Planet Hollywood’s poker room is set to close Jan. 31, 2026. The poker room only opened May 9, 2025.
This leaves just 18 poker rooms in Las Vegas, generating a combined revenue of nearly $240 a year.
Scott Roeben of of Casino.org offered his take on why the short-lived poker room is closing so soon:
Why did the Planet Hollywood poker room close? Answer: Softening consumer engagement metrics, underperforming guest participation levels and a misalignment between consumer interest and the operational footprint.
Or, as our fellow youths say, lack of demand.
Personally, we blame the closure on the fact that parking at Planet Hollywood is a nightmare. There’s no way to get from the self-parking garage (no longer free, by the way) to the casino without a sherpa. You literally have to walk through a mall called the Miracle Mile Shops. They don’t mean “mile” as some whimsical marketing hook. It’s a mile of walking to get anywhere.
