Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino Las Vegas is a lively central-Strip casino hotel with Caesars Sportsbook, major entertainment, and attached Miracle Mile Shops. I think its strongest selling point is convenience: gambling, meals, shopping, and shows can all fit into the same outing. The trade-off is an entertainment-led atmosphere rather than a quiet retreat, plus substantial walking within the complex. It is best suited to couples and groups planning an active Strip trip.

Location and atmosphere
Planet Hollywood sits on the east side of the Strip, beside Paris and across from the Bellagio area. That is a useful address if you plan to visit several central-Strip resorts rather than spend the entire trip at one property.
The mood is bright, contemporary, and social. Casino activity, bars, concerts, and shopping define the place more than the Hollywood name. I would choose it as an active Strip base, not for a weekend wandering through a movie museum.
The attached Miracle Mile Shops broaden the dining and entertainment choices and provide an indoor alternative when another walk in the desert heat loses its charm.
There is a bit of old Las Vegas beneath the modern presentation: Planet Hollywood occupies the former Aladdin site, where Elvis Presley and Priscilla were married in 1967. That is interesting historical context, not a description of today’s resort.
Casino floor and games
This is a substantial casino, not a small hotel gaming area. The official overview describes more than 100,000 square feet of gaming. The February 2025 fact sheet describes nearly three acres and lists 80 table games, a published inventory rather than a promise of 80 staffed tables when you arrive.
The PHamous Pleasure Pit pairs blackjack and roulette with go-go dancers. Some players will enjoy the extra energy; others would rather have fewer distractions. It is worth knowing which sort of casino evening you want.
Slots and video poker
The property fact sheet describes thousands of slot machines without providing a precise inventory. There is ample machine gaming to browse, but I would not choose a casino on a promotional machine count alone.
Check the denomination, credits per spin, feature eligibility, and displayed total wager before playing. A penny machine can produce a decidedly non-penny bet once multiple lines and extra features are involved.
For video poker, compare the paytable on the specific machine. Machines with the same game name can offer different payouts, and stories about a casino being “hot” or “tight” do not establish its payout rates.
Table games
Blackjack and roulette are specifically identified in the Pleasure Pit description. Walk the floor to compare the broader selection, posted rules, and current limits before buying chips.
At blackjack, check the blackjack payout and other posted conditions. At roulette, check the number of zero pockets. Those details matter more to the cost of play than an attractive table or entertaining crowd. Minimum bets and open tables can change with demand.
Poker room
Planet Hollywood has no dedicated player-versus-player poker room. Video poker and house-banked poker-style games are not substitutes for cash games or tournaments against other players.
Caesars Sportsbook
Planet Hollywood has an on-property Caesars Sportsbook. The property’s dining information places Ringer Wings, Pizza & Sliders beside the viewing area, giving a mixed group another option without leaving the resort.
For a major game, ask about seating, hours, and reservation requirements. Being able to place a bet and getting a comfortable seat for the event are two different things.
Hotel rooms and upgrades
The detailed property fact sheet lists 2,496 rooms and suites, including 231 suites. Categories range from Ultra Hip and Ultra Resort rooms to Strip, Panorama, Boulevard, and Apex suites.
Having a room upstairs makes it easier to break up a day of shopping, shows, meals, and casino play. Whether that convenience is worth the price depends on the complete booking cost, not simply the room category’s name.
Room-size comparison: space, layout, and views
Our comparison uses published room descriptions from the February 2025 property fact sheet, not measurements of individual rooms. It separates three upgrade benefits: extra space, a more useful seating layout, and a particular view.
Gamboool original analysis
We assembled the comparison below from published information and our calculations. These are selected examples, rather than measured gambling sessions or a representative survey.
