Off the Strip
The Hard Rock, which contains a 3-acre water playground popular with the young and the hip, is 2 miles south of the Las Vegas Strip and Convention Center and 2 miles north of McCarran Airport.
Glam nightlife
Guests at this Vegas hotel can gamble in the casino, catch headline performers at a major rock venue, and dance in a subterranean nightclub reminiscent of a British rock star’s living room.
Modern style
Guestrooms contain platform beds with leather headboards, 42-inch plasma-screen TVs, CD players, and French doors that open to the desert air. Walls are decorated with photos of rock icons.
Amenity highlights:
A three-acre water playground includes two connected sand-beach lagoon pools (open seasonally), a spiral-tunnel water slide, a grotto bar, and four roomy spa tubs.
Three swim-up blackjack tables are available in addition to blackjack and craps tables located in a central gazebo.
Thatched-roof cabanas with flat-screen televisions, phones, and ceiling fans are available for rent. Rock music provides a continuous soundtrack for all the action.
Insider tip:
Thanks to underwater speakers, swimmers at the Hard Rock can hear music even when they are below the water’s surface.
