Quick Verdict: Ellis Island Hotel vs Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino

When Ellis Island Hotel wins: Choose Ellis Island if you want lower-room counts, on-site brewpub dining (The Front Yard), affordable casual restaurants, free self-parking and a quieter, budget-minded base just east of the Strip.

When Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino wins: Pick Planet Hollywood if you want a big-Strip resort experience — more rooms, multiple pools and hot tubs, a full-service spa, large casino floor, many dining and nightlife options, and instant access to Miracle Mile Shops and Strip attractions.

Bottom line: Ellis Island is a compact, value-forward pick with a distinct brewpub and family-friendly vibe; Planet Hollywood is a high-energy, full-service Strip resort better suited to travelers who prioritize proximity to shows, shopping and bigger pools/amenities.

Location: Ellis Island vs Planet Hollywood

Ellis Island Hotel – Location

Ellis Island sits one block east of the Strip on Koval Lane, putting you within a short walk of many Strip attractions while avoiding the busiest Strip frontage.

  • About a 7–15 minute walk to the Strip depending on your route and start point
  • Close to the Horseshoe/Bally’s monorail station (roughly a 10-minute walk)
  • Address: 4250 Koval Lane, Las Vegas, NV 89109

Strong location for travelers who want near-Strip access without staying directly on the Boulevard.

Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino – Location

Planet Hollywood sits on the Las Vegas Strip at 3667 Las Vegas Blvd S, directly connected to Miracle Mile Shops and many Strip attractions.

  • Steps from Miracle Mile Shops and a short walk to Bellagio and other major Strip shows
  • Preferred airport: Harry Reid Intl. Airport (about 5 km away)
  • Address: 3667 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV 89109

Better if you want immediate Strip access, shopping and show venues at your doorstep.

Rooms: Standard and suite options

Ellis Island Hotel – Rooms

Ellis Island is a smaller property with a short, simple room roster and compact hotel feel.

  • 288 rooms and suites in total
  • Room types include Standard Room, Suite, Balcony and Deluxe Room
  • Free WiFi included via the nightly resort fee

Choose Ellis Island for straightforward rooms and a smaller, less crowded property experience.

Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino – Rooms

Planet Hollywood offers many room types and a much larger inventory, including view and suite options.

  • 2496 guestrooms with a long list of Ultra Hip room types and multiple suites (room names listed in supplier info)
  • Many accessible room options listed (roll-in shower, hearing impaired, tub transfer)
  • In-room conveniences include flat-screen TVs and laptop-compatible safes

Planet Hollywood is better for travelers who want a wide range of room types, views and larger-suite options.

Dining & drinks: Breweries and big-resort choices

Ellis Island Hotel – Dining & drinks

Ellis Island’s dining centers on casual, affordable American fare and a brewpub identity.

  • The Front Yard: two-story brewpub with rotating craft beers, house-smoked items and an 18-foot screen
  • Other on-site choices: Village Pub & Café (24/7), Ellis Island BBQ (21+ for BBQ dining room), Metro Pizza and Via Focaccia
  • Casual, budget-friendly menus and walk-in friendly service

Ellis Island is a strong pick for affordable, casual dining and a brewpub atmosphere onsite.

Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino – Dining & drinks

Planet Hollywood provides a broader, mainstream restaurant lineup and more bars for late-night and varied dining.

  • Nine restaurants on-site plus 5 bars/lounges and 2 coffee shops
  • Poolside bar service and room service available during limited hours
  • Close connection to shopping and off-property dining at Miracle Mile Shops

Planet Hollywood works well if you want many dining choices without leaving the resort or want easy access to Strip dining options.

Pools & signature amenity: Relaxation vs resort pools

Ellis Island Hotel – Pools & signature amenity

Ellis Island has a single seasonal outdoor heated pool with an adjoining hot tub and complimentary cabanas for registered guests.

  • Pool access is reserved for registered guests and included in the resort fee
  • Free cabanas and sun loungers are available for guests
  • No Las Vegas-style pool parties or nightclub pool scene

Pick Ellis Island if you want a quieter, guest-only pool with cabanas rather than a large-dayclub environment.

Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino – Pools & signature amenity

Planet Hollywood has multiple pools and hot tubs with lifeguard coverage and paid cabana options.

  • Two outdoor pools and two hot tubs; pool cabanas available (surcharge)
  • Lifeguard on site and pool sun loungers provided
  • Pool hours and seasonality vary; check the property for current schedule

Planet Hollywood is the better option for guests who want bigger pool options and a livelier resort pool scene.

Wellness & nightlife: Spa, shows and evening options

Ellis Island Hotel – Wellness & nightlife

Ellis Island leans on its casual nightlife — karaoke, a casino bar and local events — rather than a full-service spa and big-show venues.

  • Karaoke lounge and The Front Yard host entertainment and sports viewing
  • Casino bar (Bar 1968) open 24 hours for drinks and gaming
  • No named full-service spa with treatment menu verified

Ellis Island suits guests who want local-style nightlife, karaoke and casual evening entertainment.

Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino – Wellness & nightlife

Planet Hollywood pairs a full-service spa with concert and show venues and a broader nightlife footprint.

  • Full-service spa offering massages, body treatments and facials
  • PH Live theater and other on-site evening entertainment options
  • Designer stores and shops on the property add shopping-after-dark options

Planet Hollywood is stronger for guests who want a spa visit, larger shows and more nightlife variety without leaving the resort.
