Thank you Jordan
Great video Jordan. Planet Hollywood is one of my favorite Vegas hotels mainly because it is attached to the Miracle Mile Shops. Based on the video, the rooms seem to be in great condition & I like how there is a mini fridge that allows people to put in their own drinks, unlike MGM properties which have the ultra expensive mini bar instead. Lastly the location is excellent as it is easy to get to the LINQ, Caesars Palace, Paris, the Bellagio & the City Center properties from there.
They should turn the mezzanine level into a NonSmoking Slot section
That actually is a great idea. They need something up there for sure. There's a reason people have never heard of those restaurants, they're practically hiding them...
Nonsmoking above the smoking? Huuum
Currently there is nothing for nonsmoking so its better than nothing plus would be less pushback than if the main casino floor was flipped to nonsmoking and made the smokers go upstairs @@40mosher
They've got things on the mezz level. There's a spa, gym, ballrooms, they just got a long hallway.@@ShowMeVegas
That’s where all the conference rooms are in the hotel. They also use the big empty area for press conferences and bigger events
I stayed there in late 2001 when it was still the new Aladdin. Nice room with a view of the Strip and a bit of Bellagio’s fountains. Nice casino, decent restaurants and the Magic Mile shops attached. I only stayed there the one time but I visited every time I was in Vegas. It’s also in a very good location. A bit south of the center Strip and easy access to MGM Grand and other south Strip casinos. As I was a walker, the location made it very convenient; close enough to the action of center Strip but far enough south that there weren’t quite the crowds on the sidewalks.
Stayed there in 2018 for my bday. It actually one of my best Vegas stays and I've been to Vegas 13 times. Loved the location, food was decent and the middle of the strip. And I got it comped so that definitely helped out.
Excellent video as always! Love your style!
Thanks so much!
Excellent++ video Jordan - PH has been underrated since it was Aladdin and we have been enjoying it! Shhhhhhh...
Thanks for the review. I'll be at planet hollywood (fountain view room) for the first time in June! Can't wait to try out some of their restaurants.
Enjoyed the presentation as usual. I have never stayed at Planet Hollywood but will give it a try based on your recommendation. Thanks again for keeping us informed with a quality product!
Thanks as always for watching!
Amazing Video y’all!! I loved it. Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate it! Thanks so much for watching!
I liked when it was the Aladdin. The Miracle Mile shops are great and like you said, ABC store is great for grabbing a few things for your room. I think this property is so underrated.
Staying there in September! Can't wait. Love from ireland Jordan, thanks for the great videos ❤
Hope you have a great stay! Thanks for watching!
Every point you made in this video is spot on! I’m impressed with the condition of your Ultra Hip Room,: I stayed at PH about 8 years ago, not long after those rooms were introduced, and your room is still very nice! I had a Strip view room with a better view of the Bellagio fountains than from many rooms I’ve had at Bellagio. Those soaking tubs are awesome! Worth the price to get bath bombs at Lush, or cheaper ones at the Walgreens next door to PH, and just relax after a long day or night.
The PH casino is subpar, and almost every Caesars casino is dirty and smelly. Luckily Paris casino next door is nicer, Cosmopolitan is easily reached via a pedestrian bridge and Bellagio is now an easy walk with the new connection with Cosmopolitan.
One negative for me about PH is the atmosphere on the main sidewalk in front of the casino, especially at night. That area is too crowded and rowdy for me, and I don’t care for the endless drumming by the “performers.”
Overall, PH is one of the best value properties on the Strip, but I overall prefer Park MGM and NY-NY.
Definitely in the center strip, conveniently located inside the mall !Strip house is one of the best underrated steakhouses in Vegas must try!! This place is awesome -
great spot, great eats! can't beat the mini fridge
We enjoy n really like Planet Hollywood.last visit n previous stay.idk if coincidence or liked us for reason..we got the same room as in Dec.'22 again on 51st floor the Judge Dredd theme room.lol.didnt mind got good nice view of the strip n fountains again.👍
I've stayed at PH a few times and always had good experiences there. Location is awesome and the on-site amenities are great.
