Planet Hollywood’s Hoops on the Strip

Overall a great job by PH! Keep it the same and we ll come back next year.

Not worth the money! The beer is all draft (Coors & Miller, not the best) but on the firs day they were offering bottle beer and then after they switched bartenders, the new bartender said bottle beer was not included. The bartender was rude because it was slow, and they were not making money. Over the last three years this event has went down hill and its crowds have went away as well! Other venues are offering the same things for ($150) and are also including liquor, soda and bottle beer. This event has went up in price and the offering have went down. The buffet was bar food and was typically served all day but now they stop serving food between 2:30-5:30pm. Something needs to be done to bring the crowds back. This event was typically sold out everyday but not this year! I had tickets for Friday as well but never attended because I was disappointed from the first day. I did swing by on Saturday and Sunday and it was a ghost town! Please make changes so your crowds comeback. Will not attend again if nothing changes. Changes must be done because the current layout is not worth it

I've been coming to this event since it's infancy and the atmosphere for watching March Madness games is amazing. The only drawback is that the cost goes up each year while the quality of the event stays the same. This year we scaled back to just one day due to the cost and to our experience last year. The food was bad last year and this year they served the SAME FOOD for lunch & dinner....If I'm paying $150 just to get into the event they should at least offer a meal change to accommodate the guests. Next year let's try to include well drinks, wine, and an updated food menu. If the cost keeps going up I think we'll migrate to another viewing party. There are plenty of places that offer free entry to watch games.

After attending the event over the last 6 years, I wanted to give it one more try! The event was just like the year before! It was over priced for draft beer (Coors and Miller Light) and average bar food, and the place was dead. The first day they did offer bottle beer until they switched bartenders. The new bartenders said that bottle beer was not part of the package. I was like that is so strange because the bartenders before you were providing us with bottle beer, and he said Well that s them not me! He contacted his manager to see, and his manager told him that it was not included so go back to draft beer! It was obvious that the bartenders didn t want to be there because they were not making money because it was very slow! This event is a joke now! The crowds are leaving to other locations that are providing the same items for a cheaper price, and are offering bottle beer, liquor, sodas and better food in their packages. I cannot believe they are charging individuals for sodas! The food this year was average but they stopped serving food for three hours, and other years it was always out. I had tickets for Friday but I went somewhere else and just let my tickets go to waste. The person who is in charge of putting the event together needs to be let go because it has been horrible the last three years, and I truly see nothing changing for the event next year! If you want crowds to comeback, fix the issues that have been the same for the last three years!

Great idea and potential but several fatal flaws as to why I wouldn't do it again or recommend it to others. The price point is way too high for just domestic draft beer only and very bad buffet food. Also the set up itself is awful. Rows of chairs like a seating for a bad lecture is not a comfortable environment to watch 12 hours of basketball. Need tables for everyone not just roped off VIP. There is too much competition out there for this to be a top choice so unless they make the changes and advertise it I would expect and encourage a major drop off in attendance and reviews. Also no one at hotel property could provide any insight before hand on how the set up would be and that is very upsetting for a major hotel and high money charge. Starting to seem like a cash grab only

It's hard to get your $150 worth by eating chicken fingers and drinking coors/miller light. price needs to come down.

Cost too much for what you get in return. The buffet is less than appealing and hasn't changed in the last few years. You can only stomach so many hot dogs and at $150 per day, they should be providing better food options. They also have taken bottled beer away and only offer Miller and Coors draft beer for the $150 entry fee. It would be nice if they offered bottles and mixed drinks for that price. We have decided we won't be attending this event in future years,after attending for several , unless the price and what you get for that price changes.

I have been going for 4 years and the food has been bad every year...attendance keeps dropping. You need to figure out how to improve this event!

Hoops on the Mez was a pretty good setup. They had tables up there so you could gamble without going down to the casino. Food was like ball game food. Adequate for sure. Beer was cold. Draft was free at beginning, then they started to give away free bottles as well. It was worth the money for sure. I would go again.

This was the worst purchase I ever made. They are 149.99 each and it is explained you have seating drinks etc. For 150 you get to sit in a chair that is a banquet style with nothing Infront of you to set a drink on. They place is full of casio guests that get mixed drinks same style chair but at least a table to set your drink on or look at a sheet of paper. Drinks (mixed) are 9.00 each. The Buffett has few items on it and only twice a day for a few hours. Do not buy this ticket, I have never been so disappointed in my life.

