Access to the strip via the mall is super convenient and made it easy to access Bellagio, cosmopolitan and planet Hollywood casinos.

The four stars: great mid-Strip location, no smoking, no casino (but gamblers have an easy indoor walk to Planet Hollywood).

Parking is free and the location is near the major casinos and hotels on the strip.

nice resort and swimming pool, easy access to other hotel casino, fine restaurants around, the mall step away and resort provide 2 -16 oz starbuck coffee or 2 bottle of water. .

Planet Hollywood's Casino is connected via the mall offers more restaurants & gambling without even having to walk outside in the 100+ heat.

The locations is perfect, near all restaurants and casinos.

although there is no casino on site planet Hollywood is easily accessible and practically on site would definitely stay again.

It is connected to the Miracle Mile which connects to the Planet Hollywood, so it is a short walk to the casino or the Strip.

This hotel is right on the strip inside the Miracle Mile Mall so right next to casinos and shopping and the strip.

This means easy access to shopping, restaurants and a casino if you wish.

Excellent Hilton property, with convenient location to the strip and the Miracle Mile Mall, shops, restaurants, and casino.

It’s in a prime location on the strip, near some great casinos and restaurants, the Starbucks is convenient.

Great location - close to shopping and casinos.

The resort exits into the mall and there is a casino and plenty of varied and reasonable priced restaurants, bars to choose from and  without going outside.

Resort’s location is excellent, close to the strip, Casino, Shopping and Restaurants.

Elara is very convenient to the strip, no smoky casino to walk through.

The mall connects to Planet Hollywood so a casino is close by.

The Elara is a good location as it's only a 10 minute walk to the strip and easy walking to a number of Casino's with Planet Hollywood just outside the Elara.

Highly recommend this hotel with easy access to parking, shopping , and casinos.

The resort was on the strip, connected to Planet Hollywood with a fabulous connecting mall.

The best part was that it's connected to a shopping mall that provides several options for eating/dining & shopping.

It is directly connected to the mall, so all types of quick hit the places for coffee, restaurants, snacks and some shopping without getting out on the strip.

Amazing location right next to Planet Hollywood, connected by the Miracle Mile mall.

The Elara is conveniently connected to Planet Hollywood and the Miracle Mile on the Las Vegas Strip.

but has a perfectly sized pool and is connected to the shops.

It is connected to the planet Hollywood casino and magnificent mile mall.

Rooms were amazing high end and within walking distance to the strip centrally located connected to inside mall close to airport upper floors great view Rented 2 bedroom a and b side for 3 couples king size bed with queen bed and 2 pull outs each side could sleep 8 large space in main  unit wife was impressed usually bored with average units

but the room was connected to the 1 bedroom suite and they used the coffee pot there.

The vibe is amazing and love that it’s connected to the miracle shops when we get hungry and don’t feel like going down the strip.

The hotel is connected to the Miracle Miles Shops and Planet Hollywood with many restaurants to choose from. 2.

Being connected to Miracle Mile makes shopping and food convenient and economical.

The Elara is a modern high-rise with all of the amenities, connected to the Miracle Mile indoor shops and restaurants.

It is a short Uber ride from the airport and connected to the Miracle Mile shopping and Planet Hollywood Hotel/Casino.

Proximity to Vegas strip:  The property is well located mid-strip, about halfway between the MGM and Bellagio, and connected to the Miracle Mile Shops and restaurants.

It is connected to the miracle mile shops (oceans one is a great restaurant) and planet Hollywood.

but we didn’t even have to go outside since the property is connected to the mall.

The location is perfect - connected to Planet Hollywood Casino, and within walking distance of all the other major casinos on the strip.

The location was fantastic -- right on the strip -- and we loved that it was connected to the Miracle Mile shopping center (and Planet Hollywood) which helped us avoid walking outside in triple-digit temps, plus there were convenient food options within the shopping center.

It is a beautiful property in a great location.

Finally, they try to sell you a time share during check in…don’t fall for the  “welcome package”

Having said that, the location was great,  minutes from the strip, and there is a Starbucks in the lobby.

We have stayed at The Elara multiple time always enjoy the property and location on the strip.

And on top of all of that, we were in the most incredible location.

This is our timeshare location and is great for short trips.

The Elara offers a 5 star accommodations and great location in the center of Las Vegas.

For staying on the strip this location is absolutely perfect.

Overall, it was good because of the service and location.

