Planet Hollywood Layout: The Miracle Mile Shops, the Casino Floor, and the Cosmopolitan Walkway

Quick summary: Planet Hollywood is the Strip casino where the mall is wrapped around the gaming floor instead of beside it. The Miracle Mile Shops — a fully enclosed 475,000-square-foot mall with about 1.2 miles of storefronts — form a horseshoe around the central casino floor (roughly 68,600 sq ft) and carry most of the property's Strip entrances. The 39-story hotel tower (about 2,496 rooms) rises on the north side, and PH Live, the 7,000-seat headliner theater, sits to the south. A second-level pedestrian bridge through the Miracle Mile Shops connects indoors to the Cosmopolitan next door in about 8 to 12 minutes. Self-parking and valet are both off Harmon Avenue at the rear — not from the Strip.

The site has been a casino since 2000, when the second Aladdin opened here (the original Aladdin was demolished in 1998). Caesars Entertainment rebranded it Planet Hollywood on April 17, 2007, and reskinned the old Desert Passage mall into the Miracle Mile Shops. What didn't change was the bones of the layout: a shopping loop wrapped around a casino, with the Strip frontage handed mostly to the mall. That single design decision is why first-time visitors lose their bearings here more than at almost any other mid-Strip property — you don't walk into a casino, you walk into a mall, and the casino is somewhere in the middle of it.

The trick to Planet Hollywood is to stop treating the Miracle Mile Shops as a separate place. It isn't a mall next to the casino; it's the hallway system of the casino. Once you anchor on the gaming floor at the center and treat the mall as the corridor that rings it, the property gets a lot simpler.

Planet Hollywood Layout: A Casino Inside a Mall

The property sits on the east side of Las Vegas Boulevard at Harmon Avenue, occupying the block between the Cosmopolitan to the south and Horseshoe Las Vegas to the north. From the Strip sidewalk you see a wide, modern facade with multiple entrances — and that's the first source of confusion, because some of those doors lead into the casino and others lead into the Miracle Mile Shops. From above, the complex reads as a large rectangle: the Miracle Mile Shops form a horseshoe-shaped loop along the south, west (Strip), and north edges; the casino floor sits in the pocket of that horseshoe; the hotel tower rises over the north end; and PH Live anchors the south.

The single most useful thing to understand is that the Miracle Mile Shops are the corridor system, not a side attraction. The mall is fully enclosed, climate-controlled, and roughly 1.2 miles of storefront end to end. It carries the Strip-facing entrances, the bridge to the Cosmopolitan, and the most direct indoor paths between the casino, the theater, and the hotel lobby. If you ignore the mall and try to navigate the casino floor alone, you'll keep hitting walls of shops; if you treat the mall as the hallway, everything connects.

The horseshoe loop

The Miracle Mile Shops loop isn't a straight mall — it curves. Walking it end to end takes you in a long arc that bends back toward where you started, which is exactly why people feel lost. Three landmarks break the loop into manageable thirds: the Strip-side entrances on the west edge, the casino-floor openings on the inner edge (these are your way “inward” to gaming, the hotel lobby, and the theater), and the Cosmopolitan bridge on the upper level near the south end. If you know which of those three you're heading for, the curve stops mattering.

A note on the theater name: PH Live has been rebranded repeatedly over the years — it has carried the names Theatre for the Performing Arts, the PH Theater, The Axis, Zappos Theater, and Bakkt Theater before reverting to PH Live in 2025. If you bought tickets under an older name, it's the same 7,000-seat room on the south side of the property.

Finding What You Need

The casino floor and the hotel lobby

The casino floor sits in the center of the property, reached through any of several openings off the Miracle Mile Shops' inner edge. The hotel lobby and the main guest-room elevator core are on the north side, beneath the tower. If you're checking in, head for the north end of the property near Harmon Avenue rather than the Strip-side mall entrances — arriving through the Strip doors drops you into the shopping loop and adds a few minutes of weaving to reach registration.

PH Live theater

PH Live, the 7,000-seat headliner theater, is on the south side of the property off the casino floor. On show nights the fastest approach is the south-side casino entrance rather than walking the full mall loop. Follow signs for the theater from the casino floor; if you've come in through a Strip-side mall entrance, cut inward to the casino floor first, then head south — don't try to follow the mall loop all the way around to the theater.

