Paris vs Planet Hollywood: Which Las Vegas Hotel Should You Book?

Paris is the better pick for most first-timers and couples: it has an indoor route to the monorail, a two-acre all-ages rooftop pool and the Eiffel Tower. Planet Hollywood wins on room size, with 430 to 585-square-foot standard rooms, plus shows and a 21+ pool. Both charge the same $54.95 nightly resort fee plus tax.

Fees checked October 2026: both are mid-range Caesars hotels on the center Strip, and with tax and parking the fixed nightly cost is identical, so the fee won’t decide it for you. Our Paris Las Vegas review and Planet Hollywood Las Vegas review cover each hotel in full, and how we review hotels explains our research method; this page is the head-to-head.

Location

The two hotels are close neighbors on the center Strip, at 3655 (Paris) and 3667 (Planet Hollywood) Las Vegas Blvd South. Neither lists an indoor connection to the other, so the real difference is what each one links to.

Paris is the better-connected base. An interior casino walkway and a 253-foot SkyBridge tie it to Horseshoe next door, and through Horseshoe you reach the Horseshoe & Paris station of the Las Vegas Monorail indoors. Trains run every 4 to 8 minutes. Caesars Palace is two pedestrian bridges away at the Four Corners, and the LINQ Promenade is a short walk north.

Planet Hollywood has the mall but not the monorail. The Miracle Mile Shops (170-plus tenants) connect indoors, but there’s no monorail stop; its FAQ routes guests through Paris to the Horseshoe & Paris station, 10 to 15 minutes on foot. It’s slightly closer to T-Mobile Arena, though. The arena’s route list (now offline; last captured in December 2025) put Planet Hollywood about 16 minutes away on foot and Paris about 20. Our guide to hotels near T-Mobile Arena compares the closer options.

Rideshare pickup is at Planet Hollywood’s main porte cochere, while Paris’s zone is on Level 1 of the garage it shares with Horseshoe, 8 to 12 minutes on foot from the casino floor. Both hotels sit in the same airport taxi zone, with a $26.25 flat fare plus $3 by card (as of October 2026).

For the Las Vegas Grand Prix (Nov. 19–21, 2026), the organizer’s track description runs the Las Vegas Boulevard straight past the Eiffel Tower at Paris. Planet Hollywood appears on the organizer’s pedestrian-routes map, but no official source confirms track views from its rooms. Our Las Vegas Grand Prix hotels guide covers race-week closures.

Rooms

Paris has 3,672 rooms in two towers: the 34-story Bordeaux Tower, with its Burgundy rooms, and the 756-room Versailles Tower, renovated for more than $100 million. Planet Hollywood has about 2,500 rooms and suites, and its current “Ultra” categories arrived with a 2017 renovation. Sizes below are Caesars’ own.

Room type	Size	Beds	Notes
Paris: Burgundy Room (Bordeaux Tower)	390 sq ft (listed for PetStay rooms)	1 King or 2 Queens	Eiffel, pool, South Strip or attraction views; marble bath
Paris: Versailles Room	About 445 sq ft (FAQ: from 420)	Not listed	55-inch TV, sofa, walk-in shower
Paris: Versailles Balcony Room	About 445 sq ft plus a 55-sq-ft balcony	1 King or 2 Queens	38 rooms with Strip views
Paris: Versailles Executive Suite	769 sq ft	Not listed	Refrigerator, soaking tub
Planet Hollywood: Ultra Hip Room	430–450 sq ft	1 King or 2 Queens	Fountain, Sphere, pool, city or mountain views; separate tub and shower
Planet Hollywood: Ultra Resort Room	585 sq ft	1 King or 2 Queens	Double vanity; the Vista version has a soaking tub by the window
Planet Hollywood: Ultra Hip Strip Suite	850 sq ft	1 King	Strip view, oversized round soaking tub
Planet Hollywood: Ultra Panorama Suite	1,255 sq ft	1 King or 2 Queens	180-degree Strip views

Planet Hollywood wins on space. Its entry-level rooms are bigger than Paris’s Burgundy rooms and about level with Versailles rooms, and its 585-square-foot Ultra Resort rooms beat anything Paris sells below suite level. Even the basic Ultra Hip room has a separate tub and shower.

Paris wins on outdoor space and theme. The 38 Versailles Balcony rooms are one of the few standard balcony options on the Strip, according to the Paris FAQ, while Planet Hollywood’s closest equivalent is a Patio or Cabana room opening onto space next to the pool. Our guide to Las Vegas hotels with balconies lists the alternatives. One catch: Versailles guests are directed to check in at the Horseshoe front desk.

For fountain views, Planet Hollywood sells an Ultra Hip Room labeled “Dancing Fountains view.” None of the room categories Caesars lists for Paris is sold as a fountain view, so at Paris the fountains are a dinner view instead: Caesars says Alexxa’s has front-row fountain views. Our guide to fountain-view rooms lists every hotel that sells the view by name.