As you can see I was pleasantly surprised. The condition of the room was outstanding and of course the Miracle Mile is a huge plus.
PH is my favorite place to stay hands down for all the reasons you mentioned.
it's cool that you"re cartoon a few times in this vid!! Great stuff as always!!!
Always fun working with new effects! Thanks for watching!
Have seen Criss Angel a few times and going again on Sunday. I really like his magic and overall story. The ladder walk is phenomenal. Strip House is also very good. I recommend you try it!
PH is one of my favorite casinos in town (although I greatly miss the poker room since they closed it!). I remember when they did the complete renovation of the casino floor around 2008 or so; hard to believe it's been so long ago! lol.
The whole casino wraps around the Heart Bar (as you showed, now under renovation) and all of the table games surround the bar is a big circle. I love how all the massive columns throughout the casino change lighting all day long. The mezzanine is really weird, but it's a good place to take a break and do some people-watching from above. They often use that empty area up there for special events, poker tournaments, and (I think at least a few times) special slots challenges/events.
Thanks for this Jordan, I am staying at PH in June this year, the appeal was the reasonable pricing and it's mid strip location. I've read quite a few negative reviews on Tripadvisor but that mostly relates to automated check-in and lack of room cleaning, which give it a low quality feel.
By the way we saw Cris Angel at Luxor a few years ago and it was amazing, we saw him at PH and thought the show was solid but not spectacular.
I stay at PH every time I go to Vegas. The fridge in the room, the mall around it, and center strip is the best
Wonderful informative video as always. Thank you
How is the pool area at Planet Hollywood?
It's fair. Not one of the better on the strip, but not the worst either. It's not a destination pool but it will get the job done. Thanks for watching!
I go to Vegas quite often and ALWAYS stay at PH!!! The always clean, spacious rooms and convenience to EVERYTHING just can't be beat staying anywhere else!!!
I seen your video on the Luxor buffet , I did visit the casino twice. But did have the buffet at the Excalibur. Friends and I stayed, horribly I got sick after eating at the buffet. For 3 days I was in bad shape. And never ever went back again. Been going to Vegas since the 1980s. Had some bad and good. But anyways thanks for the videos 👍🏼👍🏼
Great video! We are MGM people but we’ve started to visit Caesar casinos more just for something different. PH is our favorite Caesar’s based on all the pros you mentioned!
We also are MGM people, but this was a surprisingly great stay! Thanks for watching!
I'm really curious what they are doing with the Heart Bar. That construction wrap comes all the way up to the upper level ceiling so I wonder if it will be multi-level?? That would be awesome! I like PH and have always felt it's the best bang for your buck on the strip and that location. They need to make changes if they plan to increase pricing, so all the piecemeal work going into it makes sense. Great video guys!
There used to be slots up on the mezzanine level (15 years or so ago). I enjoyed playing up there.
Somebody mentioned it would be a great place for a non-smoking slots area and we agree. Thanks for watching!
First off, I really enjoy your videos, and I used a lot of them as reference when picking a place to stay when I was there last month, and I went with Planet Hollywood! A couple of thoughts:
1. I did the "$20 trick" when checking in and was given a massive suite on the top (51st) floor and it was stunning. Totally worth it (I stayed from a Mon-Thurs). From what I could tell that room goes for $698/night normally. The interesting thing about the room is that every picture (and I counted, there were nine of them) was of Sylvester Stallone. 😄
2. I agree with the layout being confusing. I kept having to find the north elevators and while I thought I had visual markers it seemed like every time I went back to the hotel I was doing a circle around the casino to find the elevators.
3. One more con I would add is that I found the walls between the rooms to be thin. I was laying in bed one morning and I could hear the guy in the room next to me having a (very personal) phone conversation to the point I felt very awkward overhearing it. And it's not like he was yelling.
All that being said I found the location amazing and you're absolutely correct about the Miracle Mile shops being so handy connected to the hotel. I would stay here again.
Thanks for watching, and for you comments!
i agree jordan regarding the casino i been coming vegas 20 years and still have no idea how get out of the place and when i do i have no idea what part of boulevard im coming out to.only reason i go to PH now is gr burger or if i need a pee
It doesn't seem like it should be that hard, but yes, exactly. There are like 37 entrances and I don't ever know which one I'm using. Thanks as always for watching!
