We take my grandma on outings here. She enjoys her slots time and this time she left with 40% increase from her investment. 140 from 100. Where we, my husband and I, didn't win. We still had a good time. Stopped by the Hard Rock restaurant. Food was pricey but good, frsh and fast. Some of the best grilled salmon I have had probably ever. My husband had ribs. We definitely will be going again.

This is the third largest casino in the world. It is taken care of like a Vegas strip building as well. Very high-end look with a blend of rock and roll. Great restaurants throughout the complex and a new hotel being built right now as we speak. Plenty of parking as there are four (free)parking garages. The only downside is it would be nice if they had an actual bar area separate from the gaming. There's not much to do but eat and play but I guess that's the point. They also have some amazing rock n roll memorabilia on display throughout the whole property. The new Poker Room is huge! I also used to work for this company and they are an outstanding employer who takes care of their employees and it shows. The staff is great.

So I came here for the day just to play slots and have some fun with my girlfriend. They have huge selection of slots and they even have a no smoking casino side that smells quite clean compared to the rest of the casino which if you dont like smoke can quite take your breathe away. Service was excellent and everybody was nice and happy. Overall great place to go for fun and drinks even stay at the hotel. Restaurants and bars on property as well. Oh side note, as I was walking out i put my last 5 bucks in a 5 dollar slot and won all my money back plus an extra 5 dollars :-)

Amazing place! Food is great, atmosphere is wonderful and I loved how there were live bands. Staff is also helpful and very understanding. We needed help finding a Smoke Free Casino due to someone in the party having respiratory issues and they guided us right to it. The only issue is that they seem to be very lax with their security. There were a handful of people that were still smoking in the smoke free casino! Our poor guy couldn't breathe, we couldn't escape the disgusting second hand smoke and had to go outside! If you have breathing problems, keep this in mind and try to stay away from the casino. The rest of the place (it's a huge building) is great! The line of the buffet can be hours long though if you're not an Elite member.

Wow! This place is amazing! We spent over an hour just walking around and looking at what there is to see. We didn't get there until 10pm and was able to have a late sit down dinner at the cafe. Everyone was so nice and our food was delicious! We were greeted anytime we were around any if the employees. I can't wait to come back again.. what a wonderful experience.

Only came for the buffet which is all I needed. Short lines, great food from around the world, made to order dishes, and quick service. My biggest tip is to sign up for the players club before you eat so that you get the discount to the buffet. Without it, you might find it to be too expensive. But it is still worth it. Sushi, steak, waffles, fish, eggs, and desserts from around the world. It’s all very tasty. Oh and bottomless mimosas.

Fun place to hangout. Service is always excellent! Rooms are clean and staff is pleasant. The casino areas are nice offering both non smoking and smoking. Shopping is going to be amazing once the construction is complete. Still a great place for fun times and interesting experiences.

The slot machines are too tight. You wait and wait and finally get into a bonus and win $2.50 after 10 free spins, not right. I was there for 7 hrs and lost $350. again. We drive. 75 miles to get there, $15 in tolls $25. In gas and what for, if I came home with half the money I went with I'd feel like a winner.

Great place to gamble, eat, drink, and meet people. Security was very helpful and they always make sure to take care of their guests. The hard rock knows how to welcome their guests and keep us coming back! If you're not interested in gambling, there's also great restaurants and live music on the weekends!

In general a good place to go for the casino and restaurant. They have changed so many policies lately though which is why I only gave three stars. To start with we used to get rewards all the time in the mail, free dinner, or free slot play or in general giveaways they have. They no longer sent anything like this, which was a great reason for me to drive all the way from Orlando. Also the Fresh Harvest Buffet is now a 90 minute dining time. If you go with a big party and everyone is chatting it's not long enough. We went with 4 of us and we left just at the 90 minute mark. Although from the reviews I have read if you stay after the 90 minutes you will be asked to leave, since hearing that I will not chose this location for anytime of future party or friendly gatherings that we feel we have to eat and be rushed. Hopefully they will see the bad reviews in general and think about changing the policies.
