Planet Hollywood vs. MGM Grand?

If I can get the same deal at either hotel which would you choose? We are 3 party gals celebrating my girlfriend's 30th birthday. Is PH more centrally located? Any help is appreciated.Planet Hollywood vs. MGM Grand?
I would suggest the PH as the MGM is so huge that it takes forever just to get from your room to the strip. PH is better located on the strip. Here is a page with some great tips on your first visit to Vegas. Lots of great information.
Planet Hollywood is definitely more centrally located, and they have one of the BEST buffets in Vegas. It is located across the street from Bellagio and next door to Paris. There is really only a 15 minute walk between MGM Grand and PH, but if it were the same deal I would choose Planet Hollywood, I think they are both about equal on their amenities, but MGM Grand probably has a better pool area since they have a lazy river and all.



Another thing is, there is a free shuttle to Rio located in the driveway right where PH meets Paris, and Rio has the other BEST buffet in Vegas, and some great night clubs/lounges.



I am actually surprised that you found a deal with PH that was equal to some of the specials that MGM Grand is running, unless it is on a weekend. Check out this deal just to make sure you found the best deals out there http://smartervegas.com/ They list all of the hotel's promotional offers, so send you directly to the hotel website to book.



If you are interested in any shows, sign up for this free website http://www.goldstar.com/?p=f691450ff27 They currently have specials on Le Reve @ Bellagio, Penn %26amp; Teller @ Rio, Blue Man Group @ Venetian, and Danny Gans @ Wynn. Blue Man Group, which is normally $140, is on sale here for $85.



Just for reference, here is a great interactive strip map so you can see the locations of all of the hotels http://www.visitlasvegas.com/vegas/stay/鈥?/a>



South Strip includes most of the action.Planet Hollywood vs. MGM Grand?
Just went to PH in Oct. for my 35th. It is very fun and def. centrally located. You go to the left and there's NY, NY, Monte Carlo, Luxor, MGM, Mandalay Bay, Excalibur...you go to the right and there's Paris, Bellagio, Caesar's, Venetian, Mirage, TI, Harrah's, Flamingo, Wynn.

Enjoy!

PH has a great mall and nice places to eat like Koi (if you like sushi) and Strip House (if you like steak...and the 24-layer chocolate cake, if you like dessert). They also have a coffee shop/cafe called Dailies which is good for breakfast.
PH is centrally located and it has a nice casino but I would choose MGM because their great pool areas. But you cannot go wrong with any of these hotels. Have you checked http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com ? You will find there the latest promotion offers for these and other hotels as well.
PH is better. MGM isnt anything special to me but it is bigger.
PH is more central, and would probably be more fun for a 30th bday.
PH is in the middle of Strip and has night clubs you would enjoy
