updating and the check in process is a joke. I received a text to pre-check in. When I got to the hotel, I went to the kiosk, scanned in my license and still had to wait in line to see a desk agent. Why???? Just don't send the text and let me just go to the desk agent. The room was clean, but the faucets were broken and the whole spigot turned when turning the water on and off. The carpets in the hallway need cleaning and the walls need painting. I still love Planet Hollywood, but they need to do some refreshing. And I did not get my points for staying with them.

I give Planet Hollywood 3.5 out of 5. We booked it as part of a package deal through an airline which was a good deal. Best part: Clean, modern, central. Worst part: Fees on top of fees on top of fees. Read on for pros and cons: PROS: ~Central, albeit busy location on the strip. Next to Paris, across from Cosmopolitan. ~We had an 'Ultra Hip 2 Queens Mountain View' Room on a high floor. It was quiet, clean, modern and had a nice view of the mountains, some hotels, the top of the mall, the airport and back roads. ~The bathroom was spacious with a deep bath and a separate shower with a glass door. There was a separate toilet with a door in the bathroom. One vanity sink and a lighted mirror with a shelf below. ~Daily maid service -- a refreshing perk since Covid. Maids that we spoke to were friendly. ~Plenty of towels in the bathroom. ~Hair dryer, flat screen TV, iron, ironing board, safe, alarm clock, phone, charging station, empty mini-fridge in room. ~Two Starbucks on property. ~Other restaurants like Rain Forest Cafe, McD's, Earl of Sandwich, Subway on property/access outside. ~Within walking distance of many hotels, restaurants, malls, shows. ~Ride share and taxi area outside lobby. (Hidden from the street). ~The hotel is above the Miracle Mile mall featuring many shops, restaurants, ABC Store, theaters, bars. ~The ride share cost from the airport to Planet Hollywood was around +/-$20 including tip. (March 2025) ~The pool area featured loud music, towels, a bar, table tennis, foosball, loungers, day beds and cabanas. (See my notes below regarding prices). It's surrounded by towering hotels. CONS: ~We paid $186.90 in RESORT FEES (per room) over 3 nights. This includes things like use of WiFi and the pool. Having said that, they charge between $39.99 to $175 to use the pool furniture/day beds/cabanas (March 2025, prices may raise in the summer season). I thought this was a rip off. Having already paid resort fees, I would at least expect to sit on a lounge bed for free. Nope. (The towels were complimentary and you could use them to sit on the concrete floor or walls). Note: You do need a room key to access the pool. ~Charge for early check-in. I understood that check-in was advertised at 4pm, but our flight arrived early and we arrived at the hotel around 12:30pm. We were informed we could check in early IF we paid for it. $75 to check in before 10am. $50 to check in before 12pm. $30 to check in before 3pm. We decided paying for a tip at the bag check would be cheaper and went and enjoyed The Strip until we were allowed to check in for free after 3pm. Check-in is at the self-check in kiosks or front desk. I've never in my life encountered a hotel that charged for early check-in. ~Only one of the two pools was open in March. ~No coffee machine or microwave in the room. ~Seemed like a tricky hotel/casino to navigate. Took us a few days until we had the hang of it. Some doors lead outside to The Strip, some to the indoor mall. The lobby is downstairs and you go up escalators to the casino. ~Bad lighting in the room. It was not bright enough to see how my make-up looked. I had to hope that it looked OK. ~The long mirror was in the wardrobe, but was not well lit. ~No lock on the bathroom double doors or inner toilet stall door. ~The front desk staff were OK, not overly friendly, just perfunctory. ~If you want a quieter area of The Strip, I recommend you head towards The Wynn or New York New York. Note: You need to wave your door key in the elevator to get up to your floor. If you found this review useful, please give it a thumbs up.

We enjoy our first stay at Planet Hollywood, the staff was very friendly and there were ALOT of options to choose from onsite and close by for meals and necessaries. The Pool and Hot tubs were open in March and the rooms were a nice size overall.

My wife and I's last visit to Las Vegas was 15 yrs ago. We have been on a three week vacation, driving thru the Southwest enjoying scenery, hotel conveniences and various restaurants. We were so looking forward to seeing the Eagles at the Sphere which was the highlight of our vacation. What a let down on the Planet Hollywood and Las Vegas. Extremely expensive...we were use to hotel conveniences. (In room coffee, soap/shampoo, clean rooms and free breakfast) Plan on lots of inconveniences along with going downstairs to lobby and spending $45+ for coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Plan on spending $65+ more when visiting a restaurant. The rooms seem dusty and the bathtub was not clean. Would never stay there again...in addition, the slots were extremely tight and may have heard 1 or 2 machines hitting the entire 3 days we were there. Stay off the strip and Planet Hollywood...matter of fact, stay clear of Las Vegas.
