Planet Hollywood

About this item

With a veneer of Hollywood glitz, Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino is home to multiple headliners and the Miracle Mile Shops as well as a slew of cool restaurants and rockin' bars. The vibe: Hollywood reborn in Sin City, a dazzling disco-lit world, middle of the road What we love: From the moment you arrive, you'll feel the energy. As you descend the escalator into the lobby, you're greeted by dazzling chandeliers, a sparkling crystal centerpiece, and vibrant LED lights that shift in color behind the front desk. It’s a scene that channels the glamor and excitement of a modern-day disco—think “Saturday Night Fever,” but with a sleek, contemporary twist. For thrill-seekers, the FlowRider Wave-in-a-Box Double at Planet Hollywood is a must-try. As the first of its kind on the Strip, it offers the perfect chance to catch a wave or show off your kickflip skills—right in the heart of Vegas. It’s a totally rad experience that brings the beach to the boulevard. And when it’s time to catch a show, the Zappos Theater delivers. This retrofitted venue has been transformed into one of the city’s premier concert destinations. With a massive LED wall, a powerful sound system, and a lively dance floor, every performance becomes a full-on sensory celebration. Big-name headliners and unforgettable vibes make this a can’t-miss stop on your Vegas adventure. Insider tips: Craving a serious slice of pizza? Head to Pin-Up Pizza, right along the Strip-facing side of the resort. Their pies are massive—each one stretches 30 inches across, which means every slice is a whopping 15 inches long and 6 inches wide. It’s the biggest slice on the Strip, and it’s as delicious as it is impressive. Looking for a gaming experience with a little extra flair? The Pleasure Pit on the casino floor brings the energy with live go-go dancers, upbeat music, and a playful vibe. Whether you're dealt in by glamorous ladies or chiseled gentlemen, you’ll find 11 tables offering games like blackjack, three-card poker, roulette, and Big Six—all in a lively, high-energy setting. And just steps from the front entrance, the Extra Lounge still carries a bit of Hollywood sparkle. Once known as the Vegas hangout for the crew of NBC’s Extra (yes, including Mario Lopez), it remains a stylish spot to grab a drink, people-watch, and soak in the scene. Whether or not the cameras are rolling, it’s a great place to kick off your night. Good to know: Planet Hollywood's rooms still offer solid comfort and value—especially given the unbeatable center-Strip location. Originally opened in 2007 (and before that, the “new” Aladdin in 2000), the resort has seen some wear, but it continues to deliver a fun, energetic Vegas experience. Standard rooms don’t include coffee makers or mini-fridges, but they do feature 42-inch plasma TVs for your entertainment. If you're looking for more in-room amenities like kitchen space, upgrading to a suite is a great option and well worth the splurge. The casino is alive with energy—expect high-volume music and a party atmosphere that never really stops. It’s all part of the resort’s lively vibe, perfect for those who want to stay in the heart of the action. Getting to the lobby from the self-parking garage can be a bit of a trek, involving a few escalators and a stroll through the Miracle Mile Shops. But here’s a pro tip: drop off your travel companions at the front entrance to check in, then take your time parking and maybe even grab a drink along the way. By the time you reconnect, you’ll be ready to toast to your Vegas adventure.