Restaurants and the food hall

Dining at Planet Hollywood is split between the casino floor and the Miracle Mile Shops. Sit-down restaurants cluster along the inner edge of the mall and around the casino perimeter; quick-service and food-hall options line the mall corridor itself. Because the mall carries most of the food, “where's the restaurant” usually means “which arc of the loop” — check whether your destination is on the Strip side, the south (theater) side, or the north (tower) side before you start walking, since backtracking the curve is the main time-waster here.

Restrooms

Casino-floor restrooms are near the center of the gaming area and along the inner edge where the mall meets the floor. The Miracle Mile Shops also have their own restrooms spaced around the loop, typically near the larger anchor stores and the food court. If you're in the mall, the nearest restroom is usually a mall restroom rather than a walk inward to the casino floor.

The pool

The pool deck is on an upper level above the casino, accessed from the hotel tower elevators on the north side — not from the casino floor or the mall directly. If you're a hotel guest heading to the pool, go to your room-elevator core first; the pool access is keyed off the guest-tower elevators rather than reached through the Miracle Mile Shops.

Getting Around: Exits, Parking, and Rideshare

Strip-side entrances

Planet Hollywood's Las Vegas Boulevard frontage has multiple doors, and most of them open into the Miracle Mile Shops rather than directly onto the casino floor. That's fine if you're shopping or passing through, but if you're trying to reach the gaming floor, the hotel lobby, or the theater, expect to cut inward off the mall once you're inside. There's no single grand porte cochere on the Strip the way there is at a tower-forward resort — the Strip side is the mall's face, and the resort's vehicle entrances are around back on Harmon Avenue.

Self-parking

Self-parking is in a 10-story garage attached to the property on the north side. The garage entrance is off Harmon Avenue, reached via Audrie Street behind the resort — not from Las Vegas Boulevard. From the garage you walk in through the Miracle Mile Shops to reach the casino floor and hotel lobby, so allow a few extra minutes for the indoor walk. Self-parking is paid for both guests and the general public, with Caesars Rewards rates lower than the public day rate; confirm current rates at the gate or in the Caesars Rewards app.

Valet

Valet uses a covered drop-off on Harmon Avenue with direct access to both the casino floor and the Miracle Mile Shops. Because the Strip side belongs to the mall, valet on Harmon is the most direct vehicle path to the gaming floor and hotel lobby. Valet is paid for both guests and the general public.

Rideshare

Uber and Lyft pick up at a designated rideshare zone on the Harmon Avenue side near the self-parking garage rather than on the Strip. Drop-offs sometimes use the Strip-side entrances, but pickups are routed to the Harmon side to keep Las Vegas Boulevard clear. Follow Rideshare signs from the casino floor toward the north/Harmon side of the property. Rideshare zones can shift on event nights at PH Live, so confirm the pickup point in your app or with a bell-desk attendant.

Las Vegas Monorail

Planet Hollywood doesn't have its own monorail station, but the Horseshoe/Paris Station on the Las Vegas Monorail sits just to the north. Walk north along the Strip past Harmon Avenue and the Horseshoe frontage, then follow Monorail signs to the station on the east side of the Paris/Horseshoe complex. Plan 12 to 15 minutes from the Planet Hollywood casino floor to the platform. The monorail runs north to Westgate and SAHARA and south to MGM Grand — useful for crossing larger Strip distances without a rideshare in heat or on event nights.

Common Navigation Mistakes

Treating the Miracle Mile Shops as a separate building. The mall is the corridor system of the casino, not a neighbor. If you're looking for the casino floor, the lobby, or the theater, the answer always runs through the mall — so orient on the loop rather than expecting a casino-only hallway.

Walking the loop the long way. The Miracle Mile Shops curve back on themselves. If your destination is on the far side, cutting inward across the casino floor is almost always faster than following the mall arc all the way around. Use the casino floor as a shortcut through the middle of the horseshoe.

Entering from the Strip to check in. The Strip-side doors mostly open into the mall. For hotel check-in, the lobby and tower elevators are on the north side — arriving via the Harmon Avenue valet or the garage puts you closer than walking in off Las Vegas Boulevard.

