The Hard Rock Hotel is set back from the Strip and is a short taxi drive to the central Strip.
Pitched at the younger crowd (and with a similar feel to its nearest rival Palms) the Hard Rock holds riotous pool parties at the weekends during the summer months.
Weekdays at the the casino can be pretty quiet (as is the case with the Palms). As expected at a Hard Rock expect much rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia. Bizarrely there isn’t a Hard Rock Café here…
