"The Miracle Mile Shops anchor and Britney Spears' former home — a mid-tier Strip property with a surprisingly good location and a lively casino."
Overall Rating
Planet Hollywood is a solid mid-tier Strip property with a great location at the center of the Strip, directly connected to the Miracle Mile Shops. The rooms are modern and well-maintained. The casino is lively. The Zappos Theater hosts major residencies.
Direct access to Miracle Mile Shops means you can shop, eat, and walk to half the Strip without going outside.
Check the Zappos Theater calendar before booking. If a major artist is in residence, the hotel energy is electric.
The rooms are modern and reasonably sized. The Luxury rooms have been renovated and are a solid value for the location. Views from upper floors are excellent.
Two outdoor pools on the 25th floor. Solid pool experience with good views. Not as impressive as Cosmo or Bellagio, but a legitimate pool.
How this resort holds up in peak Vegas summer (June–September)
The Miracle Mile Shops provide extensive air-conditioned coverage — one of the better indoor mall connections on the Strip. The pool is functional but not a summer destination. The Zappos Theater shows are a good evening activity when it's still 95°F outside.
Originally opened as the Aladdin in 1966, rebuilt and reopened in 2000. Acquired by Caesars Entertainment and rebranded as Planet Hollywood in 2010.
Mid-range travelers who want a true Center Strip location without paying Bellagio or Cosmo prices. Concert-goers attending Zappos Theater shows.
Lounge and bar adjacent to Zappos Theater. Good for pre-show drinks.

Planet Hollywood is a reliable mid-tier Strip choice. The location is excellent, the rooms are solid, and the Zappos Theater connection is a bonus. Not a luxury experience, but a good value for the address.

The Strip's cool kid. Best dining collection in Vegas, the only balconies on the boulevard, and a casino floor that was literally designed to keep you from gambling.
The fountains are the reason Vegas exists. The rest of the resort is trying to live up to them — and mostly succeeding.
Vegas's most famous resort is also its most confusing to navigate. The toga party ended in 1990. The labyrinthine casino floor never did.
