I would suggest somewhere on the strip and stop by the hard rock for a visit based on age group--keep an eye out for a reply from Vegas Gourmet - he is on top of everything Vegas and will always steer you in the right direction----enjoy

i know HR has a younger crowd, and my friend said he found a pretty good deal for the HR so we thought lets give it a try.
this will be my 5th trip and one year i stayed at the orleans (march madness opening weekend and we booked late) the other 3x i was on the strip. the orleans wasnt that bad, its not like we hung out at that casino during the day, and bringing person back wasnt an issue.
thank you.

hardrock is nice but off the strip. id stay at planet hollywood if i were you since its reasonably priced and a partying crowd. even palms is closer to strip than hardrock. both those hotels could be about the same priced as hardrock and i would rather stay there for your age group.

Cantor Gaming now runs the book at the Hard Rock...totally re-done and VERY hot look and feel....the 21-35 age group that bets/drinks/partys will like it a lot....
It is a mile off the Strip but centered....
Each book does have a different drink policy....that is usually up to the VP Food & Beverage of the Hotel/Casino..and NOT the sportsbook manager....BUT, and forgive my saying this for the hundredth time, if you equate the drink policy in a sportsbook with how happy you are going to be on your trip, then you should prepare yourself for being pissed off.....
Some waitresses can be cool and work for tips...but they still prefer to work the casino for tips and not the $1 bills in the sportsbook.....Also, unless you're drinking bottled beer, you're gonna get low-end booze and watered down also....they monitor the service bar like maniacs.....
I always drink at a bar where I have the attention of a well-tipped bartender....I learned that way before you were born on the East side of NYC.....and Vegas is no exception.

i should add i looked but didnt find anything besides 1 website touting some club down the street, named krave. i look up krave and its a gay club, one would think that would be pertinent information to include on the original website

Hard Rock is a great place but so inconvenient. You'd waste $30-40 a day in cab fare just to get to the strip. Part of the fun of Vegas is going to the different casinos and clubs and you have to be on the strip for that. My advice is to stay at Planet Hollywood, dead center on the strip. You may think you're getting a great deal at HR but by the time you factor in cab fare, the inconvenience, etc., better off on strip.

I stayed at the Hard Rock over the summer and Rehab, their pool party on Sundays, is well worth staying there. I'm 27. It was a bachelor party. The girls there are ridiculous and it's a great atmosphere.
That being said, if you're going in the very near future, it's still cold as hell there and not worth staying there at all. It will definitely cost you the $40 bucks a day in cabs like someone said. Also, the sportsbook is very small, and not fun to watch games in at all.
Planet Hollywood is just OK as a hotel/casino, but its location can't really be beat for the money. Unless you can get some deal on hotwire or something, the standard rates at PH are much lower than any of the hotels in a comparable location.
Personally, I think you should just stay on the strip (PH or not) and hit up a few different clubs based on personal preference. I will say the Hard Rock does have an awesome club though, if your heart is set on that.

PH did have a club but think it got closed down sometime last year because of a drinking/serving violation i believe. the club was the same group that owns OPM in south beach in miami. I would still stay there because you have the bank at the bellagio and pure at caesars across the street, you have lavo and tao at venetian/palazzo, you have tryst, xs, and surrender at wynn/encore, you have jet at mirage, etc. these are all GREAT clubs and its all either down the street or across the street. if you want good pool parties besides rehab, you have bare at mirage, WET at MGM, another one at wynn/encore that i forgot the name at that opened last year i believe, and one at caesars. save yourself the cab fare and stay at PH or another strip hotel and if you want to go to party at hard rock just pay the cab fare to get there once instead of paying a cabbie from hard rock to the strip everytime you wanna go out to the strip.