Looking for self-parking off the Strip. The garage is on Harmon Avenue (via Audrie Street) behind the property, not on Las Vegas Boulevard. Driving to the Strip frontage looking for parking sends you on a detour around the block.

Missing the Cosmopolitan bridge. The indoor connection to the Cosmopolitan runs on the upper level through the Miracle Mile Shops, not across an obvious outdoor bridge. If you're heading to the Cosmopolitan, stay on the mall's upper level near the south end and follow the signs — it's easy to walk right past it on the ground floor.

Connections to Other Casinos

To the Cosmopolitan (south, indoor via the Miracle Mile Shops)

The Cosmopolitan sits directly south of Planet Hollywood, and the two are connected indoors. A second-level pedestrian bridge runs from the Cosmopolitan into the Miracle Mile Shops, which wrap around the Planet Hollywood casino floor. The whole route stays climate-controlled and runs about 0.4 miles — roughly 8 to 12 minutes depending on where you start and how busy the mall is. From the Planet Hollywood casino floor, head to the upper level of the mall on the south side and follow signs for the Cosmopolitan. Because the path threads through the shopping loop rather than a plain corridor, it's one of the less obvious indoor connections on the Strip — we cover it step by step in our guide to the hidden connections between Vegas casinos.

To Paris Las Vegas and Horseshoe (north, outdoor Strip walk)

Paris Las Vegas sits one block north on the same east side of the Strip, past Horseshoe Las Vegas. There's no indoor connection northward — exit onto the Las Vegas Boulevard sidewalk, cross Harmon Avenue, pass the Horseshoe frontage, and continue to the Paris entrance beneath the Eiffel Tower replica. Plan 8 to 10 minutes on foot. Horseshoe itself is the closer of the two and connects onward to Paris via an indoor cobblestone walkway once you're inside, so on a hot day you can duck into Horseshoe and continue indoors to Paris from there.

To Aria, Bellagio, and the west side of the Strip

Aria and CityCenter sit across Las Vegas Boulevard to the west. The most reliable route is to continue south through the Cosmopolitan, then use the CityCenter connections — the Cosmopolitan links to Aria's side of the Strip via the pedestrian network around CityCenter. For Bellagio, which sits to the northwest, the cleaner path is the Strip-level pedestrian bridges at the Flamingo Road / Las Vegas Boulevard intersection just north of the property. Plan 12 to 18 minutes depending on the destination, and expect some outdoor sidewalk time on the west-side crossings.

Wheelchair, scooter, and stroller access

The Miracle Mile Shops and the casino floor are level, smooth, and step-free throughout, so wheelchair, scooter, and stroller access across the property is generally good — the mall corridor doubles as a wide, flat indoor route. The self-parking garage connects to the mall at-grade, and the Harmon Avenue valet drop-off is step-free. The second-level Cosmopolitan bridge through the Miracle Mile Shops is reached by escalators, with elevator availability worth confirming with a mall information desk or bell-desk attendant on arrival. The pool deck is on an upper level reached by the guest-tower elevators, which are wheelchair-accessible.

Navigation Tips

• Anchor on the casino floor, not the store names. The Miracle Mile Shops loop curves, and store names won't tell you which way you're facing. The casino floor at the center is your fixed reference point — head “inward” to it whenever you're turned around.
• Cut across the casino floor instead of following the mall loop. If your destination is on the far arc of the horseshoe, the straight line through the middle (the casino floor) usually beats the curve.
• For check-in, head to the north (Harmon Avenue) side. The lobby and tower elevators are there. The Strip-side doors open into the mall, not the front desk.
• Self-park and valet from Harmon Avenue, not the Strip. The garage is off Harmon via Audrie Street behind the property; the Strip frontage is the mall's face.
• For the Cosmopolitan, stay on the mall's upper level. The connecting bridge is on the second level near the south end — easy to miss from the ground floor.
• For Paris and the north Strip, you're going outside. There's no indoor route north; the Strip-side sidewalk past Horseshoe is the direct path, about 8 to 10 minutes to Paris.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the layout of Planet Hollywood Las Vegas?

