Editorial Review

Hipped-up outpost of the rock n' roll franchise, catering to rebellious celebrities and party-minded singles. The beach-styled pool complex remains one of Vegas' best, with a tanned and toned crowd partying until the wee hours in the white-curtained cabanas. One of the keys to the Hard Rock's liveliness is the constant rock music, piped through the hallways, underwater in the pool, and throughout the small, circular casino. While the Hard Rock has fewer gaming tables than most other casinos, it's always jumping with a rowdy clientele decked out in their best Vegas glam for a see-and-be-seen weekend. The rustic-sleek Rock Spa and the adjacent Brannon Salon are there for the pampering, while the health club offers guests a chance to take out aggressions in boxing classes. Rooms feature French doors opening onto miniature balconies and range from minimalist standards to high-design luxury suites all ornamented with moody black-and-white photos of rock royalty.