Saw Mind Freak June 2023. My wife and I loved it !
I'll be staying here in May looking forward to it
Enjoy! Thanks for watching!
Great video Jordan. I stayed at PH back in 2019 and liked it. I thought the room and the food options was the big draw for me.
Love the shirts throughout
Thank you sir!
I seen Chris Angel when he was at the luxor. This was when he had his t v show and he was like the biggest thing in magic. I really enjoyed the show and my wife, who was not a big fan was pleasantly surprised.
They used to have their big summer poker series at the Mezz. Good use of the space, but I dont think they will do it again.
Having Miracle Mile shops next to PH is a big plus
Indeed. For many reasons. Thanks as always for watching!
Stayed at ph in 2018 and conrad resorts world in 2024 I be doing ph again next time. Better service and fun crowd in casino
We have stayed at PH a lot. We love this hotel and the miricle mile shops. The casino is a bit confusing but I'm the person that gets lost anywhere.
Great video
Thanks for watching!
What about parking there? One reason I won’t stay at PH is their guest parking. You have to park at the mall and drag your suitcase the entire length of the mall to get to the casino, to check-in or get to your room. Sometimes the mall parking is very full and this walk can take 15 to 20 minutes just to get from your room to your car. I like the casino and it’s a great location but they need designated parking for hotel guests that doesn’t include a very long walk through the mall. I can’t tell you how pissed off you will get if you forget something in your car and have to walk back to it. Sometimes I think it may be closer to park at Paris and just cross the street to PH to avoid the long walk to the back of the mall where the parking garage is.
i love you long time mr vegas
I saw Jordan walking through the Miracle Mile when he was recording this video. He was nice enough to stop and say hello while I was eating breakfast at Earl of Sandwich. Love the videos.
It was great meeting you! Thanks as always for watching!
Staying there in a few weeks. cosmo wouldn't comp me so I and trying PH. last year I ate at oceans one. under $20 with tip fir bfast
i was there 3 nites for NYE - u missed Gordon Ramsey Burgers, Rosa Margaritas. Ask for a strip view or they will but u towards the back with an ugly view. agree on the layout - i was always walking around lost 😢 as smokey as the casino was jus glad the rooms were not! plus ur next door the Paris 🗼Hotel which has the monorail 🚝 towards the back.
I’ve stayed at:
- Mirage
- Flamingo
- MGM
- PH
And also done a lot of gaming at:
- Cosmo
- Aria
- Harrahs
- Wynn
- Paris
PH is my favorite. You can’t beat the location and price.
looks like they renovated the fitness center, looks very nice compared to before
This was was Well Done video!
Thanks so much!
How early did you check in? I arrive at noon
Nice review , although I hate Caesars properties . I usually avoid them because of comps are awful .I doubt that head board is leather , more likely vinyl . Lol .. looking forward to the next video .
Stayed there 4 nights in December, they never took out the trash in our room, never brought fresh towels, and by the last morning there was no hot water.
That's a bummer. Housekeeping is one area Caesars properties tend to struggle with. Thanks for watching!
Greetings! Hmmm so not gonna lie …I’m not a fan of almost all of Caesars properties except for Caesar’s Palace and Paris . I was surprised by the room . Better than I expected. I still won’t stay there and I rarely even pass through . Totally agree on the misused empty mezzanine space . Very fair review 😎😎😎
Thanks as always!
Nice insert on room size!!
8:26 remnants of the Aladdin. Wild how Vegas is ever evolving
Anyone know if there has ever been anything up on the mezzanine level? Had a convention at the PH 10-12 years ago and thought I had wandered into another dimension up there. Couldn’t imagine a strip resort with that large of a deserted space. Guess nothing’s changed.
There used to be slots up there
PH is my favorite Caesars property and id say easily the 2nd best Caesars property. As for the Cris Angel show way more theatrics than magic. Striphouse is great highly underrated imo compared to other Strip steakhouses.
defo number1 place if ur on a budget, want cheap eats at miracle miles, and be CENTER strip right accross from the famous bellagio fountains!..can't beat this hotel if u require what i said .. no joke, u can wok from hotel room to casino floor on 21st floor in less than a minute! 2mins to wok down to earl of sandwich for a early bite/coffee
Damn, i never thought about planet Hollywood honestly, its hard to beat out the Palazzo.
