Hard Rock Hotel & Casino

...singles in their 20s and 30s looking to party, bachellor/bachellorette parites, good drinks, good looking people, etc. If you are looking for great gambling, great food, and romantic and quiet time, go somewhere else.... Families should NOT stay here. OK, the circle bar rocks literally until about 8 am, Baby's is OK, nothing really special about it. You should check it out once and spend the rest of the time at the circle bar and casino. The pool scene is the best in Vegas. Lots of great looking people. Rooms are basic but clean and just fine.....Definitely go there if you are looking for this type of scene! Pros: Best singles scene, Great 20s/30s bar, Good music Cons: Expensive drinks, Small casino, Loud more

There is no reason to stay anywhere else but the Hard Rock if youre young (25ish-30ish) and looking to party. This is not a place to take a child. I went for my bachelor party in June (106F outside), and was blown away. Beautiful people everywhere, great music and decor, amazing pool (the swim-up casino is a mixed blessing). Make sure you hit the gym for a month or two before you go. Some of my friends were not impressed by the food, and theres no buffet, but I had no issues with Luckys or Pink Taco. Quintessential moment: 6am Sunday morning, the casino and central bar are still PACKED. Go. Enjoy. Party hard. Pros: young, loud Cons: loud more

Hard Rock remains the hands down hippest hotel in Vegas. Many are surprised to learn that it isn't actually on the Strip. That's really the only drawback is its non-Las Vegas Boulevard location. Other than that, everything else rocks. The Joint attracts top name musical talent, the vibe is young and cool, and the gaming is great. Pros: hip vibe Cons: not on the strip more

I expected this casino to be a haven for 18 year old black tee shirt motor head rockers but was pleasantly surprised. Although there is a younger crowd here, it doesn't dumb down the action- it just informalizes it a bit. The Sports Bar is more intimate than other sports book venues and although the bartender on the night I went was indeed too green (dropped glasses, no social skills), the patrons were saavy locals and travelers who were inclined to conversation, given the small scale of the bar. Thanks in part to their shared wisdom and experience, I cashed in on the Derby so this place holds a special place in my wallet- I mean, my heart....Attention management- you have some potential to build here if you can get strong staff behind the bar. Pros: size, intimacy, privacy Cons: bartender more

I've stayed here several times while in Vegas on business. The crowd is younger and more fun than at some of the other hotels. The rooms are large and comfortable and there's a great little diner downstairs that serves the most incredible malts and burgers. Love the decor and the pool. Pros: pool, spacious rooms, price Cons: location more

The minute you walk inside you know that you are going to have a blast. The sceen is for young hip women and men. Every where you look all you see is smiles. If you go no where except here in las vegas you won't miss a thing... more

The fun crowd is less mixed than most casinos and tends towards sassy twenty-to-thirty-somethings, with plenty of bachelor and bachelorette parties thrown into the mix. While its a little out of the way, there are plenty of clubs, restaurants and tables to keep you busy all night. The craps tables are especially fun...when you're on a roll. Pros: fun crowd Cons: out of the way more

You won't find any floral bedspreads or wispy beach-themed watercolor prints in your room at the Hard Rock. It's a great choice if you're looking for something modern. The rock and roll theme is everywhere, including the elevators, which feature leather walls and loud music. Staying here does not place you in the middle of the other Vegas action, though you really need to take a cab to get to the Strip. The hotel is also surprisingly accommodating if you're planning a business conference in the hotel. more

I was pleasantly surprised by the rooms at the Hard Rock. The decor is sleek and modern with cool rock and roll touches (the hallway lighting fixtures are actual drum cymbals). The service is friendly, and the vibe is laid-back. The only drawback is it's a bit of a hike to get to the Strip. more

The Hard Rock is the cool place to stay -- no doubt about it. It had somewhat of an intimate feel before the expansion, but now that's lost a bit. Still, the rooms are great -- spacious and with a big TV. The pool is cool. The casino is fairly hip and packed with young folks. Pros: Hip ambience Cons: Getting too big more
