My husband I stayed here for our anniversary and to see Band of Horses at The Joint. I have to tell you that we're not old (we're in our 20s), we're not prudes and we enjoy rock and roll, but... we didn't enjoy the Hard Rock.
Right off the bat we were caught off guard by the $100 a night hold on your credit card. We hadn't budgeted that in. Goodbye to that money while we were in Vegas!
We weren't impressed with the apathetic "rock-star" attitudes of many of the staff. We were there during Rehab and thought maybe the increased security and lack of professionalism stemmed from that. We were hassled by security going up to our room even though I showed them my key. Apparently you aren't "allowed" outside alcohol in your room, I saw them stopping a few different people. Nice tactic to get you to pay for their alcohol!
We were impressed with security at The Joint. They were kind, funny and good at their jobs. A+ to them! We were also impressed with our awesome bellhop at the end of our stay. He earned his tip! He kept us entertained from our room to our car. He was from Brooklyn, New York and the nicest employee we encountered all weekend. :)
The room was nice and clean (except for the glass of cigarette butts on our balcony the whole time) and we liked the decor.
We did like the smaller casino and the food at Pink Taco was pretty good.
I think if you are a young, single, looking to party and don't give a rip about service, this is the place for you.