Planet Hollywood is built around a single ground-level casino floor (about 68,600 sq ft) that sits inside a horseshoe formed by the Miracle Mile Shops, a fully enclosed 475,000-square-foot mall with roughly 1.2 miles of storefronts. The mall wraps the casino on three sides and carries most of the property's Strip-facing entrances, so visitors usually pass through or alongside the shops to reach the gaming floor. The 39-story hotel tower (about 2,496 rooms) rises on the north side above the casino, with its lobby and elevator core off the casino floor. PH Live, the 7,000-seat headliner theater, sits on the south side. A second-level pedestrian bridge through the Miracle Mile Shops connects directly to the Cosmopolitan next door.

Why is Planet Hollywood so confusing to navigate?

Because the mall, not the casino, is the main circulation layer. At most Strip resorts the casino floor is the hub and shops line the edges; at Planet Hollywood the Miracle Mile Shops form a horseshoe-shaped loop wrapped around the casino, with about 1.2 miles of corridor and 170-plus storefronts. Several of the property's Strip entrances open into the mall rather than the casino, so you arrive into a shopping loop and have to find your way inward to the gaming floor, the hotel lobby, or the theater. The loop also curves back on itself, so it's easy to walk a long arc and end up near where you started. Using the casino floor at the center as your anchor — rather than the store names — is the fastest way to stay oriented.

How is the Miracle Mile Shops connected to Planet Hollywood?

The Miracle Mile Shops (formerly Desert Passage) is built directly into Planet Hollywood — the mall wraps around the casino floor rather than sitting beside it. The 475,000-square-foot, fully enclosed mall has roughly 1.2 miles of storefronts and carries several of the resort's Strip-facing entrances. From inside the mall you step directly onto the Planet Hollywood casino floor at multiple points, and the mall also houses the second-level pedestrian bridge that crosses to the Cosmopolitan. In practical terms the mall and the casino are one continuous indoor space, which is why the property can feel like a shopping center with a casino in the middle rather than the other way around.

Is Planet Hollywood connected to the Cosmopolitan?

Yes, indoors. A second-level pedestrian bridge runs from the Cosmopolitan into the Miracle Mile Shops, which then wraps around the Planet Hollywood casino floor. The full route is climate-controlled the entire way and runs about 0.4 miles, roughly 8 to 12 minutes door to door depending on where you enter and how busy the mall is. Because the connection passes through the shopping loop rather than a plain corridor, it isn't always obvious — follow signs for the Cosmopolitan (or for the Miracle Mile Shops if you're heading the other way) and stay on the upper level near the bridge. Step-by-step directions are in our guide to the hidden indoor connections between Vegas casinos.

How do you get from Planet Hollywood to Paris Las Vegas?

Paris sits one block north of Planet Hollywood on the same east side of the Strip, past Horseshoe Las Vegas. There is no indoor connection — exit onto the Las Vegas Boulevard sidewalk, head north, cross Harmon Avenue and then the Bally's/Horseshoe frontage, and continue to the Paris entrance beneath the Eiffel Tower replica. Plan 8 to 10 minutes on foot. If it's hot or you'd rather stay indoors, you can duck into Horseshoe and continue to Paris via the indoor cobblestone walkway between them. The Horseshoe/Paris monorail station also sits just to the north if you're connecting to the wider Las Vegas Monorail.

Does Planet Hollywood have valet and self-parking?

Yes, both. The self-parking garage is a 10-story structure attached to the property on the north side, entered from Harmon Avenue (reached via Audrie Street behind the resort) rather than from Las Vegas Boulevard. From the garage you walk in through the Miracle Mile Shops to reach the casino floor. Valet uses a covered drop-off on Harmon Avenue with direct access to both the casino and the mall. Both valet and self-parking are paid for guests and the general public, with Caesars Rewards rates lower than the public day rate. Confirm current rates at the gate or in the Caesars Rewards app.

Where is Planet Hollywood Las Vegas located?

Planet Hollywood is at 3667 South Las Vegas Boulevard, on the east side of the Strip at the Harmon Avenue intersection in Paradise, Nevada — a mid-Strip location between the Cosmopolitan to the south and Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas to the north, with Aria and CityCenter across Las Vegas Boulevard to the west. The site opened in 2000 as the second Aladdin and was rebranded Planet Hollywood on April 17, 2007. It is operated by Caesars Entertainment. The resort is built into the Miracle Mile Shops and connects indoors to the Cosmopolitan via a second-level pedestrian bridge through the mall.
