We stayed at The Platinum Hotel and Spa for 5 nights in April. The room was quite nice with two queen size beds on the 17th floor. Big bathroom with a 2 person whirpool bath, which was awesome. The only downside to the bathroom was that the toilet was not in a separate room like many others. We like it when it is in its own room so that one can have privacy while the other can shower and prepare for the day. The living room and kitchen was beautiful. We especially liked having the full size refrigerator with it's own ice maker and filtered water. Quite a wonderful convenience in Las Vegas where it is so dry. We didn't particulary like the pool area. It was rather small and there was no service at the pool. However, the lounges were comfortably padded, and the whirlpool was quite large and perfectly warm. The pool in April was a little too cool for our taste, so we didn't do any swimming. Didn't eat at the restaurants or even have a drink in the bar, so can't speak of those things. Overall, our experience was very good and we would stay again for the right price.

My sisters and I stayed at the Platinum for an extended girls weekend. We were very pleased with the room. The kitchen was large with granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. The living area had a couch, chair, and LCD t.v. The bathroom was huge! There were two sinks and a sunken tub. The shower had stone walls and a glass door. Plus, there were two queen beds in the the bedroom. The overall decor was modern and sleek. I didn't give The Platinum 5 stars because its location is on the outer edge of the strip and there was only valet parking. Despite that, we thought the room was beautiful.

The reason we decided to stay off of the strip, was to get away from all the noise and hustle of the casino hotels but still have a very nice suite. The rooms were very modern and spacious. The large tub was nice ...BUT our shower leaked all over the floor every time we showered. The room they put us in, after a two hour wait, was extremely noisy being next to a busy street. Also, we could barely get a bartender and when we did, they couldn't make the simplest drinks. They were out of a lot of what we wanted. Drinks also were very expensive. They have a lot of young staff members who obviously are inexperienced. We called the concierge to make dinner reservations and he never called us back after he said he would. The food orders are almost always incorrect ... if you order bacon, you get ham.They actually served my husband warm orange juice, and when we asked for fresh cold juice, they said it was all warm. Our stay overall was below the standard ... The website claimed to offer a relaxing environment with great service and ammenities...instead we felt like we were let down. Save your time and money ...

When we found the Travelzoo deal on this hotel we booked it, and were so glad we did! The Platinum was easily worth twice what we paid for it, and was a great place. As others have mentioned -- it is a LONG block from the strip, probably a 15-20 minute walk, not bad unless you are walking up and down the strip all day. We were upgraded into a HUGE two-bedroom suite, with a bathroom as big as some studio apartments. Very well decorated, very posh and elegant. Nice kitchen, filtered water on the fridge, super clean, great slate shower and jacuzzi tub, excellent beds....who could ask for more? The downsides....the strip view was the back of the hotels and not much of a view, there was no one to help with luggage and the doors don't open autimatically at the front, so you have to try to open glass doors with your bags in hand. But still a 5* stay-- would recommend to anyone!
