Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Review (Las Vegas, Nevada)

Read full article here...

 

The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino is one of the most happening and busy casinos in Las Vegas, as it should be since it caters to a younger crowd than most others that are actually on the strip.

The Hard Rock casino floor is small compared to other venues in the city. It is dimly lit and the music is always blasting.

Service on the floor is almost absent. If you can get the attention of a server, drinks take up to twenty minutes to get to you, and often it is the wrong drink!

I had the opportunity to see Bill Mahr at the 'Joint' inside the Hard Rock Casino. I am a very big fan of Bill Mahr. I rarely miss an opportunity to catch his show on HBO and when I cannot catch it live, I do the DVR thing.

The 'Joint', in the Hard Rock, has folding chair seating like old-style movie theatres; each chair is bound to the next with a plastic retainer to keep them together. There was not a conservative to be found in the audience and those attending appeared to be up on current events.

The show itself was rather disappointing, not because it was bad, but because the material was hackneyed. Bill came onstage like a true somebody, twenty minutes late starting the show. I found it unprofessional to have to wait for the talent after paying such high prices for the tickets. He could have at least started on time. Bill's material, although insightful, was old and worn. Mose of his jokes were ones he used on his weekly show. The show played as a rehashing of stale jokes with an exceptional delivery. The Hard Rock crowd was overall pleased with his performance with the exception of Bill's bantering back and forth with someone in the audience about smoking pot that went on for about five minutes.
