There used to be a Planet Hollywood cafe right smack in the middle of Bukit Bintang . Went in once or twice and got gobsmacked seeing how it was teeming more with curious sightseers during the day and packed like sardines by those Hard Rock Cafe types at night . Fast forward , the Kuala Lumpur establishment is now no more ,so you can imagine how fantastic it felt to be able to experiencing staying the hotel itself eventually .....and in Vegas , for 2 nights too at that !
Welcome to Planet Hollywood !
If you watched the movie Hangover and think that the place is aglow with vices and dripping with sleaze ...well not exactly .
I met this fellow who actually lives in Vegas and he told me the following quip that kinda sums up how liveable the city is
" everybody helps everybody in Vegas "
It was safe to walk till 1 a.m but I pushed it till 3 a.m. and hey , nothing happens if you don't want it to .
There were a couple of Hongkies on my tour group who came to make enquiries once they found out how amazing the location was but alas , even if they had wanted to , the hotel was so fully booked , I stood close to 45 minutes in line just to get myself checked in .
Every path is designed in such a way that you must go through the casino floor. Not a good thing for hardcore gamblers but not a problem for me .
Even if you don't gamble , the floor will be an eyeopener with girls walking around in tiny panties and corsets plus gyrating girls in garters and very little else lol , at the Pleasure Pit !
What's what and where's where over here.
These must be the sexiest lifts ever featuring Britney. There's a J Lo poster nearby but Britney sizzles so much you'd expect the lift door to open up with some caged humans prancing out and swinging to kingdom come .
Even if you never live here , I think you've got to come and see the lift doors lol
No one jumped out but I did stand to one side ( just in case ) and heaved a sigh of relief afterwards .
Anyway , this is my room !
Wooohh nice !
I got the Mario Brothers room .
Authentic movie memoribilia in a case .
The yellow jacket worn by Bob Hoskins in the 1993 movie Super Mario Brothers
I'm actually a John Leguizamo fan
. However , soaking naked in the deepest tub I've tried to date , with him up there holding some window washing tools was a bit um , weird haha .
Shower took some figuring out .
Dressing mirror and bath products wise , I think they need to step up .
Kinda grimy round the edges .
Really have no complaints with regards to the powerful shower and huge tub .
As it happened , Lionel Richie was performing that very night .
If you wanna attend any show while you are in the hotel , your planning has to be topnotch .
Mine wasn't and there was no way I could land some standby or last minute tickets without forking out a ransom .
So I went outside and soaked in Vegas .
And my conclusion is that it is a nice place , that's liberating for a woman like me, with many happy people .
How crazy and sleazy you want it to get is just phone calls or a nod away but overall it's yours to push in or out of that direction.
What I found most amazing is how this small strip being right smack in the middle of a desert has more personal jets flying in and out of the small airstrip than I've ever seen before .
Other thing you have to know is that most hotels here slap a mandatory resort fee .
Per room , per night . 2 nights equals 2 fees.
In my case, it covers a free breakfast at Starbucks and wifi throughout your stay so make sure you use it.
Was hard to say goodbye to Vegas and Planet Hollywood .
Really .
More so when Roger Rabbit ought to come see my room .
Location : Las Vegas , USA
