Hard Rock Hotel features an 11-story tower with 647 guest rooms and a 30,000 square foot casino.
Arguably one of the hippest joints in town, the Hard Rock Hotel houses some of Vegas' hottest entertainment, restaurants and nightspots.
It's all about the music. And the world's first "rock 'n' roll hotel and casino" knows it. From light fixtures created out of drum cymbals and Fender guitar-shaped door handles to the leather-and-steel walls of the parking garage elevator, every aspect of the Hard Rock worships at the altar of rock.
Forget Monet, Van Gogh and Picasso, the artwork decorating the Hard Rock leans more toward painted leather, denim suits and feathered boas. Leather jackets from Aerosmith, the Ramones, U2 and many more are enshrined in cases lining the casino's walls. Motorcycles once owned by Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe and Matt Sorum of Guns N' Roses guard the entrance to the casino pit, autographed guitars stretch down the main hallway and outrageous costumes and memorabilia (Madonna's underwear! Beatles' talcum powder!) can be found in every nook and cranny.
All the memorabilia just scratches the surface of the Hard Rock's devotion to the spirit of rock 'n' roll. The entire resort has a hedonistic atmosphere reminiscent of a backstage bacchanal.
