| - I took the very nice Hard Rock shuttle from the strip to Hard Rock to check it out, after my brother insisted I see the memorabilia there. I have been in Hard Rocks all over, so I wasn't really in a rush to get there, but I thought Id see what they have, since I had not been to the Vegas one before. Walking into the casino/hotel part was loud with a very "Spring Break, clubby, drunk idiot kids all over" kinda feel. Not my thing. At 33, I seemed to have outgrown the immature, drinking, partying, craziness that is over there. I appreciate a fine hotel, and relaxing on vacation, and taking in what great things there are to do on the strip, and in the hotels, rather than the cycle of "Pool all day, Drink, Club all night, Drink, repeat. Lol. I feel you can have that kind of trip anywhere. That being said, I was there to see what guitars and items they had. I walked around the restaurant and casino, took some pics of stuff, and left. It was very overrated. They had more interesting stuff to see at the NYC HR. They had many brand new bands at the Vegas location, that I could really care less about. I was there to see classic bands, and bands/artists that were important in changing music, or at least had hit singles and albums. Not bands that have been out 5 minutes and that might have had 1 hit song. After seeing the kind of people they have there, and what the environment was like, I would never stay there. Add to that how far they are from the strip, and HR can keep it. After I left HR, I went across the street to the amazing, raucous, fun of Hofbrahaus and had a great time and an amazing meal.
