Staying at the Platinum is a win. This is a beautiful hotel. We had a terrific spacious 1-BR suite with living room and a kitchen. The accommodations and staff were excellent. I highly recommend it if you want to be right near, but not on the strip in Vegas. I'd stay at this hotel again.

My husband and I stayed at the Platinum for our anniversary in early September. We had not planned to stay here but the other hotel we had booked on line was not able to honor our reservation and set up a reservation for us at the Platinum and we are glad they did. The hotel is a couple blocks off the strip so for those of you that want to let all the noise of the Strip fall away when you are done for the night this is a perfect location to do so but is still close enough to walk right back into the heart of everything the next day. We loved the huge jacuzzi tub, the bed was very comfortable and the views from our balacony were wonderful. we were a bit skeptical about the 5th floor pool and whether it would get good sun exposure but it gets sun all afternoon long from practically 11:30 am on. There was only one day that it was big crowded but the rest of the time we had the pool practically to ourselves. Food at the restaurant was nice sized portions and tasted great. there were a few minor issues with our bill and the room rate related to our reservation transfer from the other hotel but once we brought it to their attention it was quickly fixed. we would recommend this hotel to others that are looking for a quieter location to the strip with tons of space to relax and great service. we had a great time and look forward to coming back for another anniversary in years to come.

The Las Vegas Platinum is a great alternative to the traditional Strip hotels... within close walking distance (1 block), guests can easly opt for the Strip experience and then retire to the quiet and solitude of the Platinum. The restaurant offers great and genuine service along with fantatic food at a reasonable price... and because it's smaller, there is never a wait to dine. One of the greatest features is the huge and comfortable rooms at an increadibly low price... 900 square feet (smallest room) plus a small kitchen area, plenty of space to spread out and be comfortable... the 42 inch HDTV also made it pleasure to relax in the room. The decor is very comtemporary and the hotel offers a great little lounge that's never crowded and the bartender (Christian) offers genuine 'personality' in town a where most service staff have their hands out waiting for a tip before even greeting a guest.

For any guest wanting the Las vegas experiences without all of the noise craziness... or wish to experience the craziness in smaller doses... this is a great hoyel to stay... the only one I'll be going back to from here on out!

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights on our honeymoon. I have to admit, it was a GREAT choice for honeymooners as previous reviews have said.

We were greeted by very kind valets who told us that we had a great time, took our bags and opened the front doors for us. The front desk was a continuation of great service and check-in was a breeze. They upgraded us at check in to a larger suite which was nice. However, all rooms at the platinum are suites, the smallest being 900+ square feet so you wont ever be staying in a bad room.

The room was very clean and tidy and smelled nice. It included everything including a washer/dryer with included soap and dryer sheets as well as a fireplace. The room was absolutely gigantic with GREAT views of the strip. The hotel is non-smoking which is an extra plus if you dont smoke. (Those of you who dont like tobacco smoke know how impossible it is to get away from it in vegas.)

Each time we entered in the hotel, the front desk asked how we were and how the room was. They were very kind and courteous.

The location of the hotel is about a block and a half off the strip. However, we were located only about a 5 minute walk to the monorail station at Ballys and that was perfect. The location isnt that bad and my wife and I enjoyed the 5 minute stroll each night back to the hotel on a safe Flamingo Rd. You can also take the Deuce bus that runs flamingo rd if you dont want to walk. There are no dangerous concerns that you need to worry about.

The only bad thing we encountered was an interesting smell as we got off of the elevator on the floor of our room. It was only by the cleaning closet and it wasnt in our room but it wasnt pleasant.

Overall, this is a GREAT hotel for anyone!
