We stood in the HRH tower for our 1 night trip and boy were we pleased!
The location of the hotel is off the strip, by like 2 blocks...seriously, no big deal. They offer free shuttle service to the mall so it's perfect!
The casino is smaller than those on the strip but it doesn't get over crowded and smokey.
We were able to play the tables for hours without masses of people coming and going. We went to the Showtime Boxing matches they were having at The Joint, ticket prices were cheap and there was not a bad seat in the house!
The room it self was a King City View, Out view consisted mostly of the HRH tower parking structure but no biggie. Bed was amazingly comfy, the couch easily sat 8 people the bathroom was out of this world, sunken tub for two a shower that could fit 3-4 with a "rain" shower head.
Everything about the room was great. It was clean and very spacious. We ordered room service that night and although pricey, service was quick and delish! Check in/out was fine.
The HRH tower has a separate parking structure and Check in Desk that is super PLUSH and really makes you feel like a VIP. Service was a tad slow, with one person at the desk for check in (although we checked in at 9 am) upon check out the next morning at 11, there were 3. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
We will definitely be back to the Hard Rock for our future visits.
