Excellent service. We origianlly booked a regular princess suite and other guests decided, out of the blue, to take the trip with us. When we arrived to the hotel we asked to be upgraded to a larger suite or book another suite (which ever was more convinient). In the end the manager ended up giving us the Marquis suite for just $100 more and the price came out to about $340 a night. We were extremely happy because the suite was huge, two bedrooms, two bathrooms (both with wirpool tubs), beautiful view and extremely spacious. The location is not too far from the strip and taxi service was very fast. We did have an issue with the microwave, but that was fixed within short hours. I would definately recommend this place to anyone.

I have been to Vegas many times. I have stayed both on and off the Strip. This is one of the best Vegas experiences I have ever had. The service at the Platinum was spectacular. We had two rooms and arrived early morning. At that early hour, one of the rooms available in the category we booked faced the parking lot. When I expressed dissatisfaction with the parking lot view, the front desk staff immediately upgraded both rooms free of charge to keep us on the same floor. The rooms are all suites and spacious with full kitchens with granite top counters and black refrigerators as well as huge separate tub and shower bathrooms.
The fact that this was a non-smoking hotel was much appreciated everytime we returned from the smoke-filled hotels and casinos on the strip. The two block walk to the strip was an easy stroll even in the hot weather. The breakfast in the dining room was delicious and a good value. Every request was either anticipated or met with a can-do attitude by the dining room staff. I would return to the Platinum in a heartbeat!

We got great room prices booking through Expedia well ahead of time, then Matt at the front desk upgraded us to a suite facing the strip. What a deal! Huge room, nice and quiet, walkable to mid-strip casinos (Bally's is closest). This was a great value. Breakfast at the restaurant was well-prepared and very reasonably priced. Drinks in the lounge were pricier than some, but the quality was high. The hotel van took us most places we wanted to go and when he was otherwise occupied we just grabbed a cab. The concierge got us dinner reservations and checked us in for our return flights. Everyone at this hotel was pleasant and upbeat. You won't want to swim laps in the pool unless you like turns a lot, and be prepared to pay for internet access, but that's it for drawbacks. I would definitely return here if I wanted good value and didn't care about being in one of the big casinos.

I stayed at this hotel recently with a group of girlfriends for a reunion. We had three rooms to accommodate us all - one of the rooms was extremely large with two huge bedrooms and bathrooms, flatscreen TV plus a balcony and a dining area. We used this room as a 'meeting place' for our group and prepared cocktails and appetizers each night before going out. The room I stayed in was a very large one bedroom with another huge bathroom and smaller balcony. All the rooms had big, full size kitchens with large, American-style refrigerators.

The rooms are very tastefully decorated in muted tones like olive green, beige, brown and black. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were large enough to add a couple of extra cot beds to accommodate our group. We arranged for groceries to be delivered to the largest suite and the staff took care of putting everything away.

The main drawback to this hotel, in my opinion, is the pool area. It is basically a no frills pool deck area that sits on top of the car park, and is rather disappointing considering how nice the rooms are at the hotel. It is painted in orange and has some seating areas with yellow umbrellas. The sun loungers are padded and they provide towels. There are no plants or other decor. The pool area, at least during our trip in April, stays shaded in the morning until about 11:30am because of the side of the hotel it is situated on. I am making these points about the pool because I have stayed in other hotels in Vegas including Mandalay Bay, the Venetian, and the Rio. All have large pool areas with multiple pools, jacuzzis, bars, etc. If you are looking for a pool scene, then the Platinum is not the hotel for you. Because we were a group of girlfriends catching up, this was ok for us and actually it was very easy for all 20 of us to sit together. At the larger hotels during peak holiday periods, finding empty chairs can be a challenge.

The location of the hotel actually was not that bad. Yes, it is off the strip but you can walk about 10 minutes and reach Caesar's Palace. We did not have a problem getting a taxi.

All in all, this was great for our group trip because the rooms are really like apartments and we were able to really hang out and catch up. I would recommend it again for a similar event.
