Review of the Hard Rock Hotel
and Casino
 |
Hotel / Accomodations
-Overall, I
really liked the Hard Rock. An excellent
choice for the young at heart. The Room
was spacious, and had an AWESOME view that
overlooked their incredible pool as well
as the entire Las Vegas Strip. The room,
hallway, and casino were decorated with
Rock Memorabilia from AC/DC to ZZ Top.
The
room: It was a typical hotel room,
with various rock related pictures where
your might normally see cheesy paintings
in other hotels. The view was great from
our side, but obviously there is another
side of the hotel, so when you make reservations,
make sure you ask for a room overlooking
the pool-side.
The
Pool: The pool was incredible. They
have a man made beach that slopes directly
into the wrap around pool. They also have
a water slide that tunnels through giant
rocks and empties into the pool. It provided
some unique fun for the kids and us.

Also, there is an area of swim-up
Blackjack tables, a waterfall, and a separate
pool for the kids.
The Casino:
I think I can sum up the casino in one word. Small.
It appears that the casino was more of an afterthought
for this establishment - but we all know that
is far from the truth. It did have all the usual
comforts of a Las Vegas Casino: Blackjack, Pai
Gow, Slots, Craps, SportsBook and when we arrived
late Wednesday night it was relatively empty.
BUT, when we returned late Friday night, it was
a mob scene due to the popularity of the club
and shows!
The Food:
We ate at Mr. Lucky’s late on Wednesday night
and again late Friday night.
Wednesday:
The service was adequate and the food was tasty,
but the table was dirty. After we got over that,
(we never really got over that) we decided to
order. I had the Fajita Salad, a Vanilla Shake,
and the Fire grilled Chicken Nachos. The Shake
was incredible. They used ice cream with real
vanilla beans. The Chicken nachos were great.
They had home-made chips and a spicy cheese sauce
with just the right amount of chicken. The Fajita
Salad was not so good. The meat had good flavor,
and the salad was filling, but there was WAY too
much cheese. Half my plate was covered in a mound
of cheese - don’t get me wrong, I like cheese,
but this was ridiculous.
Friday:
Much busier than Wednesday night and we had to
wait for a table, but it was also much cleaner.
The service, again was adequate, and the food
was tasty I had a Coke, a Bacon Cheese Burger,
and the Fire Grilled Chicken Nachos (yes, they
were that good). The Burger was good, but it was
no Tavistock burger. (Tavistock is a country club
in New Jersey, and by my accounts has the best
Burger I have EVER had.)
P.S. This is said to be frequented
by the late night crowd - particularly some night
club dancers come here for after-hours.
