Aladdin Hotel & Casino

The rooms are very nice for the price that I got the hotel for. $50 a night on Weds and Thurs. It was being renovated and being converted to Planet Hollywood. There wasn't big construction going on but the front of Desert Passage had walls up to shield the construction. Check in was a pain to find as it was located up on the 2nd floor and the area was tiny. Valet is definately the way to go.

The room was large, it had a chair, armoire, table, and a writing desk with two queen beds. (Or was it full?) The bathroom had a tub, large vanity counter, seperate toilet in a room, and a stand in shower all enclosed within its own room with double doors. How many other hotels offer that? The room was cleaned in the morning with fresh towels, bottled water, and remade beds. I would definately come here again to stay with the price that I paid, it was unbelievable.

The location was a big plus also. Right in the middle of the Strip and walking distance to all other major resorts. The Bellagio, Paris, etc. The Spice Market buffet was absolutely delicious also.

Given the cost, the rooms are quite spacious - enough room for a couch. The hotel is under construction...I think as it turns into a Planet Hollywood property (didn't they realize that the restaurant concept didn't work?). So the hotel is a little bit of a mess and there are all of these strange open spaces.

Generally, the facilities are fine with decent restaurants and things like that. There were tons of advertisements about Pink's hot dogs, and the hotel made it seem like there was a real Pink's there... But it was really just Pink's hot dogs at the hotel cafe; it just wasn't quite the same...

If I had a genie, I'd wish for a tacky hotel too...

Okay, it's not really tacky. It's probably the third nicest theme hotel on the Strip that I can think of (actually, there are only three themed hotels on the Strip that I can think of ). The first two being The Venetian and Paris. You could also include Caesar's and Luxor, but they're hardly an experience. Aladdin is closer to the latter in that the surroundings are themed, but the stores are not.

They have an ABC Store here! Anything from Hawaii is awesome.

I heard they were planning to redo this place into a Planet Hollywood hotel. Sad, considering they just remodeled it into what it is now. Aladdin seems to consistently offer deals and lower rates than it's neighbors.

I wouldn't mind trying the buffet. I've heard nothing but good things.

The fact that they upgraded my room for free might have a lot to do with the Aladdin/Planet Hollywood receiving five stars.

I got none of the poor service that other reviewers have mentioned, unless you count the blackjack dealer taking all my money without an apology?

Our room was amazing, it overlooked the entire strip. The hotel also had a lot of perks for staying there, including good 2 for 1 discounts at the buffets and drink deals.

Plus, the location is ideal, right in the middle of the strip!

Highly recommended!

The rooms are quite nice at this hotel. They are spacious and comfortable and bathed in rich tones and colors. Where this hotel lacks is in the service, which is almost deplorable in its laxity. Check-in wait can be as long as two hours.

I celebrated my 21st here and booked two rooms for the night, which I will never EVER do again until I get the money up front from ppl who say they will be showing up and bail at the last minute, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!! but I digress... The customer service is AWESOME. When we checked in, they upgraded us to two SUITES instead of the standard rooms we booked for free! =)

I'd never stayed in a suite before then, so I was totally stoked, running around the expansive living room, bathroom, bedroom doing cartwheels and jumping around on the huge bed. Too bad our bathtub/jacuzzi wouldn't plug because I was really looking forward to a warm bubble bath! =(

Oh well, next time!

I can't say the standard rooms offer the same stellar experience as the suites, but I definitely would recommend this hotel for its warm-toned luxurious decor, clean facilities, ideal location within close proximity to everything on the strip, and impeccable customer service.

The location is excellent -- right near the Bellagio fountains and the Paris hotel, very centrally located on the Strip. I recommend staying at the Deluxe Non-Smoking Room with Fountain Square View & Marble Bathroom about 450 Sq Ft. The view was Breathtaking, seeing the Bellagio fountain and Paris Eiffel tower in your face!!. The king-sized bed was exceptionally comfortable for a hotel bed.

This property is soon to become the Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino, and was still under renovation when I was here. I'm sure going to miss The Arabian nights-theme. The Casino floor was very noisy with construction....but I didn't care, you don't go to Las Vegas to stay at the same Casino thats Ridiculous.

I Grabbed a Bargain for 79 bucks a Night for the Deluxe...booked it for Two Nights. Good Times ;)

best place for the price.

1. spacious room
2. huge bathroom with separate bathtub & shower
3. connects to a mall that closes at 12am
4. good buffet
5. clean rooms
6. close to every hotel on the strip
7. a lot of tv channels selection
8. friendly staff
9. did i say? HUGE ROOM
10. wasnt feeling the pictures of hollywood stars on the walls but good enough.

one thing that was cool -- they had a clock alarm system where you can set a time and you can have the bed shake to wake you up.

A cozy classic. It's not the best hotel by any stretch, but come on! It's the Aladdin! You have to love it purely because it's one of the original establishments of the Strip.

That alone deserves 3 stars.

I can't say that I enjoy the hotel other than for its novelty. It's more about how it makes me feel rather than how it feels in itself. The food is good. I like the buffet. Ranked #1 in all of Las Vegas. That says something huge.

Comfortable. Standard. Sad to see it sold.

4 stars because it's the Aladdin. 3 stars if I were to rate it on personal preference.

So when I do stay on the strip, I tend to stay at the aladdin cause it's a starwood property and that means I get points and better treatment with my "traveling corporate wageslave" status. On sunday I realized I wasn't gonna be able to power through my hangover to make it till my 6AM monday flight so I called around. They had a rate of 89 for a small room, but I wasn't picky given my pounding head and dire need of a shower. I got there and found that things have changed a little since I was last here, gone is a lot of the desert kitsch and planet hollywood has moved in. They are doing some serious revamping and the rooms are completely different. I got upgraded to a nice room with a view, 2 queen beds, a sitting area and a huuuge bathroom.

All in all it was a great visit and it looks like they're putting together a really clean look to the place. They get a bonus star for the mask on the wall from the '82 film creepshow, and of course the upgrade.
