Is ';Aladdin'; about to turn into a construction site?

I just hopped onto the Frommers site and their review of the Aladdin said that Planet Hollywood (new owners) intended to ';rename, remodel and restyle the property';.

Can anyone enlighten me as to when this is likely to occur - or has construction started already? And any hints on how long the revamp is likely to take?

I%26#39;m from Melbourne, Australia, and will be visiting Vegas in October this year (I%26#39;m planning ahead, as you can see!). I was thinking a stay at Aladdin might be fun (and reasonably priced), but should I be looking elsewhere?

Is ';Aladdin'; about to turn into a construction site?

Hi

I%26#39;m already booked for Aladdin in October %26amp; the posts on this forum have been far more informative than my travel agent who has no idea %26amp; in fact didn%26#39;t even know that this was going to happen! I am a bit worried....have stayed in Aladdin before %26amp; really liked it %26amp; am taking friends this time. According to previous posts, work starts this June in the Sports book section of the casino floor %26amp; will carry on in a so called ';pie shape'; around the casino for starters. What I%26#39;ve not been able to ascertain is what is construction is planned for early Oct , ie will the pool, rooms, Desert Passage shops or external fascia of the building be affected?

I got a great deal for Aladdin, now I know why!

I believe that the work will be completed next summer....does anyone know different?

Thanks

Karen
