There was a $5 fee added to the room charge, but that's not so uncommon these days. For the price, the room was nice. Did not like the mini-bar and 'you move it, you bought it' concept'. The room was clean and spacious. We did have the maid try to enter even with the do not disturb sign on, so do beware and lock the door from the inside. Casino is small and quaint, dealers friendly. The place was a very popular bar scene at night. The pool was impressive. Restaraunts were good.

The weekend of September 15-17th we stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. I ALWAYS stay at this hotel when I go to Vegas becasue it is always a fun time. We put the "DO NOT DISTURB SIGN" on our door. We did not want anyone to enter our room to clean it, or any other purpose. On Sunday we returned to our room to find items missing from our room. Purses, wallets, perfume, makeup, shoes, etc. Over $3,000 worth of stuff. We went to the security desk where we were rudely told that "our maids don't steal" and there will be an investigation, but probably won't find anything. As you can imagine this is VERY insensitive to your guests who are upset about their belongings being stolen. They investigated it and found out that a maid came in our room. Our room was NEVER cleaned and nobody should have entered our room. I understand that investigations take time, but it has been almost 2 months now, and we know who took the items, a Hard Rock Hotel employee. We haven't gotten A THING from Hard Rock, no letter, no apology. NADA!!!!!!! If you do stay here - lock your suitcase up!! Don't leave anything in your room that you don't want stolen, bc apparently its free for the taking for Hare Rock Maids!!!!!!!

Beware the hidden charges!!! Everywhere you look they hit you.
First the rate on the web looks good. Then when you check in and ONLY when you check in after you have signed the Early Checkout $75 payment agreement do they tell you that there are two $5 per night charges automatically added on. 1 for the resort fee and one a shuttle charge. I didn't even know they had a shuttle. Also the rooms have NO glasses in them, so if you want / need a drink of water to take a pill or are just thirsty you have to drink from the sink or open a $6.50 bottle of water. Nice touch. In addition they make you sign a statement that if you bring any food / water into the room they will charge $25 for it.

The room is on par with any Holiday Inn in the country, but no Holiday Inn I have stayed in would put up with the stains on the carpet and furniture.

Go to any one of the many other wonderful hotels in Vegas.. Avoid the Hard Rock.

I stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel in late October, 2006 from Thursday to Monday morning and had a pleasant experience. It is definitely a singles/ young adult hotel. I would say the target ages would be from 21-36. I have nothing bad to say about the hotel at all, it's not my favorite hotel in the world, but it definitely is a great party hotel. I went with a party of seven friends (including myself) and we were put in standard rooms next door to each other. Standard rooms aren't very big, but they're made for sleeping and they were clean and pleasant. The casino was a little smaller than I thought-- but had everything you needed. The pool was amazing, and if it was that good during the fall-- I can only imagine the summer. My favorite restaurant in the Hard Rock is Mr. Lucky's 24/7 which is a diner that is always open. The staff never gave me any problems and I did like it because it was in a world of it's own off the strip, but a very cheap, quick, and convenient cab ride to the strip. There are local stores and strip malls nearby when you need a dose of reality and not the Las Vegas glitz. I would probably stay in another hotel next time-- just to experience something different-- but I would NEVER turn down another stay in the Hard Rock because it was good. I would definitely stay there again though if I make repeat trips.