| Detail | Published information |
|---|---|
| Planet Hollywood Ultra Hip Room: Published floor area and in-room amenities, February 2025 fact sheet | 450 square feet, with a mini-refrigerator and coffee maker. |
| Planet Hollywood Ultra Hip Room: Bathroom and fountain-view distinction, February 2025 fact sheet | A separate shower and soaking tub are described; premium fountain views are limited to select rooms. |
| Planet Hollywood Ultra Resort Room: Published floor area and view, February 2025 fact sheet | 585 square feet, with Strip-view picture windows and an executive work desk. |
| Planet Hollywood Ultra Hip Strip Suite: Published floor area and seating layout, February 2025 fact sheet | 850 square feet; the suite description includes a separate seating area rather than only additional floor space. |
| Planet Hollywood Panorama Suite: Published floor area, view, and bedroom upgrade, February 2025 fact sheet | 1,200 square feet, with stated 180-degree Strip views; two-bedroom upgrades are available. |
| Planet Hollywood self-parking: Rewards-tier eligibility versus Nevada-local eligibility; support page updated May 19, 2023 | Platinum, Diamond, and Seven Stars members qualify for complimentary self-parking; Nevada-local status alone does not qualify. |
| Planet Hollywood parking: Event-rate and hotel-guest billing policies; support page updated May 19, 2023 | Special event rates may apply, and hotel guests must have parking fees billed to their room before checkout. |
| Planet Hollywood garage arrival: Luggage-drop alternative to carrying bags through the mall; support page updated May 19, 2023 | The property recommends dropping luggage at the valet bell desk before self-parking. |
| Planet Hollywood parking garage: Vehicle-height restriction; support page updated May 19, 2023 | Published garage clearance is 6 feet, 8 inches. |
| Calculation | Result | Takeaway |
|---|---|---|
| Ultra Resort Room versus Ultra Hip Room: additional published space | 135 square feet | Use the additional published space to assess an Ultra Resort upgrade, but compare the actual booking surcharge separately; floor area alone does not establish value. |
| Ultra Hip Strip Suite versus Ultra Hip Room: additional published space | 400 square feet | The Strip Suite offers more published space than the entry-level Ultra Hip category. Consider whether you will use that space before paying the date-specific upgrade charge. |
| Panorama Suite versus Ultra Hip Strip Suite: additional published space | 350 square feet | Compare the Panorama category’s extra space and stated view with the Strip Suite rather than treating all suite upgrades as interchangeable. |
Method: Published inputs collected 2026-10-14. Illustrative assumptions are labeled, and the full calculation inputs remain in the saved research record. These examples support planning; they do not predict a particular session.
- Ultra Resort Room versus Ultra Hip Room: The published sizes are 585 and 450 square feet, respectively, a difference of 135 square feet. I see this as a space upgrade first; the extra area alone does not establish value.
- Ultra Hip Strip Suite versus Ultra Hip Room: The 850-square-foot suite adds 400 square feet and a described separate seating area. That layout can matter more than the raw size if you want to relax together without everyone sitting on a bed.
- Panorama Suite versus Ultra Hip Strip Suite: The 1,200-square-foot Panorama Suite adds 350 square feet and advertises 180-degree Strip views. Compare that combination with the actual upgrade price rather than treating all suites as interchangeable.
My rule is simple: pay for the feature you will use. A couple wanting a fountain view may enjoy the right view category more than a larger room looking elsewhere.
Fountain views and room requests
The Ultra Hip description says select rooms offer a premium fountain view. “Select” matters. Book a category specifying the outlook you want; a general Strip view and a fountain view are not necessarily the same purchase.
If quiet matters, discuss room location with the hotel and request a room away from elevators. Requests are not guarantees, and an active central-Strip resort is still an active central-Strip resort.
Resort fees and total booking costs
Planet Hollywood charges a nightly resort fee in addition to the room rate, with applicable taxes. Check your itemized reservation for the fee, its inclusions, and any booking-specific exemption.
Compare hotels using the complete stay cost: room charges, resort fees, taxes, parking, and planned extras. A tempting headline rate can lose its appeal once the rest of the bill arrives.
Also check the hotel name on your reservation. Nearby Elara is a separate hotel connected to the Miracle Mile complex, not another Planet Hollywood room category.
Restaurants, bars, and Miracle Mile Shops
Dining flexibility is one of Planet Hollywood’s strongest advantages. You can plan a proper dinner without committing to that kind of meal every time someone gets hungry.
- Gordon Ramsay Burger: Sit-down burgers with the celebrity-chef name.
- Strip House: The steakhouse option for a planned dinner.
- Caramella: An Italian restaurant and lounge whose official description includes pastas, Tuscan-style meats, and a Strip-facing terrace.
- Café Hollywood: A broad-menu option for groups with different tastes.
- Earl of Sandwich: Counter-service sandwiches.
- Pin-Up Pizza: Pizza near the Strip frontage.
The attached Miracle Mile Shops expand those choices. Our guide to cheap breakfast on the Las Vegas Strip offers more ideas for controlling morning costs. Check current menus and hours before planning around a particular deal.
For a Monday dinner, Las Vegas Magazine reported in March 2026 that Caramella offers Nonna’s Dinner Menu, including lasagna Bolognese, spaghetti and meatballs, and Sicilian cannoli. Confirm that it is still available for your dates.
