Planet Hollywood and a couple of food update 2018
I always stay at Caesar's properties and eat at them too when in Vegas during June/July. See my other posts in this thread as to why.
Planet Hollywood
I was offered another Sunday night - Friday stay comped at PH this year. Since I usually play a lot at the Aria, I thought it would be a shorter walk than from the Flamingo. Some have said you can't beat their location--I'll disagree. It ended up that I didn't play at all at the Aria. So, I really would have been better off at the Flamingo--shorter walk to Bellagio Poker Room and Caesar's Poker Room. It really depends on where you will be playing mostly.
I usually like to jump in cash games where I stay late at night to wind down and relax. This was near impossible at PH. Constant pounding music, lights, and distractions from the party pit. Not really a "room" per se, but a bunch of tables thrown in an open area.
Hash House at the Linq
Evidently under new management. Worse experience at a HH ever and they are usually awesome. Basically when I had a problem with the crispy potatoes in a dish, manager told me they had other potato options and that's just how they make them. they did remake them for me and they were much better that the little pieces of burnt charcoal they originally served me.
Counter wait staff is still awesome!
Warning Caesars points users
The Linq HH charges DOUBLE points for meals, so my usual $17 meal was $34 worth of points. There's no warning either!
Hell's Kitchen
I'm not a huge Ramsey fan and there isn't another restaurant in Vegas of his that I would recommend. My group got me to go here this year. The service was fantastic and really enjoyed my meal. It is pricy, but so is just about anything anymore. You can use points. They will break large groups into 5 separate checks if you ask. FYI when using points you cannot have them use a portion of points on a bill. Must use all points or cover entire bill.
