The "world's first rock and roll hotel and casino" is many things, but one you
would never expect: tasteful. Sure, the main attraction is the memorabilia -
signed guitars, full outfits of clothing and other items directly from the closets
of rock's biggest and brightest. But even without those items, the Hard Rock
boasts dozens of things that make it unique.
The Hard Rock's concept may be new, but the medium-sized tower (668 rooms),
hardwood floors and lush pool area evoke Vegas past - back when Sin City was
a place for young hipsters (we don't mean preschoolers) to stay and play. The
circular casino feels more like a large, spacious lounge than a cavernous gambling
warehouse. Dining runs the gamut - from cosmopolitan (Mortoni's, Nobu) to loud
and fast (Mr. Lucky's 24/7, Pink Taco) - with little in common from one menu
to the next save great food and service.
Rooms are spacious and handsomely decorated. A pair of lounges host a succession
of pretty people, internationalists and genuine rock stars nightly. A 1,200-capacity
showroom, The Joint, has seen everyone from Steely Dan to The Ramones
take the stage. An "underground" nightclub, Baby's, bears the attitude
of its creator, Los Angeles club icon Sean MacPherson. The pool area is lush
beyond belief. And no other casino in the world could boast slot machines bearing
the likenesses of Jimi Hendrix and Sid Vicious.
Truly a Vegas original, the Hard Rock must be seen - and heard - to be believed.
