Theatre, nightlife and shows at Planet Hollywood
Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino hosts a wide range of evening entertainment on-site and steps from the Strip — from headline concerts and residency shows at the 7,000-seat Zappos Theater and a 1,500-seat Showroom to late-night DJ sets and live music in casino bars and lounges. Nearby Strip attractions (Bellagio fountains, Paris Las Vegas Eiffel Tower) and numerous restaurants make it easy to plan a full theatre-or-nightlife evening.