Pools

Pool à Paris is a two-acre rooftop garden on the third floor, beneath the Eiffel Tower and looking out at the Arc de Triomphe. It’s free for registered guests (four per room key) and open to all ages, with children under 14 accompanied by an adult. Rentals include 18 cabanas, 25 daybeds and eight villas, and Caesars bills it as its quieter, more relaxed pool. There’s no 21+ area.

The Scene Pool Deck at Planet Hollywood sits on the sixth floor, with an all-ages North Pool, a 21+ South Pool, 31 cabanas and the FlowRider wave machine (ages 13 and up, with 42-inch and 48-inch height minimums). It’s open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the FAQ says access is free for guests and the public.

The better pool depends on who’s swimming. Paris suits couples and families who want room to spread out and a calmer deck; Planet Hollywood suits mixed groups who want a 21+ corner, plus teens who’d rather ride a wave than float. Both were open for the 2026 season by February 27. Paris’s season typically runs March to October, and Caesars hasn’t posted a closing date for Planet Hollywood’s deck, so check before a winter trip.

Dining

Paris has the stronger restaurant lineup, especially for a big night out. Planet Hollywood leans casual, with the Miracle Mile Shops as backup.

Type	Paris	Planet Hollywood
Signature restaurants	Eiffel Tower Restaurant, Gordon Ramsay Steak, Nobu, The Bedford by Martha Stewart	Strip House, Caramella (Tao Group)
Bistro and casual	Mon Ami Gabi, Bobby’s Burgers, Beer Park	Gordon Ramsay Burger, P.F. Chang’s, YOLOS Mexican Grill, Cafe Hollywood
Views	Mon Ami Gabi’s Strip-front patio, Cheri Rooftop, Alexxa’s	None listed
Around the clock	Café Belle Madeleine, 24-hour room service	Earl of Sandwich

The Eiffel Tower Restaurant, by Chef J. Joho, sits on the tower’s 11th floor, more than 100 feet above the Strip. Gordon Ramsay fans can choose between Paris’s steakhouse and Planet Hollywood’s 200-seat burger restaurant, which added a Wellington Burger in summer 2026.

Casino

Planet Hollywood has the bigger floor: Caesars lists more than 100,000 square feet, with 86 table games, more than 950 slots and Pulse Arena and Roll To Win Craps interactive games. Its non-smoking slot area, billed as the city’s first, is a real plus if smoke bothers you.

Paris’s 85,000-square-foot casino sits under a painted-sky ceiling, with 65-plus table games, 60-plus electronic table games, the Salon des Tables high-limit room (3:2 blackjack) and a renovated Caesars Race & Sportsbook near Mon Ami Gabi. Planet Hollywood also has a Caesars Race & Sportsbook, across from Earl of Sandwich.

At both, smoking is limited to designated casino areas, and rooms are non-smoking. Poker players should walk over to Horseshoe, connected indoors to Paris, for its 18-table World Series of Poker Hall of Fame Poker Room; Planet Hollywood closed its own poker room in early 2026.

Entertainment and nightlife

Planet Hollywood is the show hotel. Caesars’ official list (October 5, 2026) includes Criss Angel MINDFREAK, Alice Cooper & Criss Angel: Welcome to Our Nightmare, the adults-only Chippendales, and PH Live dates from Jeff Dunham: Artificial Intelligence and a limited-time Jeezy residency, plus one-night concerts. The bars are all 21+, and Caramella Hidden Lounge runs DJs Thursday to Sunday. There’s no nightclub on property.

Paris has no resident production show on Caesars’ list. Its entertainment is the building itself: the Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck (460 feet up, open daily from 4 p.m. to midnight), a free light show every 30 minutes from sunset to midnight and free cabaret in Le Cabaret Lounge on Friday and Saturday nights. For drinks, Cheri Rooftop runs a late-night bar Friday to Sunday, Vanderpump à Paris is a 21+ cocktail lounge, and Beer Park is a rooftop bar. For a nightclub, both hotels point you to OMNIA at Caesars Palace.

Resort fees and parking

Both charge $54.95 per night plus tax (as of October 2026). With Clark County’s 13.38% room tax, that’s about $62.30 a night, or $186.91 on a three-night stay, before you pay for the room. The fee covers Wi-Fi, fitness center access for two guests daily and unlimited local and toll-free calls at both hotels; Planet Hollywood’s FAQ adds that Caesars Rewards Diamond and Seven Stars members don’t pay it. Our guide to Las Vegas resort fees shows where cheaper tiers start.

