Aladdin (hotel and casino)

Aladdin was a hotel and casino resort on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada, United States. The property originally opened in 1962 as the Tally-Ho, was later known as the King's Crown, and adopted the Aladdin name in the mid-1960s. Its history was marked by financial difficulties, ownership changes, and periods of closure. The original resort closed and was demolished in 1997. A newly built Aladdin resort opened in 2000, but it did not achieve the expected financial performance and entered bankruptcy protection in 2001. The property was subsequently sold and redeveloped, eventually becoming Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. The Aladdin brand is no longer operating.

The history of Aladdin Hotel and Casino dates back to 1962, when the Las Vegas Strip property opened as the Tally-Ho. It was later renamed the King's Crown before adopting the Aladdin name. The resort used an Arabian-themed identity and offered hotel accommodation, casino gaming, and entertainment, but encountered licensing, financing, and management difficulties during its early years. Through the late twentieth century, the property went through multiple closures, ownership changes, and restructurings. The original buildings closed and were demolished in 1997. A newly constructed Aladdin resort opened on the site in 2000. The new operation attempted to restore the brand through a large integrated-resort format, but its financial performance was weak and it filed for bankruptcy protection in 2001. The property and related assets were subsequently sold, and the Aladdin brand left the market. After further redevelopment and repositioning, the site became Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.