Convenient location with everything you need being attached to the Miracle Mall.

Given how hot it was in Vegas - it was nice that the hotel was located or had direct access to a number of shops  and restaurants that make up the miracle mile mall.

Overall we loved the location and the rooms.

On calling the front desk/ guest services, we were told that construction was happening in the lobby and we could get ear plugs!!

The phone system is about to be “upgraded” in a few hours, so the only way to reach the front desk is in person…in line behind the gazillion people waiting to check in.

I do as I always do in a room check out the cleanliness, the whirlpool tub had a ring around it, the body wash was empty and the coach was horrible…upon siting on the couch you sunk straight down it was very uncomfortable.

Finally on my 4th call I was informed there would be no room cleaning during my 3 night stay.

Knowing how hard it is to trace the source of second-hand smoke, and with it being my last night, I didn't bother to call the front desk

but at least one phone call during our stay to check on us or “schedule” a cleaning  like other resorts on the strip would have sufficed .

I told them to call housekeeping, and they said housekeeping wouldn't answer them.

We had to use the living room plugs for our phones and then some of those were worn as well.

Dust on the lamps, dust on the bathroom mirror, dust on the phones, dust on the coffee machine, dust on the tv remote controls, etc.

We had to call 4 times to tell them we wouldn’t be arriving until midnight because our flight was delayed and only  on the 4th time did we find a person who could actually find out hotel reservation.

but no one has more than 2 bars on cell phone.

but I had to call Hilton when I hadn't received it three days later.

Rather than the local staff offering to do anything about it, they said we’d have to call customer service!

Wednesday I again had to call and was frustrated knowing I only had 1.5 days left and still no service.

There was not enough light by the closets in all of the rooms, had to use the flashlight on my phone to see what clothes I was picking out.

But don’t tell me “no problem” and then have me pay, get here, and after I have told you in three phone calls all I want is a view - put me looking straight into a parking lot.

It took me almost 2 hours after being bounced between DIAMOND Desk and Hilton VCB or whatever they call it, I finally got the feeling of a ping pong ball to stop and spoke to someone at the front desk that I would arrive last night, and he noted the folio for my arrival.

I went back to the hotel, and they're like, "Oh, we don't have a security desk. You have to call them."

It is also great to be able to go down and have a direct entrance to the Miracle Mile shops and restaurants, as well as only about a hundred yards from the Planet Hollywood Casino and all it has to offer.

Great location can go shopping at the miracle mile shops and get to Planet Hollywood casino.

The Planet Hollywood casino is a short air-conditioned 5-min walk away.

Walk right out the hotel into the mall to excellent food, shopping, and Planet Hollywood casino.

The Planet Hollywood Casino is just steps away, so you could gamble as much as you liked,

Beautiful non smoking clean resort within walking distace to the Mile Marker Mall, daiquiri shops, high-end shopping, plenty of dining options, Planet Hollywood casino, & entertainment.

The hotel is in a good location right above the Miracle Mile shops and next to the Planet Hollywood Casino.

It’s connected to the Miracle Mile shops, which also connects with Planet Hollywood casino.

Hotel is central strip was a short walk to MGM the lobby exits right onto Miracle Mile shops and Planet Hollywood casino also Cosmo is across street which is very plush and huge sports book.

Another added benefit of this facility is its close proximity to both the Planet Hollywood Casino and the Miracle Mile Mall.

This property is centrally located and connected to the Miracle Mile shops through which you can reach the Planet Hollywood casino if you want.

The Elara is has a great location directly behind the Planet Hollywood Casino and connected to the Million Mile Mall.

even though this property doesn’t have a casino, we played at the attached Planet Hollywood casino.

The plusses include the location, attached to the Miracle Mile shopping mall, and an air-conditioned walk to the Planet Hollywood casino, right on the strip.

Well laid out with direct access to the mall, zappos theatre and Planet Hollywood casino.

With the Miracle Mile shops and Planet Hollywood Casino and Elara pool and center strip location this HGVC resort is a Fabulous anchor point for an outstanding vacation.

Attached to the Miracle Mile mall and Planet Hollywood Casino, it made everything convenient.

It's an easy walk through the adjoining mall to Planet Hollywood casino and the rest of the Strip.

This room was also self contained so we were able to wash and dry clothes and prep some meals.

Overall, nice room, property and location.

The rooms were modern and spacious and the beds were comfortable.

