So I was doing a little Las Vegas recon the other day. See, Liz and I are planning a trip to Los Angeles this summer to see some of my peeps, and because of the free frequent flier mile tickets, we're going to have to stay in LA a little longer that we had first planned. But that's totally cool, there's lots to do in and around LA.
Or we talked about taking a drive to San Diego. Or to San Francisco. Or just up the coast a bit. Or even to Vegas.
Because, as you might assume, by that point we'll terribly miss the Dubai summer weather. Las Vegas in August is just about the closest we'll be able to find to that in the the States.
Anyway, I was checking on hotels in the greater Vegas area, and I didn't see the Aladdin anywhere.
Turns out last week they were rebranded the Aladdin as the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino.
Odd.
Yeah, Planet Hollywood, as in the 1990s restaurant chain owned by Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone.
But why?? That company is a complete mess, I mean, they've gone bankrupt twice. There are only six Planet Hollywoods left in the U.S.! Is this even a viable brand anymore?
