We were looking forward to staying at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas for some time.  The websites and reviews looked like it would be a fun place to stay.  We arrived on a Sunday when parking at the hotel was chaos due to the Rehab party.  We paid some extra money to upgrade to a different tower with a room available.  Trying to get to our room however was a disaster.  The paradise tower is the same location where people line up and get to their rooms.  I was manhandled through security to get through with our luggage.  It would have been nice if there was a line for hotel guests to pass through the check in to get to their rooms.  The fitness center was nice and the gambling casino was entertaining.  One morning I walked out of our room and there was a black out on the floor.  The elevators were working but it was pitch dark trying to get down to the lobby.  The rooms were nicely decorated with the exception of the fact our next door neighbors smoked weed which drifted into our bathroom vents.  The bathroom water had an odd smell to it.  Needless to say, we won't be coming back.