We stayed 7 nights and on the 4th morning the room was cleaned, fresh sheets and towels.

Our rooms were clean, quiet and very comfortable.

Our room was immaculate and had the most incredible view of the desert mountains and the ever-entertaining sphere.

We requested a room that faced the new Sphere and got the perfect corner suite.

We will be excited to see the new upper floor rooms when they are open for booking in 2024.

Our room was beautiful and front desk was quick to respond.

Have to constantly beg to get fresh towels—not even asking to have the room cleaned,

Specific to our room, everything worked well and as expected, a glorious view of Las Vegas on the 53rd floor.

The views were amazing, and the room was clean and comfortable.

The room was very clean, large, and fully equipped.

Is it a nice place and a nice room - absolutely!

Fortunately, no sewage smell and by then the TV system was working again.

This is a non smoking hotel and you do not have loud music or noises like most casino resorts do.

The janitor’s entire bottle of enzymes was no match for the stench.

(Janitor had to come up with a bottle of “enzymes” to “eat the bacteria.” I asked why there are bacteria and he replied “because it’s drains”).

In addition my bathroom and entryway had the daily scent of marijuana coming from the bathroom vent.

But, I was very disappointed because I met with Patrice the receptionist at the front when I checked in, the lady looked down at me and told me don't smoke in the room or we will charge the fee.

My mother-in- law had to wear a mask because it was affecting her breathing.

Our room had a raw sewage smell so bad that they had to move us from 2 different room.

However, once we turned on the AC, the smell is not there. 2.

However, The room smelled like rotten eggs or worse.

(I will note, too, that the shower on the 33rd floor did not drain too well. But, there were no sewer smells that another poster mentioned.)

Additionally, we experienced a nasty sewer gas smell in the master bath our entire stay.

It was strange because my family and I smelt the same smell in the miracle mile shops, so maybe it’s something to do with the entire building/area?

The whole mall smells like a cross between sewage  and fried foods (like you would smell at a State Fair) and there are a LOT of shady looking people hanging out there.

We also had to sign a no-party document and were advised of the penalty fee for smoking in the room!

!., Not what I was expecting from a Hilton property, and for the price, I paid over $3000 dollars for 3 nights, just to get my family exposed to MOLD!

Dirty beat up brown doors
Extreme mildew smell in the carpet hallways
Broken air unit in room 
Dirty refrigerator 
Broken DVD
POOR QA QUALITY IN ROOMS 
As a Elara owner I was extremely disappointed in how much money I paid Hilton for ownership…..these specific floors are being managed as a Motel 6 business model, quickly turnover rooms with no quality inspection.

Elara is the nicest by far due to the fast elevators, pool, room size, employees, free parking and proximity to the strip.

The proximity to the Strip and reasonably priced food in the attached Miracle Mile Shops (Planet Hollywood) is unbeatable (La Salsa is cheap and delicious + $.99 bloody Marys!).

Stayed in a 2 bedroom on the 55th floor with a great view of the strip.

It was a spectacular view of the strip with the sun coming up over the mountains.

Great hotel, conveniently located just off the strip,

The location is at the end of the strip away from the major entertainment.

Starbucks option for breakfast on site, proximity to Miracle Mile shops and restaurants and just steps away from the strip.

The location is great, a shopping mall connects it to planet Hollywood which leads to the centre of the strip.

It is in a good location near the center of the strip with a mall that adjoins it to Planet Hollywood.

since we this issue with the room , we could spend time in the room Resort location was good , close to the strip, and Restaurants -so we spent majority of the time outside or staying in the Lobby .

The Elara is an amazing facility, well maintained, knowledgeable staff, and close to the strip without the noise of a casino.

Great location on the strip and close to everything… Thank you for making our first trip to Vegas a great experience!!!!! !

We had a choice between two hotels and I chose the Elara because it's located right on the strip and within walking distance to most everything.

It was close to the strip… the mall was a great access point to the strip.

Right there on the south end of the strip and close by everything there.

Parking is free and loved the closeness to the strip.

It is walking distance to most everything on the strip and it is attached to the Miracle Mile Shops which is nice

It is centrally located on the strip near the Miracle Mile shops.

Loved that we were close to the strip as well.

Being attached to a mall makes it great for meal and shopping options as is its proximity to the strip.

The staff were great - hotel was super amazing & glad we experienced being close to the strip.

The 3 bed king suite was so spacious it easily accommodated my family of 5 and views of sphere and centre strip were awesome.

