6/25 to 6/27/13 - HOLLYWOOD HARD ROCK CASINO

Thank you, Hard Rock for sending me 2 complimentary nights at your hotel!  We've been to this resort several times but it's the first time we've stayed.....it's a terrific way to enjoy a mini vacation...gamble a little, rest a little, swim a little and back to gamble a little more.

















The room was beautiful and had all the amenities we needed, right down to the Kuerig coffeemaker which we have at home.  The bed was comfy (I wonder where they get those fabulous pillows) and security to the rooms from the casino was great.  (You have to show your room card to get to your room which is a plus and keeps down the noise level.) 


The only minus to the room was the deep, deep bathtub which was perfect for soaking but treacherous to climb in and out for a shower.  Grab bars would be nice, Seminole
Tribe. 


The pool is beautiful with small cabanas available for a nominal fee.  There's a nice bar outside for a great, reasonably priced lunch.





The decorating throughout the casino and hotel ate marvelous...lots of photos and clothing from rock legends.




I had a terrific day at the slots.....during the first hour I won a small jackpot so I was able to play with the casino's money during the two days and even got to take some $$ home. 


If you're going to Hollywood Hard Rock, always ask if there's a drink of the day...Wednesday is Bloody Marys for $3 rather than the usual $5.  No free drinks at this casino while you're gambling but $3 is a pretty good deal.


We had lunch at Hooters which is on the property in the Paradise Shops.  It was good and reasonably priced.  There are some small shops and restaurants in this area along with the poker room and the theater with some great entertainment.
