Hard Rock vs Palms : Vegas Battle Royale

Hard Rock
Las Vegas Off Strip
Blow by blow:

LOVE the Casino.... great vibe..... great music.... superior eye candy.The rooms are quite nice and reasonable ... especially off season!

Went there on a Wednesday night, and wow....what a party place! Body English was playing GREAT trance that night, and even though it was dark, it was a great nightlcub. One of the best I've been at.The casino area is loaded with rock memorabilia. Just walking around it was really cool. The edgy motif, the loud, but small casino, good music playing.....it all adds up to my kind of place! There was a live music room, called "Wasted Space" I believe, which had a decent rock/pop band playing, but was way too crowded. Could barely walk in the door...happy to take your $$$ cover charge though. grrrrr.

This is my favorite of all resorts. Great music, bars, games, food and above all the pool.

Worn RoomsShitty Location (anything off strip I consider shitty)Fantastic Vibe (if you are young or want to pretend to be)Has one of the top 3 clubs in Vegas (Body English)Fun, decent dining optionsFun Center BarGood size for large group of people so you dont constantly lose people

Accomodations are average. What makes this joint a keeper is the young, party, fun atmosphere that seems to permiate the entire property. In my opinion, has the highest concentration of young beautiful people in Vegas. Casino is very loud and kicking. If thats what you want...this is the place. Be sure to gamble in the Hells Belles blackjack pit...very sexy, hip, and fun.

Always great blackjack action here, and the scenery (Hot Babes) ain't bad either !

A bit disjointed from the strip, but the HRH Tower wins a resortcation vote anyday.

loud, noisy, and crowded. the most wicked pool parties. you're not paying for the amenities when staying here, you're paying for all the eye candy downstairs. btw- the hot chick with sunglasses on top of her head sitting by herself @ 3am isn't really checking you out. she's actually "working"

Definitely stay till Tuesday during the summer, you can't miss Rehab on Sunday, best pool party in Vegas. If not, go to Relax on Monday. I'll be back.

A small fun Casino with good restaurants and outstanding nightclubs - Check out Body English on "School Girl Sunday"; When any lady in a school girl uniform gets free drinks all night long and from the looks of things the shorter the skirt, the stronger the drinks. Rock on Rockers !

Rooms are nice but a bit average, bed is fantastic, what really makes this place is the rest of the resort ie staff, bars restaurants, clubs and pool, a single persons dream!

Was there in march 2009.
Great ambiente, with the fantastic pool area and the rock star stuff in the casino. Nice Pole Dancers on weekend ;-)
Good House Club named Body English.
- no buffet
- off strip

I have had the best of times and the worst of times....
New rooms are very nice. Improvements to players club and video poker schedules help a lot. Always good music.
Downside is that the staff can often make you feel like you are not one of the beautiful people (I'm not, but I do not need the reminder!)

Okay, so the location isn't the most desirable. Take a cab and spend an evening there. Tons of rock n roll memorabilia if you're into that sort of thing. Heard about the not-so-secret $7.77 Special at Mr. Lucky's (steak, shrimp, and baked potato, and a salad for under 8 bucks)? Skip it. You get what you pay for, and you'd be better off ordering from the menu then forcing that piece of shoe leather down your gullet. That being said, the casino pretty much rocks. Hard. (Get it? Ha ha ha). Lots of attractive people to watch while you're laying down your life savings on the felt. If you want to rock n roll all night and party every day then the Hard Rock is worth the trip.

On nights when something is happening, this place is outrageously expensive. On slow nights, you can get a real bargain on one of their mod sophisto rooms, but the place will be real dull. This is the one big casino resort that is walking distance to the froot loop, but it's too far to walk to and from the strip.

TOP NOTCH!!! Hip, clean and FUN!!!!! The place to see all of the young beautiful people. tie between Palms and Hard Rock for best bar to see the most plastic surgery results!

You will never see me with a copy of People, bc I simply do NOT give a shit if Britney is driving drunk with a babyseat on the hood, but out here, even I love to star watch, and Palms is the palce for it. Good luck has followed me in the casino here also.

So what if it's off strip? Ask for a room in the fantasy tower and prepare to relax.
The bathrooms are massive. The beds are very comfortable. Room service is affordable (!). Casino is big, but feels cozy. Design is comfortable. And the tables are lucky.

Consistently great meals at Little Buddha. The casino and clubs are a lot of fun.

Wow. I need to be way younger to run with this crowd. I look at them and chuckly quietly to myself, been there, done that, tread lightly and you'll go farther kids.

Have friends that live here, and they sware this place treats locals and mid class tourists very well.

Great casino... ok dealers and servers. Rooms are nice but a little pricey though.superior bars and a fun place to hanglousy comp program for the players club

It's hip. It's funky. It's pimp. It's The Palms, baby!
I must admit I have a soft spot for this joint. I always seem to win in the casino. Simon at Palms Place is my new favorite Sunday Brunch spot. The clubs here are sexy and always bursting with action.
All in all, this is what the ideal "Ultimate Vegas" casino looks like.

skyvillas and the hardcourt suite are reasons why god invented the American Express Black card. if you ever find out that you are terminally ill and only have 3 days to live, i'd suggest on getting one of the fantasy suites in the new tower and run up your credit cards by partying it up here. service is almost non-existent unless you're royalty from dubai, hollywood celeb, or at minimum a purple chip player. if you are a rap video director, the pool area is the place to be to look for new talent.

Like the gaming area. Always has a buzz around it. Rain was cool when I was there in 2005.

A fun place to party. Playboy Club, Ghostbar, Rain, and Moon all have nice views of the Las Vegas Strip. The Palms boasts some of the best restaurants in town, and the best video poker and slot machine odds near the Strip. Stayed in the Fantasy Tower. Furniture looked new. Bed was very comfortable. Flat screen TV. In-room safe. Pool was closed for winter. Biggest downside is you need a car to get to the Strip.

Stayed in the Director's Suite during the AVN weekend in 2010, and took a tour of the one of the suites with the outdoor pool hanging over the hotel. The room was amazing, and we had a great time hanging out there on that Saturday night. The casino was full of energy and I ended up shooting dice with Flavor Flav.
That being said, it was a great place to visit, but I don't think I would stay there for an extended amount of time.
