Hotel has no casino that might put some people off but for us this was the main attraction as it is always good to have a quiet retreat to fall back on.
And this was just that, it is a block away from the Las Vegas Blvd with Ceasars Palace and the Bellagio at the top of the block (about 10 minute walk due to the huge block size in Vegas), Bally and Bills on the opposite corners.
Hotel itself is very clean and accomodating, staff are all polite and efficient, valet staff too were always willing to call taxis and offer directions.
Room - Amazing, huge and well fitted out. Junior suite was more than we bargained for with huge dining/kitchen area, one bedroom with queen size double and then the bathroom with its shower, double sink and large whirlpool tub for two so no complaints here....
Food - Only had breakfast but this was very good indeed and not too expensive if the specials were chosen and they were worth choosing - all fresh and slightly unique options that really hit the spot.
All in all a great stop if the lure of casino can wait till a night out - would go back again without hesitation.

The hotel is a short walk from the Strip and the suites are fantastic. No smoking, which is a real plus. Size of suite and facilities makes it real value. Pool area is great, not too busy. Have to pay for internet access though and is $14 per 24 hours so factor that into the room cost. Also valet parking only.

Since I celebrated my 21st birthday in Vegas in 1970, I thought it would be fun to go back to "celebrate" my 60th. After reading T.A. reviews, I decided on the Platinum Hotel. It is about 3 blocks off of the strip, but we had no problem walking to/from during the day and night. We were greeted by a very friendly front desk staff, and were delighted to be upgraded to the 18th floor since it was my b'day.The room had a full kitchen, living room, fireplace, soaking tub, balcony and great view of the "mt. side" of Vegas.
The bartenders at the lobby bar were gregarious and chatty, and made awesome cocktails! There are comfy chairs and cocktail tables for ordering appetizers in this bar. The restaurant is on a top floor next to the rooftop pool, and we enjoyed a lunch there.
The concierge was incredibly helpful helping us with restaurant reservations. I had already reserved seats for two shows ( "O" at the Bellagio-unbelievably wonderful show-don't miss it! "The Jersey Boys"- just ok) and she called to confirm these also. Guest services here are efficient and helpful.
Friends from El Seguendo, Calf. joined us, and my friend Bonnie treated me to a massage and pedicure at the Platinum spa. She joined me, and we were "wowed" with how beautiful the spa was. The entire experience was relaxing and theraputic. Would highly recommend the spa services here.
One of the most important things to mention is that this is NOT a casino hotel, so when you have been deluged all day with loud casino noises and cigarette smoke on "the strip", you will be happy to walk into a quiet smokefree lobby on the way up to your comfortable room at the Platinum.
Restaurant opinion- do not eat at nearby restaurant" Tillermans"- overpriced with 1960's style food and service. Try nearby Firefly ( tapas) instead.

Great place, though not a casino hotel. In a nutshell: this hotel offers terrific value for full amenity suites. It is NOT less expensive than a standard Las Vegas room at any strip resort. That is the wrong comparison, though. It IS much less expensive than a suite at a strip casino resort.
You get a full size bedroom, which is seperate from the living room, as well as a full size kitchen. The bathroom is very large and includes a jauzzi whirlpool. You also get a balcony with table and chairs.
We paid approx. 200/night and found it worthwhile. If you had to stay for more than a few days, the full size kitchen would quickly pay off via savings from eat-in meals, avoiding the restaurant dining that can add co$ts to any trip when away from home.