Use your ceasers rewards card for comp opportunities 😊
This room was discounted through Caesars Rewards.
I always like Planet Hollywood too. The craps dealers are great!!
So ok to visit, the room is good but go someplace else to avoid the smoke.
I stay at PH every time I go to LV
Jordan has the best t-shirts
Kind of my "thing". Thanks as always!
When was this ? Hopefully the carpet change is done.
This was early November, the week leading up to F1. The carpet change is complete, although I'm not sure about the Heart Bar. Thanks for watching!
They do conventios on the mezzanine level
Thanks, nice video of PH. small grip, not a fan of the cartoon filter.
GO BILLS!!!
🙄
Moving on… ✌🏻
@@ShowMeVegas ugggh
I have seen Criss Angel's show a few times and I really don't understand the poor reviews. I think he puts on a great show.
Interesting. The reviews have been so bad for so long we just haven't been brave enough to give it a shot. Thanks as always for watching!
The mezanene (empty first floor) just needs a huge arcade to dump the teenagers, while mom and dad have a beer and a bet. They could've done a deal with the Pinball Museum (which I think was at the Riviera before it closed) to bring their machines over, which would've filled the void and attracted families; but what do we know ... we're just the ones who go to these places. 😉
Surprised that left the gym/spa area still looking like the Aladdin
That shows Caesars Entertainment's commitment to keeping their properties up-to-date... Thanks for watching!
Having a refrigerator in a 100+ degree weather is priceless
I heard "Heart Bar" will be "Glass Bar" next...because its hard to name things...😂
Why does the art above the bed look like milli vanilli?
Stayed there once August 2019 a good stay not a great stay when I stay there again maybe I’m with you Jordan I don’t like the casino no good restaurants to speak of. You can do better in Las Vegas than planet Hollywood.
Does this hotel have a sphere view
There are likely some rooms on the backside of the building that have a Sphere view but it doesn’t appear they advertise any “Sphere view” room categories.
It's still a Caesars property and you were lucky, our check in experience and interactions have always sucked. We bailed and switched to Vdara, look up at the ceiling in the rooms and you'll run away.
Love Caesars properties so you know shut the f******😂
Too bad you didn't show the pool, it's why I watched!
It was a November stay and released in February. The pool is closed for the season, sorry!
wait in the beginning you said 2023, did you mean 2024?
It was filmed in November, 2023. Figured at the time we'd get the video out before the end of the year but it didn't turn out that way. Thanks for watching!
Is Britney Spears ever going back to PH?
Something tells me she's not going to be performing ANYWHERE anytime soon. Either way, her contract with PH is long since over. Thanks for watching!
When was this filmed? Seems pretty dated.
November 2023. Barely more than 2 months ago.
That empty mezzanine level is hilarious! What a massive waste of space.
18 minute video and you don't review the pool complex?
It was a winter stay. It was briefly discussed but how am I gonna review it while it’s closed?
You could interject some stock photos and/or videos, speak about the pool amenities, cabana rentals, food/drink options, etc.
@@ShowMeVegas
making you watch whole magic spoon ad really put a damper on this otherwise good review video
You certainly had the option to fast forward through it. There’s nothing preventing that…
3 pillows is a no go for me 🙅♂️
Idk why, it just makes the place feel like a money grubbing corporation and not hospitable.
A fourth pillow was in the armoire.
Don't walk away from Criss Angel Mindfreak RUN. It was one of the worst shows we ever have seen. Criss pretty much mails it in and uses special effects to cover up his lack of ability to do magic.
Sounds a bit like another magician performing in Vegas... Thanks for watching!
Tom Brady for president
???
Kiosks 👎 Human customer service 👍
Chris angel show is to scripted and only like 2 or 3 actual magic tricks. 👎👎👎
Awesome on paid sponsor! “ Magic Spoon”!!👍🏽🫡
