On concert nights, We usually stayed at nearby hotels when coming to Hard Rock for concerts due to price differential of this hotel to nearby hotels. However, it was our anniversary and we had credit card points. Credit card points exchanged said the stay was worth greater than $775.00 per night. Other than the convenience of just walking to our room after the concert, we do NOT believe staying here was worth that much money. We have stayed at many different hotels within 10-15 minute drive that was $250-$500 during concert nights.
The place is huge, with complementary parking. Make sure you check which garage is closest to your hotel (Oasis Tower, Guitar, Hard Rock etc) since it will be a long walk if you choose the wrong garage. We found Check-in to be a bit confusing since there were 3 different lines, 2 for Unity Members/VIP and the other for non-members. The front desk staff were Professional but not exactly friendly nor welcoming. I found that most of their staff from the Players club, hotel elevator check, etc were just a bit aloof.
Our room itself was clean, and spacious but for the price I expected more. Nothing was bad, but not anything special. Found the pool area to be nice, and well kept. There were many different options for dining from food court, medium priced, to fine dining. Casino was big and had many games/tables. However, very Smokey.
It had some retail stores but don't expect anything high end like you have in Las Vegas. Missed opportunity, especially since i was looking for something to do while my husband wanted to gamble.
The place was especially busy at night. After the concert was over, there were just lots of people. Live band, etc.
All in all, glad we stayed here for the experience. However, I doubt we will stay here again unless the price point was closer to competitor hotels.Show More
