Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Review

This sprawling resort is a living tribute to rock 'n' roll—with rock tributes and exhibits everywhere, it's impossible to forget you're in the Hard Rock: even the carpeting's decorated with musical notes. A new north tower, dubbed the Paradise Tower, opened in the summer of 2009, and an all-suites south tower, dubbed HRH Tower, opened in January 2010. Across the board, rooms are adorned with sleek furnishings, Bose CD-stereos, and flat-screen plasma TVs that show continuous music videos on one channel. The new poker room's a big hit among serious card sharks; the concert space, The Joint, features great national rock bands. The Hard Rock's pool area—dubbed Beach Club—is a tropical beach-inspired oasis with a floating bar, private cabanas, and swim-up blackjack, and doubles as a favorite filming location for popular TV shows. Very crowded (but fun) public areas offer plenty of opportunities for people-watching. It's possible to score reasonable rates here on weeknights, but be warned; despite direct competition from other hipster-heavy hotels in town, many staffers still retain a healthy helping of arrogance.

    Best Beds

    I really enjoyed the very comfortable beds at the Hard Rock Hotel. You just sink down and surround yourself with all the down feathers. The decor is excelent. My only complaint would be the shower that leaks out into the toilet area. I did have something of value stolen out of my room which has never happened before and security did take a statement but I have never heard back anything. Unfortunately the only other person to enter my room was the cleaning lady. Hopefully they have tightened their security with the staff. The people that checked us in and out were VERY slow and were not very helpful with some questions we had. Other than that the hotel itself is excellent.
