Las Vegas Day 1

View from our window

Hello everyone, the reason I haven't been on lately is because I had the opportunity to attend the MAGIC Trade Show in Vegas. So we left on Monday and we stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel. I was not happy. I had booked the hotel almost 2 months ahead of time to avoid situations like this. I received a 2 bedroom room when I only needed one bed. At the beginning I was looking at the bad side of the hotel and all their imperfections because I was upset about the price and room mix-up.


The Good and the Bad at Hard Rock Hotel:

Good 

1. Great Music
2. Great Atmosphere
3. Great Decor (love the furniture, wallpaper, color scheme)
4. Loved the bedding (I slept like a rock...lol)
5. Walking distance from CVS
6. Close to Convention Center
7. Complimentary Wi-Fi
8. Complimentary shuttles to strip
9. Pools are great (best ones i've seen)
10. Great View

Bad

1. High Prices on rooms
2. Mini Bar was not what expected (7.50 for a $1.50 SmartWater)
3. It could be cleaner (dusty furniture, old shower curtains)
4. Complimentary Soap, Shampoo and Conditioner were dry and sticky.
5. Far from strip
6. There is a limited amount of food options: Few Restaurants
7. Long lines at registration 

So staying at the Hard Rock was not that bad at the end we got a $100 dollar refund only to pay $200 for 3 days 2 night stay. If they had said that sooner they would of avoided my complaining and headache.

So my advise to you is never use Booking.com it is the worst website I have ever used for traveling purposes. They ask for your credit card information and for what! The hotel said it does not secure your spot and there is no discount.
