The Platinum Hotel

Great place to stay at if you don't like staying on the strip but want to be near it. About a block behind the Flamingo. Rooms are all over 900 square feet. Really comfy beds, big bathroom with tub. Fits 2 comfortably. Full kitchen with plates and utensils. Decent size living room and great views. Also has a great heated pool. Brunch is great also. Favorite place to stay at. Will be back

Perfect for the sphere. 3 night stay for the dead. Direct walk to both shakedown and the sphere. Easy distance to Paris. Very clean, quiet, kind staff. Restaurant is fine. Not amazing but did the trick in a pinch. We are 100% staying here for most future Vegas trips (not casino or theme park people)

Ultimately, this place served its purpose. We wanted to stay just off the strip but close enough to all the action, which this definitely is. The accommodations are actually pretty nice. The bedroom and bathroom are huge. We weren't expecting a living room and this was also enormous with a fireplace? Unnecessary but I love it. Also with a balcony which didn't have the best facing view but was still quite nice. The suite also came with a full kitchen, which can come in handy. We did venture to the pool shortly, which was pretty nice. The had towels super available so that was easy enough. The pricing is a skosh high for being off the strip. We also had two dogs, which the price for is definitely higher than I would expect (albeit it's very clearly listed on their website, to their credit). With regards to the dogs, they advertise a dog area which is tiny and a bit hard to get to from the rooms, so it ends up being meh. The website mentions having tennis balls which I can't imagine is true because they also offer "dog bowls" which I asked for and subsequently received a lot of confused looks and ultimately a glass bowl from housekeeping that definitely was not meant for dogs (but it worked). The website offers a free bottle of wine upon checkin but we definitely would not have received this unless I specifically mentioned it, so definitely ask! Having parking is clutch. It's free. But there is also no gate so I have no idea how they regulate who is allowed to park here.
