PH is actually one of my favorite hotels to gamble at... I also find the rooms decent value for the price and location.
Definitely wouldn't recommend for someone's first time though. Stay at the Palazzo and you will not be disappointed.

What I didn't like about PH and the Aria is this...I go in and want to play some slots. When you're playing you don't have to pay for a drink. And the drinks there are like $8 to $12 for a WELL drink (not even a call brand). Ridiculously overpriced.
BUT...when you are playing a machine on the casino floor the service is TERRIBLE. Takes an hour to get a drink if you're lucky.
So what I usually do, is go to the bar and drop a $20 bill in a video poker machine and order up a drink. I'll play a few hands and then cash out and go to my favorite slot.
But at The Aria, PH, and a few others...the bartender tells you that you have to make the MAX bet to get your drink comped!!! That's bullshit. And you play that max bet a couple of times....you should have just paid outright for the drink.
That's the kind of bullshit that I HATE about the modern "corporate" strip. They don't understand that this city was built on gambling, drinking, and good service.
Unless you are wanting to pay for "table service" at the nightclubs (which is insanely overpriced) it's tough to get good service in this town.
Also was at The Monte Carlo the other week and went to the Double Barrel Roadhouse to check out a band and have a few drinks.
I ordered a screwdriver. Not a call brand. Just a plain old screwdriver. Got my bill...it was $12 for a fucking drink. AND...they PRE-added a tip on it!
That kind of sneaky, greedy shit is why locals hardly ever party on the strip.
I can go down to The Riviera and go to the Casino bar and the bartender will have a drink in my hand in less than a minute and the cost is $2.
THAT guy gets my tip.
