After nearly 30 years on the Las Vegas Strip, the Planet Hollywood Restaurant and Bar inside the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace has closed, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The Las Vegas Strip restaurant permanently closed on the afternoon of Wednesday, May 25. The restaurant initially opened in the Forum Shops back in 1994. In 2012, it relocated into a 9,200-square-foot space on the mall’s third floor. The restaurant was known for its casual dining, but moreso for the celebrity memorabilia that covered the walls.

Alexandra Lourdes and Lin Jerome have opened their fifth location of the cafe, which is known for its tea party aesthetic, fruit-topped toasts, and sprinkle-infused coffees.
