We purposefully wanted to stay in a reasonably priced non-casino, non-smoking hotel that was near the strip, and selected the Platinum based on price and Trip Advisor reviews. What a great find for our recent 3-night stay in Vegas! The service was impeccable, from check in, to the phone call after we arrived to make sure the room was alright, to the friendly greeting every time we walked in the door.... each and every employee was enthusiastic, friendly and caring.
The room itself was excellent -- clean and spacious enough for 3 adults. The room was shockingly quiet for Vegas. Although our friend said the pull out mattress was not very comfortable, the king bed in the bedroom was wonderful! We absolutely loved the balcony, enjoying our coffee out there in the morning and a cocktail before heading back out in the evening. The full kitchen was lovely, and we cooked in our breakfast every day just to save some money (a gas station and small market just steps away have the basics). The bathroom is huge, and the storage sufficient.
We didn't use the spa, but we enjoyed 1/2 off appetizers and cocktails during happy hour one afternoon at the bar downstairs which was a deal. The pool area is very nice also, with excellent views of the city.
The walk to the strip was longer than it looks, but isn't everything like that in Vegas? In less than 10 minutes we were in the heart of it all, and even sooner if you enter into the Bally's Sports Book and walk through the underground shops to get to the Strip. I was worried about the safeness of the area and the "unsavory characters" some reviewers mentioned, but we spent alot of time walking around the area at night and never had a problem. Overall, our stay at the Platinum was fantastic, and would stay here again in a heartbeat.
