The Hard Rock seems to have a lot of horrid reviews on here but my experience there didn't line up with a lot of what I'm seeing, so I feel compelled to put in my two cents.\nKeep in mind, I only stayed one night, but I'm very picky. Very anal-retentive about cleanliness. and VERY intolerant of loud, drunken people carrying on and demanding attention from anyone that will give it to them. That being said, I didn't experience any problems with said possible grievances. \nWe booked the room for a night for only $70, which I think is great because I'm used to $150-$200 a night at shabby hotels in no name places Virginia. They placed a mandatory $50 security hold on my card but as soon as I checked out, the hold was immediately dropped so don't worry about that.\nWe got a free room up-grade and were facing the pool. Yeah, I didn't really care either. \nThe room itself was very clean and sleek. It had a sort of loungey vibe to it, everything was grey, black, and red. I was expecting your typical beige and green floral bull that every hotel seems to go with. The bathroom was a little small, but the shower was gargantuan.\nThe bed was by far the most comfortable bed I've ever sleeped on. I can't sleep in hotels. I'm always in pain, laying awake for 90% of the night and I get headaches from the slightest discomfort in any pillows. The second I laid down on this bed descended from the heavens themselves, I fell asleep within minutes and woke up in the morning pain-free. \nThe only cons is that there was no hair dryer. It's okay. I brought my own. But what if I hadn't? Just saying. You never know. Also, there's a LOT of walking if you're staying in the Paradise Towers. The casino and concierge seems like it takes forever to get to.\nThe hotel is a little far from the strip but still walkable. Maybe 3 blocks or so. It's a good deal if you don't care too much about being right where the action is but still not missing out on too much. HRH has it's own casino, nightclub, and some restaurants which I did not check out so I dunno how those are. \nALSO OUR ROOM HAD PICTURES OF THE CURE IN IT. AND THERE WAS TONS OF CLASH MEMORABILIA ON THE WALLS AND DURAN DURAN STUFF AND AND AND PLEASE LET THAT SINK IN.
