Vegas Aladdin morphs into Planet Hollywood

The Aladdin casino in Vegas has had its fair share of ups and downs. In fact, it’s been more down than up since it was first built back in 1962, and was even blown up back in 1998 to make way for a shiny new $1.4 billion 2,567 room mega-hotel that opened in 2000. However, despite all the cash pumped into it, it still never made money, and went bankrupt back in 2003.
Now, though, things are changing, as last year it was bought by Planet Hollywood for “just” $600 million. The Aladdin name is no more, as the name Planet Hollywood now beams out where once it stood.
Other than that, and a few pieces of scaffolding, there doesn’t seem to be much difference, but apparently, it’s about to get a huge new makeover.
