Shining in the
spotlight of the Las Vegas Strip, Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino boasts
gourmet restaurants, world-class shopping and dazzling entertainment that
has hotel-casino patrons cheering for an encore.
Like the plot of a
motion picture, this classic Las Vegas casino – where Elvis and Priscilla
Presley were married – once rose from the dead: It was imploded in 1998 and
then rebuilt from the ground up. As for its most recent dazzling special
effect, the Aladdin lifted the curtain to Hollywood in Sin City when it was
reborn as Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. Since Planet Hollywood's
arrival, the property has made a metamorphosis from its lacklustre
Arabian-theme into a high-tech, retro-chic attraction unlike any other Strip
property.
Though infused
with a taste of Hollywood culture, the vibe at Planet Hollywood is
intended to be welcoming and unpretentious. Who knows, you might even
find yourself sitting down to play blackjack next to Jack Black.
The hotel's movie
theme is played out in the rooms through film memorabilia displayed in
custom-designed cabinetry. The glamorous 12,800-square-foot lobby at Planet
Hollywood has eight chandeliers, each comprised of 66,000 individually
hand-strung crystals. Black granite floors, textured glass walls and large
columns beckon guests to the check-in desk, where bands of LED lights
continuously change colour.

The 100,000-square-foot casino appears to be in constant motion with
glowing rectangular light fixtures, which change colours from red to
blue to green to purple. Tall pillars with either geometric patterns
or stripes reach from the floor to the ceiling, and neon LED lights
brighten the walls. More than 250 flat screen televisions can be
found topping slot machines, while 87 table games await those ready
to try their luck. Additional gaming options, include a race and
sports book and a poker room.
For a bite to eat, head to the Spice Market Buffet or choose from
the large menu at the 24-hour coffee shop Planet Dailies. Upstairs
on the mezzanine level, Strip House redefines the traditional
steakhouse with an innovative menu in a sexy, vintage atmosphere,
while KOI, a well-recognized L.A. restaurant and lounge, combines
the exotic Far Eastern aura with the energy and style of Hollywood.
On the casino level, the first Las Vegas outpost of Earl of Sandwich
makes sandwich eating a gourmet treat and the festive cantina Yolos
provides a modern tribute to Mexican culture.
Planet Hollywood's Strip entrance is no longer the maze of confusion
from the days of the Aladdin. The vegetation is gone and the
entrances are clearly marked with escalators or stairs leading
people off the Strip and into the property. Music plays at the
doorways while color-changing orbs decorate the front of the hotel.
There is also a clear entrance to the attached Miracle Mile Shops,
which is owned separately from the hotel. The mammoth mall has more
than 140 stores and dozen restaurants – like Urban Outfitters,
Build-A-Bear Workshop, GAP Body, BCBG Max Azaria, bebe and The
Discovery Channel Store – incorporating something for every
discerning taste.
As expected in Hollywood, Planet Hollywood is packed with high
caliber entertainment. Upstairs, a brand new 1,500-seat showroom is
used for premiering major motion pictures. Planet Hollywood is also
home to one of the best concert venues in Las Vegas, the Theatre for
the Performing Arts at Planet Hollywood. Theatre inside the
Miracle Mile Shops features different shows for audiences of all
ages.
Center stage in the casino of Planet Hollywood is a circular hot
spot called the Heart Bar, a place to hang out with the beautiful
people while sipping on drinks served by cocktail waitresses in
black leather go-go attire. Guests can grab their 15 minutes of fame
at the Extra Lounge, the new Las Vegas headquarters for the
correspondents and crew of television’s “Extra.” Located near the
hotel's front entrance, this 24-hour bar is the perfect spot to see
who’s coming and going.
Those ready for a night of dancing should check out Krave nightclub
is located adjacent to the shops.
For a tranquil retreat from the flurry of shoppers, concert goers
and gamblers, the Planet Hollywood Spa by Mandara offers relaxing
body therapies from around the world, as well as saunas and steam
rooms. With such superior treatment, you will truly feel like a
movie star.
