From 7/24/15
I have to start with saying if you come here for the first time it might be confusing because instead of seeing a venue there is a souvenir shop when you walk in on the first floor. There will be a ticket counter to your left, and once you've made your purchase go upstairs to the 3rd floor that is where the Hard Rock Live is located.
Once you are upstairs, this place is huge, with a large bar, an area to mosh, crowd surf, or dance (Whatever floats your boat), and the stage of course. There is seating along the sides which is nice if you don't want to be on the crowded dance floor, plus you can see the bands great from there because the seating is elevated.
