I saw Yellowcard here in November. The Hard Rock really isn't lying when they say the venue is "the next small thing." It's perfect for up and coming bands since it's a small intimate space. You can stand pretty much anywhere in the room and see the stage and band well. The acoustics are pretty good. There's a bar in the back and the prices there are actually cheaper than at the casino bar. Depending on who's playing, I would go back to the venue.
