Honest review of Planet Hollywood

My hubby and I are planning another trip to vegas and want an honest review of the new planet hollywood. We%26#39;ve stayed at the Monte Carlo, MGM, Ballys and Imperial Palace so we have definately experienced a wide range of hotels. But we would prefer something a little nicer, with alot of amenities. Should we stay here or go back to our favorite, the monte carlo?



Honest review of Planet Hollywood


My husband and I had the same dilemma when we were deciding on which hotel to choose...do you go to a new hotel or back to the Monte Carlo since we had a good experience there. So we checked rates at just about all the hotels for the week we wanted and Monte came out on top with being the best price. So we figured that we know we like it and my husband loves the pool area at Monte, and how much time are you really in your room anyway so we decided after about a week and a half to go back to Monte Carlo.





Hope that helps. Good luck.



Honest review of Planet Hollywood


Were you thinking you may get a dishonest PH review here? We have all taken polygraphs and signed affidavits of truthivity. Any violators will forfeit their TA hats, T-shirts, plastic baggies and luggage tags. So you see there is no danger of getting prevaracatory information. I haven%26#39;t been to the PH since the redo but loved the Original Alladin in the 80%26#39;s, for what it%26#39;s worth.




I was there in Sept 07 and did a review...if interested in reading it, it%26#39;s available under ';search';....btw it was honest and positve or... they are real and fantastic!




i think everyone%26#39;s reviews are likely honest...



but everyone%26#39;s reality is different.




The two big changes since the aladdin was converted that I strongly dislike are the LOUD music in the casino and the comps were tightened way too much. no more free rooms, no $59 rooms unless you are approaching high roller status.






if a pool is important to you, the one at PH is rather sterile....IP%26#39;s is nicer




i stay at planet hollywood often (and when it was aladdin). probably 12 times in the last five years. the comps have tightened, in my opinion, but i do still get free room offers, and i am NOT a high roller. i do like the loud music in the casino. to me, the casino ';vibe'; is positive, fun and enjoyable. their poker room is perfect for me. big enough to attract plently of games, yet small enough that the dealers remember you. i really like the new place. the pool area is a bit lame compared to other places, but i gamble more than swim, so it doesn%26#39;t bother me. it is very conveniently located on the strip. i do think the monte carlo is a better ';bargain'; though. so if you do need to really watch the pocketbook, i bet you would get more over there.




We didn%26#39;t stay there but we went into the casino in January. It was our first time at that hotel and we were very impressed. It is really nice and I don%26#39;t remember the music being too loud but I do remember it being good music. From what we saw, we really liked it, nice and roomy, clean, we just got a good feeling about it. I would try it if I were you!




We did not stay there, but we did gamble there. As gamblers (not high rollers) we were not impressed. We like to gamble where we stay to optimize whatever we can get out of the property. We decided to check out the ';new'; Planet Ho last September. I don%26#39;t remember loud music, but waiting for drink service was like waiting for a snail to go a mile. That kept us from wanting to go back. If I%26#39;m gambling, I at least want a free drink! I really don%26#39;t expect to win, but I like the thrills. Although the theme was cool and they have great shows there. We just like to opt for pocket friendly places so we can save the rest for gambling.