Listed bars include Glass Bar, Blue Moon Bar, EXTRA Lounge, and Purple Zebra. Glass Bar sits on the casino floor near PH Live, making it a practical pre-show meeting point.
Do not assume every business in the shopping complex accepts casino rewards or hotel-room charges. Ask at the outlet you intend to use.
Entertainment, pools, and spa
PH Live hosts concerts, resident headliners, and touring performances. Criss Angel MINDFREAK is another major resort offering. Check the calendar for your dates rather than assuming an advertised performer will appear during your stay.
Caesars’ February 2026 pool announcement describes two rooftop pools with Strip views at the Scene Pool Deck. Reflections the Spa includes treatment facilities and a fitness center. Confirm seasonal pool operation, access rules, and optional charges if these amenities are central to your booking.
The shopping complex also offers a free indoor Rain Show, described by Miracle Mile Shops as a simulated thunderstorm using sound, lighting, and special effects. It is an easy shopping-break diversion, not a reason to plan an entire evening around the mall.
I would put entertainment and shopping ahead of the pool as reasons to stay here. The appeal is having plenty going on nearby, not feeling removed from Las Vegas.
Parking, arrival, and getting around
Drop luggage before self-parking
Self-parking and valet are available on-site. The property’s parking guidance recommends dropping luggage at the valet bell desk before parking in the garage, avoiding a bag-laden walk through the mall to registration.
An attached garage does not necessarily mean a short luggage haul. I would take this advice seriously with several bags or a traveling companion who finds long walks difficult.
The parking support page, updated May 19, 2023, lists garage clearance at 6 feet, 8 inches. Confirm suitable parking before arriving in a tall vehicle.
Parking charges and exemptions
The same guidance lists complimentary self-parking for Platinum, Diamond, and Seven Stars Caesars Rewards members. It states that Nevada-local status alone does not qualify and that special-event rates may apply. Confirm current terms before relying on an exemption.
Include parking in the cost of a short casino visit. Overnight guests should ask how parking is billed and whether their booking includes in-and-out privileges.
Transportation and accessibility
Harry Reid International Airport is the main airport for a Planet Hollywood stay. A taxi or rideshare is practical for many visitors with luggage; traffic and pickup arrangements affect the journey.
The central-Strip location makes several outings possible on foot. Allow time for pedestrian bridges, intersections, and the walk from a casino entrance to your destination inside.
If you need an accessible room, specify the required features and ask about routes from parking or drop-off to registration, restaurants, and entertainment. A suitable room and an easy journey through a large resort are separate considerations.
You must be at least 21 to gamble. Bring valid identification, and set your gambling budget before playing.
Caesars Rewards
Planet Hollywood participates in Caesars Rewards, which can be useful on a trip involving several Caesars properties. Benefits and eligibility depend on current program rules.
The published self-parking exemption for qualifying tiers is a practical benefit. Confirm other benefits and qualifying purchases separately, particularly inside Miracle Mile Shops. I would treat rewards as an extra, not a reason to increase the gambling budget.
Main strengths and limitations
- Central location, substantial walking: The address is convenient, but the garage, shops, casino, and hotel cover plenty of ground.
- Varied dining, different payment policies: Groups have options, but rewards and room-charge arrangements are not uniform.
- Entertainment, not seclusion: Concerts, bars, and an animated casino suit an active trip better than a quiet getaway.
- Room choice, not automatic value: Larger categories offer identifiable benefits, but the total booking price still matters.
Who should choose Planet Hollywood?
I would shortlist Planet Hollywood for couples and groups wanting a central-Strip base with casino play, concerts, varied dining, and shopping close together. Its attached Miracle Mile Shops and broad room selection suit an active itinerary, although convenience still involves walking, particularly from the garage. Visitors prioritizing a quiet retreat or a short car-to-room route should choose another property, while budget-minded travelers should compare complete booking and parking costs before deciding.
Frequently asked questions
Is Planet Hollywood on the Las Vegas Strip?
Yes. It is at 3667 Las Vegas Boulevard South, on the east side of the central Strip.
Does Planet Hollywood have a poker room or sportsbook?
It has no dedicated player-versus-player poker room. It does have an on-property Caesars Sportsbook.
How many hotel rooms does Planet Hollywood have?
The detailed property fact sheet lists 2,496 rooms and suites. The official overview rounds this to approximately 2,500.
Can you book a fountain-view room?
Select rooms are described as offering a premium fountain view. Choose a category specifying that view rather than assuming it comes with any Strip-facing room.
