The casino was full of LA rockers visiting for the weekend or people that just saw a concert at The Joint. The atmosphere at the Hard Rock used to be amazing.

The Hard Rock (and/or Palms) was a destination casino for my friends and I. I didn’t start visiting Las Vegas until a few years after it opened. The Hard Rock opened in 1995 and became one of my favorite casinos for about 10 years.
It’s funny that a casino that I’ve rarely visited in the past five years stirred up so much emotion. The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas is finally closing.
