Planet Hollywood Hotel?

Pscam10 · #1 05-31-2007, 01:21 PM

I'm heading to LV tomorrow morning for the weekend. My friend and I have a free room at Planet Hollywood. Has anyone been there? I'm looking for any opinions about the place as a whole (restaurants, bars, etc...), but especially the poker room.

I'm arriving about 6 hours before my buddy and plan to play a session of 1/2nl there while i'm waiting.

I appreciate any feedback...

I had been to the aladdin which is what it was before they changed to planet hollywood. In my opinion I found the place boring and the poker room empty.

I think the lack of traffic had to do with the fact you had to enter the hotel/casino via the garage underground. Very poor design.

Don't know that this helps but I got married there.

The Grinder is now the poker host for Planet Ho. Small room looking to get bigger I guess.

Commander's Palace is a great place for a nice meal. Not quite as good as the one in New Orleans, but still tasty.

It closed several months ago. Supposedly, it is "moving" but no new location has been announced AFAIK.

I have played at the new PH room once, and will not be returning. Problematic Parking, lack of autoshufflers, and low min/max on their NL game are the basic reasons. Nice room, though.

is this confirmed? I know he has been playing 100/point CP there recently, but I didn't know this is an official deal.

He confirmed on pokerwire radio yesterday

I have read very favourable reviews on the remodelled PH Hotel, and especially the poker room.

The daily tournaments are amongst the very best low buy-in events in town now, in terms of structure.

Tables have no autoshufflers however, which is a show-stopper for me.

WOW------
The Grinder......
I have to rush right out now to go play there.
Maybe he can do what DN could not do for the Wynn.

But Daniel didn't allow himself to be used in Wynn marketing and it wasn't discussed on their website, and he only played his HU challenge games there. Other than that, he was never to be found at the Wynn. There were some accusations that he was playing with the house money through a loophole, that Wynn invested in his company as a quid pro quo. Of course this was never proven, and would likely be legal even if it was true.

Just checked the PH site, there is no mention of the Grinder.
