I cannot rave enough about the great time I had at the Hard Rock Hotel Casino. I am a very novice gambler. I used to only stick to the slots, but my husband is coaxing me into playing Craps. We went to the craps table early on a Tuesday so I could get a feel for it. We stood back and watched for a little while. My husband jumpeind and played. Unfortunately the table was cold at the time. I was still very nervous about actually getting in the and playing. The dealers (and even the other patrons at the table) started helping me and explaining the game to me a little more. Everyone was so nice and so helpful that I finally felt comfortable enough to actually play. I didn't win anything, but I had a great time and am dying to go back tonight and try my luck again!

ive never stayed in the hotel, cant comment on that, however ive been in the casino many times.

on weekdays/nights, its just another casino. on weekend nights this place rocks! its more like a nightclub that happens to have a casino than it is a casino. the place is small and it gets packed. the gambling seems secondary, tons of people are just milling around checking out the scenery of the opposite sex. table minimums are high and thier rules are not all that favorable. if you want to gamble, go elsewhere. want to party, this is your spot.

"the joint" inside the hardrock is a great place to see a concert!

The Hard Rock casino is small and I have found the dealers to be less than friendly. While playing Pai Gow, the dealers will almost scold players on how to set their hands, which can be a very subjective matter. And I have seen more mistakes by dealers at the Hard Rock (not recognizing winning hands, etc.) than at all other casinos combined. I do like the loud rock n roll music blaring constantly, and the drink ladies are good. But be advised that some of the dealers seem to think that they are the rock stars.
