Planet Hollywood Las Vegas Friday night may 2026

Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, located at 3667 Las Vegas Boulevard South, is a vibrant, Hollywood-themed property situated in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. Owned and operated by Caesars Entertainment, this 4-star spa resort seamlessly blends the glitz and glamour of Tinseltown with the excitement of a world-class casino, offering guests an immersive experience that makes them feel like A-list celebrities. With its central location, modern amenities, and diverse entertainment options, it’s a standout destination for travelers seeking a lively, star-worthy stay.
The resort’s history traces back to its origins as the Aladdin, an Arabian-themed hotel and casino that operated until 1997. Real estate developer Jack Sommer demolished the original structure in 1998, partnering with London Clubs International to build a new Aladdin, which opened on August 18, 2000. However, financial struggles led to a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in September 2001, exacerbated by the September 11 attacks. In 2004, Planet Hollywood International and Starwood Hotels acquired the property for $635 million, embarking on a renovation to rebrand it as Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, a transformation completed in 2007. While the Arabian theme was largely removed, some elements persist in the adjacent Miracle Mile Shops, a 475,000-square-foot mall with 170 tenants.
The property boasts 2,494 guest rooms and suites, each designed with contemporary elegance and a nod to Hollywood. Rooms feature bold décor, luxury bedding, spacious bathrooms, and 42-inch plasma-screen TVs, often adorned with one-of-a-kind movie memorabilia to enhance the cinematic vibe. Options range from standard rooms to massive suites with dazzling center-Strip views, some including extras like swing sofas or oversized soaking tubs. High-speed WiFi (included in the resort fee) and flat-screen TVs ensure modern comfort. Guests consistently praise the clean, spacious rooms and comfy beds, with couples rating the location a 9.2 for two-person trips. A $54.95 daily resort fee (plus tax, payable locally) covers fitness center admission for two, in-room internet for two devices, and local calls.
The 64,470-square-foot casino is a high-energy hub, offering themed slot machines, popular card games, and interactive table games. Guests can join fantasy sports contests or place bets at the Caesars Race & Sportsbook on events like boxing, football, and horse racing, with big-screen TVs keeping the action in view. Beyond gaming, the resort features PH Live, a 7,000-seat entertainment venue hosting world-class performers and movie premieres, such as Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) and The Expendables (2010). The property has also appeared in films like 21 (2008) and What Happens in Vegas (2008), cementing its Hollywood connection.
Dining is a highlight, with nine on-site restaurants catering to diverse tastes. Gordon Ramsay Burger, by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, serves casual American fare, while Strip House offers classic steaks and Koi delivers Japanese cuisine. Pink’s Hot Dogs, a Las Vegas staple since 2005, dishes up American hot dog specialties, and the Spice Market Buffet provides a variety of options. Additional casual dining, lounges, and a poolside bar ensure guests never go hungry. The Miracle Mile Shops, directly connected, add 15 more restaurants and over 170 upscale stores, perfect for shopping sprees.
Relaxation and recreation abound with two seasonal outdoor pools (open 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM) and hot tubs overlooking the Strip, complete with cabanas for rent (surcharge applies). The Scene Pool Deck includes the innovative FlowRider®, Las Vegas’ only freestanding wave rider. Reflections, The Spa at Planet Hollywood, spans 32,000 square feet, offering massages, detox treatments, a hair and nail salon, hot tubs, saunas, and a fitness center. Evening entertainment, from music to comedy, keeps the Hollywood energy alive.
The resort’s prime location—steps from the Fountains of Bellagio (0.3 miles) and The Cosmopolitan Casino—earns a 9.3 location score. The Las Vegas Convention Center is an 8-minute drive, and Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) is 10 minutes away. With 88,000 square feet of event space, including 18 meeting rooms for up to 7,000 guests, it’s ideal for conferences or weddings at The Chapel at Planet Hollywood.
Pet-friendly and open 24/7, Planet Hollywood delivers a PHabulous™ getaway. While some note long check-in waits or pricey dining, guests laud the central location, clean rooms, and value, making it a top pick for a star-studded Las Vegas adventure.
