Writing this review as someone that has never stayed at Planet Hollywood. I tried to stay there, however the room pricing was too high for what was offered (I got a suite at Mandalay Bay for cheaper then I could have gotten a 'deluxe' room at PH). My recent experience at Planet Hollywood made me happy I found another place to stay...\n\nLast Friday night I went to see Tool at the Theater for the Performing Arts inside Planet Hollywood. Our tickets said the show started at 8 pm. At 8:45 I was still standing in line outside the venue. We missed the opening band completely. While the Theater of the Performing Arts is a fairly small venue (seats around 7,000), it clearly needed either an additional entrance, more security working, or both to handle the flow of people. \n\nTool is a fabulous band so we still had a great time at the show. The sound in the Theater was good, however I'd still prefer to see a show at the Pearl at the Palms any day. \n\nAfter the show we needed to catch a cab back to Mandalay Bay. Most casinos have lines of cabs waiting to pick people up and whisk them away to any destination on the Strip they want. Not Planet Hollywood. The only cabs I saw coming were cabs that were dropping people off, and there was not many of them. July nights in Vegas are still hot, and waiting 45 minutes to an hour in line to catch a cab is not pleasant. \n\nThe only thing that will bring me back to Planet Hollywood (other then a concert) is the shopping, and the Miracle Mile Shops have their own listing so I can't even give PH a star back for that!
