| - Man, we are SPOILED in Vegas. After having a few cocktails at Rumor and touring their hotel rooms, I came to the inclusion that it would be the most awesome hotel ever if it were in any other town. But in Vegas, it just isn't that amazing.
Starting with the drinks... we came here for Yelp Drinks, and the bar was packed for happy hour. There was a wedding party hanging out, so I'm not sure if it's always that busy. But there were some decent food deals, so maybe it is that busy. But the food wasn't that good, so maybe it's not that busy. The bartender definitely looked like he couldn't deal with the amount of people that were ordering at the bar, so for his sake I HOPE it's not that busy.
The front desk staff was nice enough to take us on a tour of the rooms. We didn't get to see their standard rooms, which start at $69/night, but we did see their deluxe room and their pimp-daddy suite, which goes for like $500/night and up. The latter is definitely worth it if you want to film a porn, as there's a mirror above the platform bed and a set of couches in the bathroom for a good view of the multi-person shower.
If I was visiting Vegas with a few friends, it would definitely be a cool spot to stay. Small hotel = small staff = you'd get to know your bartender, so you'd probably be well taken care of. And the pool looks like it'd be a fun time during the summer, with the promise of a DJ and cabanas, etc. As a local, I'm not sure I can find a use for Rumor, though, except maybe to pre-game for a concert at the Hard Rock, which is steps away.
