Hotel Overview: Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas
Rock n' Roll Hotel with a Nightclub
Catch headline performers, and dance in an underground nightclub;
670 guestrooms include television Internet access, CD players, platform beds with leather headboards, rock-and-roll photos
The Hard Rock is on Paradise Road, a straight two-mile shot from McCarran Airport.
Hard Rock Hotel's Location: Just off The Strip, Las Vegas

Property Amenities
The Hard Rock's facilities include the Cuba Libre Cigar Bar and The RockSpa, a full-service health-and-beauty spa that provides steam rooms, spas, Vichy showers, a fitness center, and offers body treatments and massage. Shuttles whisk guests to The Strip without charge.
What to expect: Independently owned and not affiliated with Hard Rock Cafes or other Hard Rock hotels, the resort is casual to the point that office staffers are required to wear jeans, and is coolly contemporary rather than grungy. Guests enter under a 90-foot neon guitar and find a hotel chockablock with rock-'n'-roll memorabilia, including some 600 costumes, guitars, and concert posters.
Amenity highlights: A three-acre jungle garden includes two sand-beach lagoon pools (open seasonally) connected by a channel, a spiral-tunnel water slide, a grotto bar, and four roomy spas. A wood gazebo contains blackjack and craps tables, and there are also three swim-up blackjack tables. For-rent, thatch-roof cabanas come with television, phone, and ceiling fan. Rock plays continuously.
Insider tip: Thanks to underwater speakers, music can be heard below the swimming pools' surfaces.
