Vegas.com wrote that "the spicy atmosphere and scintillating menu combine to tantalize all the senses and provide satisfaction."

6. Surf the Flowrider at The Rooftop Pool

The Planet Hollywood Las Vegas pool is one of the top spots to see and be seen on the Strip, so it's appropriate that its called The Scene Pool Deck. The rooftop hangout features poolside cabanas, two bars, and exquisite views of the Strip. It's also the only place in Vegas with the Flowrider, where you can experience the thrill of surfing without ever leaving the desert.

7. Shop All Day at the Miracle Mile

If you're searching for a day of shopping, you've come to the right resort. Planet Hollywood's Miracle Mile packs nearly 200 stores and more than 30 restaurants and snack shops into a 1.2-mile-long stretch. From Victoria's Secret to GUESS, and Cabo Wabo Cantina to Sin City Brewing Co., the Miracle Mile is jam-packed with top-brand businesses.

8. Be Amazed at Criss Angel Mindfreak

In a town full of magic shows, Planet Hollywood has what the Las Vegas Sun called the "#1 magician on the planet." The all-new show Criss Angel MINDFREAK will make you question the laws of physics, with more than 75 illusions and 20 new spectacles.

9. Do Lunch at Gordon Ramsay Burger

Restaurants don't come with any bigger name attached than Gordon Ramsay. The British celebrity chef helms this burger joint that goes above and beyond old-fashioned ketchup and mustard (in fact, the restaurant offers curry- and chipotle-infused ketchup). Try the "Foie" burger—topped with foie-gras spread—for something especially decadent, and save room for dessert: the blood-orange creamsicle and crème-brûlée shake are outstanding cappers to a great meal.

10. Tie the Knot at the Onsite Chapel

Sure, why not? At The Chapel at Planet Hollywood, you can get married at the same property where Elvis and Priscilla Presley were wed in 1967 (when the resort was known as The Aladdin). Highlighted by a spectacular glass-art altar, the chapel is the perfect spot for a romantic (and quick!) ceremony in perhaps the most-famous city in the world for speedy matrimony.
