Planet Hollywood finds orbit
I have been skeptical about the differences represented by the Aladdin's
changeover to Planet Hollywood, maybe too skeptical.
My main problem with Planet Hollywood has to do with design issues left over from the Aladdin years -- such as the lengthy walk from the parking garage to the resort. Also, with Beauty of Magic, Planet Hollywood unabashedly and enthusiastically offered one of the worst shows in recent memory at a major Strip resort.
Beauty of Magic closed shortly after Planet Hollywood's grand opening back in November. Over New Year's weekend, when there were unbelievable taxi lines everywhere else, I walked to Planet Hollywood knowing I would be able to catch a cab there without a tremendous wait. I was right. There was no wait.
Two other offerings in the Miracle Mile mall, Trader Vic's and David Burke's Hawaiian Tropic Zone, have also increased the property's visibility.
Meanwhile, Stomp Out Loud, Planet Hollywood's show, has hit the important one-year anniversary successfully. And Planet Hollywood even seems close to becoming profitable.
