I read that they are bringing in a little over $500,000 for each of her "performances" or whatever the fuck you call what she is doing up there.
So she's personally getting about 60% of the money. But I guess that the $200,000 PLUS all the publicity for Planet Hollywood is worth it to them.
A lot of people don't know (and neither did I until I moved here and researched the history of Vegas), but Planet Hollywood is actually the old "Aladdin" Casino in Vegas.
They tore Aladdin down and rebuilt it. It was originally built in 1962.
It had to be imploded in 1998 due to structural requirements.
Once it re-opened it never was able to be successful. And Planet Hollywood bought it and changed the sign and took out the "Arabian Nights" theme inside.
So it's kind of an "older" property in a sense. Not really designed to keep up with places like The Cosmo. And even though Caesars Palace is old (from the 1960's), they've managed to keep it kicking ass with big name stars playing there.
So I guess that's what Planet Hollywood is doing too.
