The Hard Rock Hotel is a strange beast - you get a decent enough hotel experience although the atmosphere is a bit wonky and obviously, you won't be that close to the Strip either. \n\nYou'll be paying for a mid-tier kind of hotel and if you're not familiar with the Hard Rock Hotel brand, you'll be getting a lot of rock-and-roll references throughout the hotel. However, when I was there the last two times, the music was a bit hit-or-miss and the room decor was a bit all over the place. Something to be aware of. Rooms were also a bit of a mess. Try to stay in the newer Paradise rooms rather than the HRH basic ones. Although the newer rooms were still a bit dark with low water pressure for the showers/sinks, at least they were bigger and more spacious than the older rooms that were even darker and cramped than the newer ones. Additionally, the food was a bit spotty as well. Culinary Dropout is probably your go-to-place here. \n\nThe entertainment is also a little bit all over. Body English isn't what it used to be compared to the other hot nightclubs in Vegas and some of the bars are a bit hit-or-miss. The pools in the summer are nice though with enough variety and dayclub space for partying. The best part of Hard Rock is still probably the Joint and the adjoining musical venue. Even though the acts themselves may be all over the place, the venue rocks out (no pun intended) with great acoustics and a terrific stage.\n\nAnd of course, the final issue is that you're not near the Strip here. There is a daytime shuttle that has a terrible schedule of going back-and-forth so your best bet is to drive or taxi it up. Heads-up. \n\nThe Hard Rock Hotel is a bit hit-or-miss for me but at least has enough amenities where you'll enjoy some part of it more than others.
