It still doesn't really look like her. Celine's face is a lot thinner... I think the only thing that resembles Kate in that picture is the hair.

Duuuude pack in as much stuff as you can! Stay away from the Planet Hollywood hotel... I'm so angry they took over the Aladdin. I went in there, it's so boring now compared to how it was. Sad

Yeah, Planet Hollywood bought it out and now instead of it being like a whole other world when you walk in.. it's just a random building like any other. It's not even interesting to look at.

Old Aladdin
Spoiler:


Interiors... Mainly from the Desert Passage








Planet Hollywood...

Spoiler:



We go from the Desert Passage to Miracle Mile

The Paris one is cool, we went up the tower, mind you ive actually been all the way up on the actual eiffel tower and that was exciting Very Happy

I was up there, too... it's freakin awesome.... such a beautiful view!

The Mirage is not a bad place at all.... they redid their buffet a few years ago and it is a lot better now. I saw the Beatles Love show there and it was amazing!

a few clips from Love.... this video doesn't really do it justice at all, though...

...

They redid it. It's awful. I hate it and I think whoever bought the Luxor out should be pushed of the top of the pyramid.

This is how it used to look....

Spoiler:









The outside still looks similar. But when I was there they were gutting the inside out.
