The Hard Rock is the type of place you want to stay at when in Sin City.  It's fancy and expensive and makes you feel like you're in Vegas. I had a big ass room with a big ass 50\"" plasma screen and it made working in Vegas that much easier. When I turned on the 50\"" plasma for the first time the in-house music channel was playing Social Distortion, which I took as a good sign.\n\nHowever, it's funny that they have complimentary pencils in the rooms instead of pens; I suppose you have to minimize The Hard Rock debauchery somewhere and at some level.\n\nThe only downside of my stay was the room next door to mine was occupied by Rap type dudes who blasted their \""music\"" insanely loud for 2 of the 3 nights I was there.. but when you stay at The Hard Rock that's what you have to expect.  I'm not a rookie:  I had earplugs.\n\nAlso, unlike me, most of the patrons could give two sh*ts that they were standing next to a Gold album award for Molly Hatchet's 'Flirtin' With Disaster' album.
