Pros:
The casino was upbeat and lively, with great service, and helpful dealers and servers.
Cons:
Every time you exited or entered you were subject to time-share sales pitch.

This was my first extended visit to Las Vegas. My wife had been there several times with friends. We stayed at Planet Hollywood because she thought the casino host she knew would give us a better room rate. She was wrong. Our room was loud with the constant hum of the elevator nearby. Simple things like the non-functioning pop machine on our floor which was never fixed during our stay.
The time-share pitch was the worst. Every time you got near a door you were subjected to the "comps" for 90 minutes of your time. My wife and I agreed to the listen to the offer. We spent approx. 45 minutes going through the registration, only to be told that since we hadn't stayed one night yet we were ineligible to participate. The most frustrating part was we TOLD them we had just arrived and the first greeter had no problem with that. So we didn't qualify for our 'comps', although they did give us a $10 sandwhich voucher for our time.(which my wife argued for.) I'm more inclined to believe it was our monthly income that voided us. I will add that as you walk down the strip you get approched constantly with the time share pitch form other properties as well, so it's not exclusive to PH. Just annoying.
The property itself is very lovely and the 'Miracle Mile' shops were awesome. The casino was a little difficult to navigate, but not all that bad. I can't say enough about the dealers and servers, all very helpful and polite. Beverage service while gambling was great. Found a coulple of the resturaunts in the shopping area to be great food values. A great $20 breakfgast for 2 at one place, and the cheeseburger place was another good find.
I'm sure I was a little naive even at 45 at what to expect, but for my first Vegas experience I would have to give it about a B-/C+. Would I stay there again? Maybe, because now I have a little better idea of what to expect.

Pros:
First rate service, nice casino
Cons:
Valet parking was bad
|
|
Check in was a breeze, check out was a little hectic though, but no big deal. The casino in this hotel is redone so it was bright and shiny and full of energy, which when you gamble, those things are known as "perks", the hotel was sort of low key and quiet, which was also nice. New updated furniture in the rooms with flat screen TV's, our bathroom was huge, my wife REALLY liked that perk, with 2 sinks a giant soaking tub and a separate shower and the view from our room was awesome. The staff was exceptionally good, going out of their way to appease you.

Pros:
vista room
Cons:
restaurants

This hotel is going thru a strange conversion from a Morrocan palace to some kind of generic hipster. Our vista room was great - soaking tub in the window of a large bathroom, large room, couch... Could use a refrigerator. Casino nice, but very confusing with carpet paths leading to nowhere. (Your lost after a few drinks!) No advertised restaurants opened, incl a Starbucks that is promoted everywhere! Only 1 (slow) place to eat near casino. Could never even find the buffet (probably closed as well). Shopping is the best in Vegas! Rooms should be discounted during renovations.
