Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino may have a Los Angeles theme, but the experience here is pure Las Vegas. The interior has a young, hip atmosphere with a chic, upbeat setting. The glitzy, nightclub-like casino features 100,000 square feet of gaming space with more than 90 gaming tables; 2,800 slots; a poker room with daily tournaments; and, for serious gamblers, a high-limit gambling room, while the rest of the hotel provides big winners with plenty of ways to spend their money. The Miracle Mile offers one of the best shopping experiences in the city, with 170 shops that include some of the most exclusive names in fashion. Mandara Spa can undo the stress of an all-night gambling spree with its selection of relaxing massages, facials, aroma stone therapies, and body wraps. After a busy day, guests retire to luxurious rooms fit for a movie star; the spacious rooms feature deluxe amenities like marble baths with separate showers and tubs and 27” televisions. For a night away from the gambling table, guests can head to one of the hotel’s many restaurants, which run the gamut from formal dining on Japanese, Italian, and steakhouse cuisines to bars and lounges, or take in a show at the Stomp Out Loud or V theatres.