Parking costs the same for hotel guests. Caesars doesn’t publish rates on either hotel’s pages, but Las Vegas Advisor’s table lists $20 per 24 hours for hotel guests and $40 for valet at both (as of October 2026). Visitors pay $20 Monday through Wednesday and $25 Thursday through Sunday at Paris; Planet Hollywood gives visitors a free first hour, then charges $18 for one to three hours or $20 up to 24 hours Monday through Thursday and $25 Friday through Sunday. Caesars Rewards Platinum, Diamond and Seven Stars members park free.

With the fee, tax and guest self-parking, a driver’s fixed cost is about $82.30 a night at either hotel ($62.30 + $20), before the room rate. Paris’s garage, shared with Horseshoe, has a 7-foot clearance; Planet Hollywood’s is reached from Las Vegas Boulevard. Nevada residents get the bigger break at Paris, with up to three free hours of self-parking, against one hour at Planet Hollywood, per a KLAS report. Our Las Vegas parking fees guide has the full Caesars table.

Price positioning

Both sit in the mid-range tier in our hotel data and charge the same fee, so the nightly rate on your dates decides it. Rates vary by day of the week, events and season, so price both for the same nights.

What moves the total is the room you pick. Paris’s 38 balcony rooms are scarce, so book early, and a Versailles room buys more space than a Burgundy room. At Planet Hollywood, an Ultra Resort room adds roughly a third more space than an Ultra Hip room. Caesars Rewards Platinum members and above also save on parking at both. If the fee itself is the sticking point, Horseshoe next to Paris charges $49.95 plus tax.

Which is better for couples?

Paris, for most couples. You get the Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck, dinner on the tower’s 11th floor, Mon Ami Gabi’s Strip-front patio and the chance of a Versailles Balcony room. Planet Hollywood is the pick for couples who want a soaking tub by the window (the Ultra Resort Vista room) or a round soaking tub in the Ultra Hip Strip Suite, with a show in the building. Our list of romantic hotels in Las Vegas features both room types.

Which is better for families?

It depends on the kids’ ages. Paris’s two-acre pool is the draw for younger children, it’s open to all ages, and kids 14 and up can visit the Eiffel Tower deck without an adult. Planet Hollywood spells out its family policies: children 17 and under stay free with a parent, two-queen rooms sleep up to four, and rollaways, cribs and connecting rooms are available on request. Teens get the FlowRider. Our guide to family hotels in Las Vegas has more options.

Which is better for nightlife?

Planet Hollywood. PH Live, Criss Angel and Chippendales are in the building, the South Pool is 21+, and the bar lineup includes 50 Cent’s Candy Shop and the DJ nights at Caramella Hidden Lounge. Paris is a quieter night: free weekend cabaret, Cheri Rooftop’s late-night bar and a cocktail at Vanderpump à Paris.

Which is better for first-time visitors?

Paris, for most first-timers. It’s the postcard version of Vegas, Caesars Palace is a short walk away, and the indoor route to the monorail makes the rest of the Strip easy to reach. Choose Planet Hollywood instead if your trip is built around shows, shopping or events at T-Mobile Arena. Our first-timer’s guide to Las Vegas covers the planning basics.

What about Horseshoe?

Horseshoe, next door to Paris and connected by the interior walkway and SkyBridge, is the cheapest of the three on fees at $49.95 plus tax (as of October 2026), and the monorail station is on site. Its Resort Rooms measure 450 square feet (renovated in 2018), some are sold with a fountain view, and it has the World Series of Poker Hall of Fame Poker Room.

The catches: Blu Pool opens only Friday to Sunday (on weekdays Horseshoe guests can use Pool à Paris), standard bathrooms have a shower but no tub, and the incidental deposit is $50 a day. Choose Horseshoe for value, poker and the monorail; Paris for the pool, theme and dining; Planet Hollywood for shows, shopping and 585-square-foot Ultra Resort rooms. Our Horseshoe Las Vegas review has the details.

Which should you book?

Choose Paris if you want the classic center-Strip stay: an indoor walk to the monorail, a two-acre all-ages pool, the Eiffel Tower and the stronger restaurant lineup, or a balcony room for a special trip. For most first-timers and couples, it’s the better hotel for the same fee.

Choose Planet Hollywood if room size, shows and nightlife matter more than theme. You get 430 to 450 square feet in an entry-level room (585 in an Ultra Resort room), PH Live and Criss Angel in the building, a 21+ pool section and the Miracle Mile Shops, at the cost of a walk to the monorail.

Either way, compare the total for your dates, including the fee and tax, against our list of the best hotels in Las Vegas.

Not indoors. The two are close neighbors at 3655 and 3667 Las Vegas Blvd South, but neither lists an indoor connection to the other. Paris connects indoors to Horseshoe and the Horseshoe & Paris monorail station, while Planet Hollywood connects to the Miracle Mile Shops. Planet Hollywood’s FAQ puts the walk through Paris to the monorail at 10 to 15 minutes.
