The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino’s all-suite HRH Tower welcomed its first guests Monday.
The new tower includes 359 "standard" suites, seven penthouses and eight spa villas with direct access to Hard Rock’s new pool area set to open in the spring. The news media were allowed inside the towers Monday.
Hard Rock executives have said they will target luxury-seeking guests with the new suites. The HRH Tower will offer a separate entrance and guest check-in area.
The HRH Tower is part of the Hard Rock’s $750 million expansion project that the hotel broke ground on in 2007. After completion during the first half of 2010, the project will have added a new pool, nightclub, restaurants and spa, as well as expanded convention facilities, an additional 30,000-square-feet of casino space, the newly remodeled Joint and about 860 rooms.

Wow! the place looks like it's really cookin! LOL!!!
Because god knows nothing goes together like upscale, luxury-seeking travelers and the kind of drunk, rowdy a-holes that usually frequent the Hard Rock...good luck filling those rooms at a decent rate (and not having them completely trashed within a year)...I'll stick with the Wynn again on my next trip to Vegas, thank you very much...
Hard Rock Rehab hear we come.
I guess the market for luxury suites is not be be underestimated. I'd rather use my money at the dice table.
I am a Rockstar players club member and I do get very discounted hotel room offers from the Hard Rock. From Sunday to Thursday I can stay at the hotel for up to 3 nights at $29 per night. The Hard Rock has better rooms and better service than any of the on Strip hotels. They are trying hard to cater to us locals. They are also one of the few hotels without a buffet which is unique. I would like to see them add a food court but that may not happen.
I have received many great offers from the Hard Rock. Even if you don't gamble much there, you will get the same offers as a Rockstar member. If you also become a fan of the Hard Rock on Facebook, you can get awesome deals on weekend nights as well. The Hard Rock is responding to the Palms' growth and are in a heated competition for the same kind of guests....party people and celebrities. This is what is good for Vegas! It is a fun place and will be in the future.
You old coots will never get the coolness that is the Hard Rock.. and that's JUST the way they want it-- go to station and quit your whining!
lisa80268 :
The Hard Rock IS for old coots! it's so passe it's not even funny. Like wow man, I want to be seen at the same party as K-Fed.. Yuk..
Great NeighborHOOD
Another place for the "wanna be, bottom-feeders" of Hollywood.
lisa80268 - Way to go! I enjoy watching the Old Has-beens around here hate on everything new and cool. They won't quit whining though, because their best years are behind them and they can't stand to watch us young people have fun! Ha!

So, you will never be old like us...hahahaha...dream on.
annienonymouse - If you mean get old and be Negative, Crabby, Hating on Everything New & Young......then no, I won't! I have an awesome life and just because I get old, I won't let that stop me. I know how to move on and accept change. Look at Hugh Hefner, Phil Jackson, Jack Nicholson......they seem to understand how to handle old age.

What makes any of you think that us "old folks" don't like to party, dance & gamble. Some of us have partied longer & harder than any of the young ones. The Hard Rock takes us back to our youth where we rocked way better than this generation!!!
Right on Hard Rock! Two thumbs up!
The ghost of John Entwistle will haunt the new tower.
TropWorker - Wasn't talking about you......the old coots know who we're talking about! LOL

It's too noisy on the casino floor. You can't hardly speak and ordering a cocktail must be done with sending out signals....poor employees and poor visitors. An ugly place to go and spend the money.
Lisa, I'm one of those "old coots" who stays at stations or Imperial Palace because they're cheap, leaving me with more money to spend on other things. We always visit the HR when in LV, usually go to Toby Keith's at Harrah's or B.B. King's at the Mirage for our entertainment, Great food, great music. The car museum at IP is also a must. I'm not the "negative and crabby" type that Sinatra speaks of. I don't care for those types either. We go to L.V. for a good time. Just because I stay in lower priced rooms doesn't mean I'm old and crabby, It means I can make the L.V. trip 4 or 5 times a year, instead of one or 2. Sometimes I splurge and get a room at Luxor, etc. when they're in the $40-50 range. Hard Rock's biggest competition for the "hip young party types" is Planet Hollywood or Palms. As long as those places keep marketing to their lucrative niche market, they will do just fine. I wish them all well. Most of the places we go, even the younger folks think we're "cool"! By the way, If you haven't been to B.B. Kings at the Mirage, Check it out, It's AWESOME!
Not everyone can be placed in the same categories. I agree though, the old crabby bunch has got to go. Retire in Sun City or Surprise AZ if that's what you're gonna be about. Rock On Hard Rock!
the new HRH suite tower looks awesome, I got a great rate of $59 to stay for 4 nights in March, I can't wait. We stayed in the new Paradise tower in August and loved it. The Hard Rock was in need of an long over due update and both of these towers prove the Hard Rock is still on top of their game. No other hotel compares, this hotel has a great vibe that can't be found in any other hotel in Vegas!
The Hard Rock Hotel is PASSE ! 1980's kitch... someone come up with something new...
They did come up with something new,, didnt you read the article,,DUH...$750 million and who says theres a recession going on...LOL... For the Youngsters on idiot island thinking you can party!!! You couldnt hold a candle to this old coot when it comes to partying... You will go home crying to MAMA....Get a life and from your posts I dont see any rescue boats headed out to the island.....Anyways it looks like you can drive thru according to the pic.....
it's funny. some hotels close their towers and parts of their floor sections temporarily while other casinos expand and open new towers.
To make this clear: Vegas has crossed the zenith and is no longer the universtal gambling capital in the world. There's so much competition all over the world that it's getting harder and harder for Las Vegas to attract the tourists needed to finance this fancy shicky mickey.
Along with this starts the airline industry with additional/useless security hassle and only a few companies make huge profits. However, this neverending hassle will only backfire and in a result it will help the people stay at home instead of flying into Vegas for a couple of nights. The security cannot and will never be guaranteed 100 per cent, so these security firms with their new and sophisticated stuff will only raise the airport taxes and create additional pseudo security jobs.
Vegas will suffer because of that. I will fly one more time to Vegas and watch carefully how stressful the airport hassle will be. If it's too much, then I call it the end for me and Vegas. And I mean it. I am sure I am not alone with that.

"Passe"? Hilarious. We know what demographic you are in. Why don't YOU come up with something new?
