Getting around the Strip from Planet Hollywood
Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino sits on the east side of the Las Vegas Strip with direct access to Miracle Mile Shops, so walking to nearby Strip sights is the easiest option. For longer trips, use the Las Vegas Monorail (station within a 10‑minute walk), the RTC Deuce tourist bus, or rideshare/taxi services for direct point‑to‑point travel.

Where you are — quick orientation
Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino is located at 3667 Las Vegas Blvd S on the east side of the Strip and is directly connected to Miracle Mile Shops. The Bellagio Fountains are across the Strip and the Paris Las Vegas Eiffel Tower replica is about a 2–3 minute walk from the resort.
Because the property sits mid‑Strip you can reach many major resorts and attractions on foot. An open‑air pedestrian bridge also connects Planet Hollywood with The Cosmopolitan, and the pedestrian flow along this stretch is usually heavy in evenings and on weekends.
- Address: 3667 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV 89109.
- Connected to Miracle Mile Shops (direct mall access).
- Bellagio Fountains about 0.2 mi / 350 m from the front door; Eiffel Tower replica ~2–3 minute walk.
| Nearby landmark | Approximate walk |
|---|---|
| Miracle Mile Shops | Directly connected |
| Bellagio Fountains | ~0.2 miles |
| Eiffel Tower (Paris Las Vegas) | 2–3 minutes |
Best walking routes on the Strip
Short walks are often faster than driving between adjacent resorts because of traffic and curb pickup/drop rules on Las Vegas Boulevard. Use the pedestrian bridge to cross to The Cosmopolitan; head south along the Strip to reach MGM Grand or north toward Caesars/Colosseum in about 8–15 minutes depending on pace.
Inside/around Planet Hollywood, the Miracle Mile Shops provide an indoor route to restaurants and retail without crossing the Strip; follow signage from the main lobby or the casino floor to enter the mall.
- To walk to Bellagio Fountains, exit the resort toward the Strip and cross using the marked crosswalks or pedestrian bridges.
- To reach Caesars/Colosseum, walk north along the east sidewalk past the pedestrian bridges; allow 8–12 minutes on foot.
- Use the connected Miracle Mile Shops for indoor walking to restaurants and shops without Street crossings.
| Destination | Typical walk time |
|---|---|
| Bellagio Fountains | ~5–10 minutes |
| Caesars Palace/Colosseum | ~8 minutes |
| The Cosmopolitan (via bridge) | ~5 minutes |
Public transit options — monorail and RTC buses
Las Vegas Monorail: the Bally’s / Paris station is within about a 10‑minute walk from Planet Hollywood and runs along the east side of the Strip. The monorail is a separately ticketed system; RTC bus passes do not work on it.
RTC Deuce / Strip buses: the Deuce double‑decker bus runs the length of the Strip and is a common and affordable choice for visitors who plan multiple stops; passes are available for 2 hours or 24 hours.
When using public transit, check hours and ticket types before you travel — fares and schedules can change, and the monorail and RTC systems are operated separately.
- Monorail: station near Bally’s/Paris, within a 10‑minute walk.
- RTC Deuce: runs up and down the Strip; buy a short or day pass depending on itinerary.
- Monorail and RTC passes are not interchangeable.
| Service | Good for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Las Vegas Monorail | Faster runs north/south on east Strip | Separate tickets required |
| RTC Deuce bus | Frequent stops along Strip | Affordable day/2‑hour passes |
| Walk | Short trips between adjacent resorts | Often fastest for very nearby attractions |
Taxis, rideshare and airport transfer tips
Taxis and rideshare (Uber/Lyft) operate throughout the Strip and are useful for door‑to‑door trips, luggage, or off‑Strip destinations. They tend to cost more than public transit but are faster and more direct. The property does not provide a hotel shuttle to the airport.
From Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) the fastest option is usually rideshare or taxi (typical drive time varies with traffic). Shared or commercial airport shuttles are another option and run from the airport baggage claim area; check current schedules and pricing before you travel.
- No hotel-operated airport shuttle is listed in available sources.
- Rideshare/taxi: fastest direct route to/from the airport, travel time varies with traffic.
- Commercial airport shuttles leave from baggage claim roughly every 15–20 minutes (per local shuttle operators).
| Option | When to use it | Typical advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Rideshare/Taxi | Direct trips or heavy luggage | Point‑to‑point speed |
| Commercial airport shuttle | Budget option to/from airport | Lower fare than private car |
| Public transit (Route 109) | Cheapest connection from airport | Longer travel time but lower cost |

Day trips and longer excursions from the Strip
Popular day-trip destinations include Hoover Dam (roughly 33 miles), Red Rock Canyon (about 17 miles west), and the Grand Canyon West Rim (roughly 120 miles). These trips are usually done by rental car, guided tour, or private transfer.
If you prefer guided excursions, the concierge or tour desks can arrange day trips and provide current pickup locations and times. Driving times vary widely with traffic and seasonal conditions, so plan for extra travel time when scheduling an afternoon or evening activity.
- Hoover Dam — commonly combined with Lake Mead visits; roughly a 30–45 minute drive.
