My husband and I flew out to Vegas after our wedding and stayed at the hard rock hotel. It was pretty affordable and the room was huge and really nice. Check in was fast and we were able to get a small upgrade for free, all of the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. The pool was awesome. The only con is that it's a bit of a walk from the strip. We walked to the strip several times and it wasn't bad in sandals but we had to take a lyft when we went out at night since the walk would've been a pain in heels. I would consider staying here again.
