**NOTE the VERY restrictive Outside Food Policy**\n\nThe hotel is nice and the staff is okay.  You must be wondering why the two star review then.\n\nThe biggest beef I have is their outside food policy.  I understand not being able to bring things in to a restaurant or concert venue but not have never been denied bring some snacks and drinks to my room.  I did know the policy going in but we wanted to stay the night there after a concert.  Below is the outside food policy and note that it excludes ALL food except medicine and a small cooler for kosher foods.\n\n\""In order to maintain a safe environment, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino prohibits coolers; boxes; bags; or other containers for the purpose of transporting food and beverage on property. In addition, all outside food and beverage is also prohibited.\"" \n\nThe guy at the elevator searched everyone going up and I witnessed someone having an unwrapped candy bar taken away.  The guard really embarrassed the guy to and threatened to have him kicked off the property for violating the outside food policy.  \n\nThis is the reason I rate this place two stars.  It is their attitude not to allow you to bring any food or drink to your room. I would be okay with them restricting things but to exclude everything is insane.  I would have liked to bring some snacks and beverages like I do for every other hotel stay.
