This place is superb, From the moment we arrived till the time we checked out everything was just great.
We had a one bedroom suite which was on the seventh floor overlooking Flamingo drive and on to the mountains.
The room felt as if it had never been used, and the bed was wonderful.
One minor point about our room was the traffic noise I think the fire trucks must come round during the night just to wake everybody up boy are they loud!
For anybody from the Uk looking for somewhere to stay in Vegas you cannot go wrong at this place, Have paid more for rooms in London that arnt as big as the the bathroom at this hotel.
We also stopped at the mgm signiture which rates higher than this hotel, well apart from it having the best bed I have ever sleeped in and being much quieter I would go for the Platinum everytime.

We got one of two rooms in the entire Hotel. The Marquis Suite!!! This place had everything you need. Two rooms, two bathrooms, balcony etc. They had a security in the elevator so you knew you were safe!! The plasma tvs were really awsome!! It was the perfect room for my friends birthday weekend!! I couldn't give it 5 stars because it was not on the strip. On this trip we didnt go to many casinos, since it was not a walkable distance. Other than that this place is better then half the hotels on trhe strip. I would defenetly stay here again!!

If you don't like Las Vegas (noise, smoke, crowds), this place is for you! It's a condo hotel so the accomodations are fantastic (I stayed in a small 1-bedroom for $129/night) and the Platinum is just a block from the acion. But there are some kinks:

1) Housekeeping. My in-room coffee cup was replaced but the coffee pot was not cleaned and the coffee packets not replaced. I also did not have my bottled water replenished.

2) Reataurant. I literally had to walk into the kitchen to find the hostess one morning to seat me at 6 after the open. The next morning, the place was locked up at and I had to get the front desk manager to call upstairs. Not great if you're attending a meeting like I was and need to eat early.

3) Fitness room. I got up early to use the very nice facility. Despite the fact there was an attendant, I had to search for a fresh set of headsets. All those in place were used and nobody form the hotel had checked.

I will go back to the Platinum but some upgrades are needed to make the name synonimous with the service.

My wife and I stayed at The Platinum for 3 nights in early October.This was our first time in Las Vegas,and the recommendations to avoid booking accomodation on ` The Strip ` proved to be well founded !! The Platinum is one block off the centre of the strip.It takes no more than a five minute walk to the front of The Bellagio,Caesars Palace or Ballys.We booked a one bedroomed suite which for two people was more than adequate.The suite had a full kitchen , Whirlpool / spa bath, lounge / living room ,two LCD televisions and a balcony with the most stunning view of Las Vegas you could imagine.(we were on the 16th floor !)
The staff from the front desk ,the car valet guys and the restaurant and bar staff were exceptional .Nothing was to much trouble, even to rhe extent of a waiter coming to our room to open a bottle of wine for us as the cutlery tray was missing a corkscrew.
The pool area is on the fifth floor and after some serious sightseeing and shopping it was a relaxing area to unwind at the end of the day,before hitting the nightlife of `Sin City`.The sunbeds were fully matressed,with a further selection of other reclining chairs and sofas on which to enjoy a drink from the discreet poolside bar.
The restaurant stands comparison with most four star hotels.The food is excellent and seriously well presented but be prepared to pay that bit more for it along with the service.
The bar staff were absolutely brilliant not only at creating some wonderful cocktails but giving us the inside information of how to have fun in Vegas.
Overall I cannot rate this place highly enough.It may be a block off the strip but is actually closer than if you were staying in the further reaches of somewhere like Caesars Palace or The MGM Grand,
