Hard Rock - The Real Deal :
After losing its hard earned crown of being the hippest joint in Vegas to the Palms and then Encore, the Hard Rock has poured a bajillion dollars re-do(uche)ing nearly every square inch of the property, including building two brand new hotel towers (Paradise Tower and HRH Tower) and expanding The Joint venue, and redoing nearly all of its restaurants. The end result is that the Hard Rock looks more like a hip boutique hotel with a flourishing casino, nightlife and daylife options and a helluva lot less like a Guitar Center with slot machines.
The Hard Rock is exactly where you don't want to be if you're tripping, like for reals. Guests silhouettes morph into a sea of predator males and barbie dolls prancing around in overpriced zoot suits. Let's get down to brass tacks, how much for the Monkees drum set? Whatever your chemicals, the Hard Rock is a grrrreat place to get some action... and we don't mean gambling... it was the 2005 Trippies Award Winner for Best Place to Get Laid!
We love what they've done with the place and we think that you will too.
Hard Rock History
Built in 1995, the Hard Rock was known for decades as the place to party and was commanding upwards of $600/night for standard hotel rooms on weekends. Hard Rock virtually invented the concept of "day life" with its Rehab(!!) pool party and ruled night life with killer rock n roll shows at The Joint. Hard Rock is one of the few places in Vegas where real touring bands come to play, stay and get crazy... or worse. In 2002, The Who bassist John Entwhistle died of a cocaine overdose in his room at the Hard Rock. In August 2009, the Hard Rock opened the first of two tower expansions, The Paradise Tower. The HRH Tower opened in December 2009.
Location of Hard Rock:
Off the strip towards UNLV. The Double Down locals bar (the home of "ass juice") is right around the corner, as is any sporting event at the Thomas and Mack Arena. If you are coming to Hard Rock for the evening and don't have wheels at your disposal, plan on taking a cab... the Strip is a helluva lot farther than you might think, particularly when wasted. Plan on waiting in line for a cab too... the taxi line on weekends is incredibly long.

The Rooms at Hard Rock
If you have a choice in what room you are staying at, we suggest you book the brand new hotel towers as the room decor and all the amenities are brand new and state of the art. Paradise Tower rooms and HRH standard rooms are perfect for the repressed TV tossing rock star in all of us. For those looking to up their game to something astounding, check out the four Pool Suites in the new HRH tower... gorgeous, sexy, strange and fun.
Restaurants at Hard Rock
All sorts of stuff... Steakhouse, Japanese, the infamous Pink Taco nyuk nyuk... plus a Starbucks.
Hard Rock Tips
Welcome to Guitar Center Casino, where the walls are covered with cheap guitars signed by the stars. Seriously folks, Kurt Cobain never played a black Squire Stratocaster. The guitar autographed by the guys in Phish? No, its not a Languedoc custom special (as Trey plays) but an off the rack dud straight from the discount section of Musician's Friend.
According to some reality TV show, the Hard Rock has a pretty good pool. In fact, the HR pool is so popular, there is a web cam over looking the pool letting the rest of us poor cubicle farmers watch in envy. There are two pools to choose from, but the most popular is the sandy beach pool. In addition to serving more booze than Jim, Johnnie and Jack combined - the Hard Rock boasts Swim-up blackjack to keep you busy and a slew of cabanas to keep your privacy.
Readers Who Added Hard Rock to their MyVegas Favorites
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.

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.

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!

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.