From the higher floors (we were on 23) there are great views of the Sphere (north facing rooms/odd numbers) or the MGM, Luxor, Excalibur, etc (South facing rooms/even numbers).

Fast elevator to top floor with a great view of the surroundings.

The rooms are very nice, I stayed in a studio with kitchenette amazing views and super clean.

Our view from the 51st floor was fantastic!

The floor to ceiling windows provided beautiful vast Vegas views (Hint: get an upper floor).

So the good/amazing - our room was on the 56floor and the view was perfect day or night Vegas always gives you a fab view.

We had a great room with a fabulous view on the 31st floor.

So, four guys got to comfortably crash in a "3 BEDROOM 3 KING SUITE WITH SOFABED" with some brilliant views.

There is no doubt about it… this property is beautiful, the 1 bedroom suites are roomy and have fantastic views, and I am glad I gave the Elara a try.

The room had a great view, space for everyone and a full kitchen.

The views from our room were magnificent.

We had a car, we parked at the PH Garage that is connected with the shopping center and hotels.

We enjoyed the shops and restaurants connected to the hotel.

I'm apart of Caesars rewards and Planet Hollywood has been my go-to Las Vegas hotel for a long time now (even when it was the old Aladdin hotel, loved it) because it had a younger vibe, great music, fun entertainment, nice hip rooms, great casino floor, connected to the Miracle Mile Mall, and great location in the heart of the strip.

Planet Hollywood is in a center strip location, and it is connected to the Miracle Mile shops, where there are many other great places to eat and shop.

Connected to the Miracle Mile shops so there is so much to do without even leaving the hotel!

Connected to the mall, easy to get to the strip, great restaurants, and the casino was amazing!!!

Loved that the miracle mile shops were connected to the hotel.

Good drink and food prices can be found here, and it is easily accessible due to being connected on several sides to the casino floor.

The pros of this hotel are as follows: 

It is on the middle of the strip 
It is connected to miracle mile shops.

but PH still is the absolute best for convenience and accessibility, being connected to the Miracle Mile shops and everything.

Great bonus being connected to Miracle Mile shops and extra places to eat.

I always loved their center strip location, connected to the Miracle Mile Shops for access to food and diversion.

If you’re interested in shopping, the Miracle Mile shops are connected to the property.

Planet Hollywood is connected to the Miracle Mile Shops and restaurants, the Elara Hotel, and just steps away to everything we could need, on the strip and all the iconic Hotels and casinos.

Called help desk and was connected to a 3rd party outside USA.

I connected to the Wi-Fi as a guest after I settled in, and all three days, every time I would pick up my phone the Wi-Fi has kicked me off and I had one bar in that room the entire stay.

My experience has always been fun and exciting.

Friendly, hard working waitresses in the casino and fun atmosphere.

This trip I booked two nights at the end of my stay because of the location and I do like the overall fun vibe of Planet Hollywood.

Our stay was pleasant and the atmosphere was fun and safe.

The casino area is so UPBEAT and funky fun!

The decor had a fresh and fun vibe and the staff was very courteous and helpful.

They have a fun vibe, ridiculously loud music, and pretty good cocktail service.

The casino is easy to navigate thru - casino  is a fun atmosphere and the mall is attached next door.

Nice and fun vibe with cool and modern music playing at the casino area.

however just increased the fun atmosphere they have .

Casino staff is courteous, slots are generally looser that other strip casinos and the music pumped thru the casino adds to the fun atmosphere.

Really great place center strip and fun atmosphere .we had 5 nights of fun gambling and shows and a great place to people watch did really well playing blackjack not to much on the slots

Fun atmosphere and very friendly employees!

Casino was lively, minimum table bets around $10 - $25, variety of slot machines, good music and a relatively fun atmosphere.

It was fun, Love the outfits the dealers wore, they were fun and sexy.

Fun atmosphere for gambling with plenty of gambling tables and slot machines.

Booked 4 nights, 2 rooms (Ultra hip King Mountain View) = US$2480 total.

Booked a newly remodeled ultra hip king room.

We had the basic Ultra Hip non smoking room which was clean and there was a working fridge.

Unfortunately what was once a pleasant, relaxing, sharp, and hip place to stay has fallen off over my last few visits and it may be time for me to move on.

Sometimes the music is still good (younger vibe playing hip hop and dance music)

We had an ultra hip king room which had a great view