March Madness is always great. Been doing the same event at Planet Hollywood for a few years now. This year, they raised the price to $150/day. This included watching the games on some huge screens, a boring buffet, and draft beer. Price is now way too high for what you get. Even if they buffet was nice and premium liquor was served, it would still be over priced. This might explain why it didn't sell out, and by Friday, the crowd was dwindling and atmosphere low. No better time to be in Vegas than March Madness, but they need to go back to the way they used to do it.

Food was pretty bad. This event has gone downhill.

After reading the reviews I was a bit nervous about plopping down the money for this. I'm glad I did. Is it worth it?? Well, if you're only trying to figure out if you will consume $150 worth of beer, hot dogs and chips, no... it's not worth it. The value is in the environment. Giant room. 8 giant screens. PLENTY of seats. We were only there on Thursday and even during the peak of the day I'd say only about 60% of the seats where occupied. There is a sports book right there so you can bet and collect. You can come and go as you please all day... You left but need another beer? Just walk in, get your beer and leave. To be clear, the food is "meh" at best. Hot dogs. Sandwiches (pretty good). Tortilla chips with some different salsas. Potato chips. Desserts. etc... In the morning they had bagels, muffins, etc..

Overpriced for watching the first Saturday of March Madness. Food was cheap but plentiful. Same to the beer. $150 for this was way overpriced.

overpriced, terrible beer and forgettable food. I think would be worth about half the price. If you sat there and drank all day betting with 2-3 meals and heavy drinking probably would be a better deal to just post up at one of the bars.

Good concept, but poorly designed. For $150, would expect improvements as follows: 1. Better food: cardboard chxn strips not acceptable & chips?! 2. Chairs were uncomfortable: try theater seats. Hard to sit in a metal chair for 8 hrs straight. Upside: ample visibility on projector screens; ease of betting; drinks accessible.

I have been to this event before & I had a good idea what to expect: mediocre food, plenty of seating, games almost everywhere. So, when I purchased my tickets for this year's event, I was a bit off-put that the price went up $50 from the previous year. I was REALLY disappointed when I came to find... It was the EXACT same as last year! Hell, it was less, for more money, actually. 2 years ago Clyde Drexler stopped by, and last year, Robert Horry. This year, again, for $50 more, we get... Nobody. I will not be returning to this event at the current price.

Way over priced for what one gets! The Hoops on the Mezz at Planet was the place to be but over the last two years the price went up and the service went down, and crowds have went away with it. They need to rethink this because other hotels are doing it better and cheaper now.

Food was poor, made me physically ill later that evening. The seats themselves were good, but WAY too far away from the TVs, and had to put plates and cups on the floor. The event wasn't terrible but certainly not worth $150 and won't be returning next year.

Have been attending for the last 8 years. Used to be free and pay for drinks, now with a charge that continues to rise each year. Their cutting back, this year no bottle beer only draft. Your better off sitting in the book. Don't waste your money.

The price doubled from 2013 with the same food, no improvements. $150 for a place to sit with hot dogs is clearly not worth it. The short lines for the betting station actually isn't a benefit, that's outside of the paid area.

When I think about March Madness NCAA college basketball & then I think of VEGAS! I've been attending this event for the last 5+years and it's a great setup but each year the price goes up. There are a few things that I would change that would make this experience that much better. Upgrade the projectors (they're the same ones that have been in use for years), move the audience closer to the screens, add well or premium bar included in the package cost. Add more servers/waitresses that could take drink orders. Add a temporary LED screen at the pop-up sportsbook that could display up to the minute lines & 2nd half prop bets. Every other hotel has this option but for some reason PH hasn't caught on. The food is below par and it has been for years...Make some small changes and don't raise the price each year and this event could be even better than it already is.

This was my 3rd year going to Vegas to watch the NCAA tournament. My group of friends has tried a different viewing party each year. Hoops on the Mezz was definitely not worth the $150. It was held in a large ballroom with hundreds of seats packed side by side. The large projection TVs were about a 100 ft away. I had to stand up or move around since people were constantly going to/from their seats and blocking the view. Breakfast consisted of muffins and Danishes. Lunch buffet was fried chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, chips/salsa, and 2-3 other sides. There was all you can drink bud/coors/miller lite. In summary, views of the game weren't that. I'd rather eat fast food than what they served. It might be worth $50-$75 but not $150. I'd rather buy admission to a place with great views of the game for $50 (e.g., Cosmo) and spend $100 on better food/drinks.

We did this event Thursday and Friday last year and had a great time. Good setup for watching the games. The food was lousy, but there was free bottled beer all day. This year, we decided to go back despite a $30 increase in price. They had the same awful food and switched to draft beer. Biggest ripoff ever at $150 per day. We didn't even go up there on Friday despite having purchased the tickets. We won't be back next year unless they make some changes, and I would recommend anyone else avoid it as well.
