*This review is based on staying one night in the Paradise Tower in the winter (I say this because I'm imagining the Hard Rock being a very different scene in the summer when Rehab is open and fully functional)*
My buddy and I were coming into town a night early before my bachelor party kicked off. We wanted to stay somewhere neither of us had been to before, so we chose the Hard Rock based on that and he had found a sweet deal (expensive week with the CES trade show in town). We didn't realize it was so far off the strip, but we thought no biggie.
Checking in, the front desk was really friendly to us, and gave us a free upgrade. We ended up being in the Paradise Tower, which we thought was the newer part of the hotel (?). Our room was great...no complaints at all. The room seemed newer, and the bathroom was actually nice...overall I liked it. We had a great view, which was directly above Rehab (amazing how large that whole pool area is). Outside noise was virtually non-existent. We didn't really hang in the casino much so I don't have any good or bad info for it. All in all I was impressed with the stay, and would definitely consider going back.
