Planet Hollywood Resort
Standing tall on the site of the former Aladdin Resort is the
new and improved Planet Hollywood Resort Las Vegas, one of the most magical
and mesmerizing hotels on the Strip. In 1998, a tired and outdated Aladdin
Casino was imploded and rebuilt, and quickly became one of the most expensive
projects Vegas had seen. All the expense resulted in an enormous debt,
however, and by the end of 2006 the resort had new owners and became the
Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino. The magically themed rooms remain
the same. One thing guests of the Planet Hollywood Resort Las Vegas can
be sure of: with faucets shaped like genie lamps and real Moroccan tile
work covering much of the hotel interior, the Planet Hollywood Resort
in Las Vegas is and will continue to be a sultry escape.
