Planet Hollywood is right in the middle- location, quality, amenities, dining. It's all pretty much middle of the road. It's nothing to rave about, yet I don't know that there's anything to really complain about. I loved its location on the strip, which puts you in a very convenient position to reach most anything of note in a short walk. \n\nI had unexpectedly been offered a free rental vehicle and parked in the garage. I never drove it again until departure, and I was glad for that. The walk from the garage to check-in is ludicrous. Winding through the Miracle Mile Shops with luggage in tow was an annoyance, to say the least. Not to mention the inherent difficulties of the property floor plan itself, which had me twisted for the entire stay. \n\nThe room was booked for me and I chose to upgrade to a larger room with a view- which is something I'll always do in Vegas. It was a great choice because I was given an excellent end of hall panoramic of the Paris balloon and tower next door and The Bellagio fountains across, and I couldn't watch them enough. Room 2038 was an Independence Day film theme and, although not luxurious, was very adequate and sufficiently tidy. The king bed allowed a great reclined view up the strip. The tv was oddly placed to the side of the bed. I turned the chairs at the window to enjoy a beverage and the view often throughout the stay. In consideration of the huge variances of room rates along the strip, I feel that I paid a very fair rate for the quality of the experience. I briefly negotiated the upgrade and felt that it was fair, as well.\n\nAgain, the floor plan had me wandering far more than I wanted just to find my way out or about. I've stayed in probably a dozen different Vegas properties and usually have my bearings by the second day- not here. The dining choices offered a nice variety. Planet Dailies was a waste for both food and service. I wasn't crazy about the buffet and it seemed that I was probably not alone in that opinion. The food quality and selection were adequate and there was never a line.\n\nI walked everywhere during my stay and, again, for that I really appreciated the location. \n\nOn my nickel, I'll usually stay at Bellagio. But, if I were to find myself in position to have to consider Planet Hollywood again, I would be fine staying there.
