ATMOSPHERE: B-
Ear drum bursting LOUD music; we couldn't even hear each other when we were screaming! (Try visiting this casino during the day and during the week -- it's a bit "calmer" during those times). Great display cases with music memorabilia abound. Don't miss the Beatles collectibles display at the back of the casino. GAMBLING RATING: C If you can stand the loud music, it's an okay place to play. They have some cool rock n' roll themed slot machines, and their purple gaming tables are very chic. FOOD: A- Mr. Lucky's 24/7 is the 24-hour coffee shop at this hotel, and it's great! The best deal here is NOT on the menu, however. When you go in, just ask for the $5.95 steak and shrimp special (trust me, they have it). You get a decent 8 oz. steak, a skewer of 4 shrimp drizzled in hot butter, a huge salad, and a potato (try the garlic mashed). If you sign up for the slot club, you'll also get a "Six Pack" Fun Book that is good for a free large order of chips and salsa at Mr. Lucky's. Get this and the special, and you'll be full for the rest of the night. OTHER: BEWARE of the ads in various casino mags advertising the "Hard Rock Six Pack." The fun book promises "free shot glass," "free souvenir," etc., but as you might expect, there are lots of "catches" to the offers and LOTS of fine print. The new fun book has been greatly improved, and much of the fine print has thankfully been removed. So get on in there and pick up your FREE shot glass (with NO strings attached)!
