Planet Hollywood Las Vegas

Planet Hollywood Las Vegas, formerly the Aladdin Hotel, has had a make-over and competes with nearby hotels for guests, diners, shoppers and gamblers. The look is a blend of Las Vegas glitz and Hollywood glamour. PH, as it's known, spent $120 million renovating and removing the previous middle-Eastern theme for a new sleek look.

It is centrally located on the Strip next door to the Paris Hotel and across the street from the Bellagio. You couldn't find a better location in Las Vegas. Hotels like Bally's, Caesar's Palace and the Flamingo to the north are within easy walking distance. To the south, you can walk to the Monte Carlo Hotel and the MGM Grand. PH has a new driveway on Harmon so you can enter the self-park or the valet park off the Strip.

Planet Hollywood Las Vegas also boasts a brand new entrance to the casino on the Strip. Customers walking on the Boulevard used to have a hard time finding the front door to the Aladdin Casino. With large overhead video screens and 'Casino Entrance' in bright lights, you can't miss it now. There's also a separate entrance to the 100 plus stores and 15 restaurants in the Miracle Mile Shops.

You'll find large round tubs in the bathrooms. Internet access is available for a fee. Sponsors on this page have great deals for you.
