Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Review - CLOSED Jump to comments

The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino is one of a kind. It’s located near the Las Vegas Strip, and it’s one hip place. If more mellow entertainment usually found on The Strip is not your style, the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino just might be your ticket when in Las Vegas. Their entertainment is a bit different from the traditional hotels that try to appeal to the most people possible. For many, the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino is like a breath of fresh air.

The Joint, their entertainment venue, features acts like Korn, Cheap Trick, KC and the Sunshine Bank, Flock of Seaguls, Tool, The Fixx, Godsmack, Rob Zombie and many others. This should give you an accurate picture of the diversity and entertainment level at the Joint. The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino also features one of the top nightclubs in Las Vegas—Body English. The club is open Friday, Saturday only. It’s not for those that like to turn in early. Body English doesn’t even open until 10:30pm. The club closes at 4am. Dress to impress, because the dress code for Body English is upscale.

Here’s something different. The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino has a celebrity-style salon. It’s called Brannon Hair, which is named after the celebrity stylist and owner. He’s worked with such celebrities as Nikki Hilton, Jon Bon Jovi, Vince Neil, Stephanie Seymour and Britney Spears. Now his celebrity hair salon is open for you inside the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. This isn’t some mass produced chain. It’s an ultra-personal salon with just four chairs. Guests receive the celebrity treatment. It’s definitely a story to take back home with you.
