Why We're Not Really Hard Up for The Hard Rock's Tower Suites, Even at $109 a Night

It's not just CityCenter that's opening in December (although it's hard to keep track of anything BUT CityCenter these days.) Still, we have to at least try and remember that The Hard Rock Hotel will open up their Tower Suites in their newest HRH Tower in December as well.

The opening rates are starting at an incredibly affordable $109 a night for a Supreme City King suite that has 704-square-feet of space. Here's the official room description:

Dark wood floors give way to luxurious carpet, as the foyer enters the living space. Hi-tech rules with the Sound Matters Sound Bar—an AMX 12” Touch Panel Juke Box System that includes over 2000 songs and playlists. Two 40” Bravia LCD TV with DVD players included here.

Meanwhile in the sleeping area, a white lacquer wall headboard with button tufted and quilted leather pairs with a custom stiletto light fixture to highlight the custom mahogany and leather sleigh bed. Black out drapes of raw linen silk with metallic sheers ensure a deep rest as does the ultra luxurious designer bedding.

The bath area is enclosed in a draped and tinted glass enclosure. A generous 148 sq. feet, the bath area showcases black porcelain dimpled tile with Chinese marble and a custom bath vanity, in-shower seat, and cast iron “Tea four Two” tubs. Grohe bath fixtures throughout include Rainhead shower and handheld wands.

Not bad for $109 a night. Plus, booking a stay in the Tower Suites also gets you exclusive check-in and valet as well as other special services. But here's why we're not jumping the gun to make reservations on December 28, the tower's first night of availability.

The Hard Rock's Paradise Tower, which opened over the summer, has left such a bitter taste in our mouths that we really don't want to go back.

The rooms were fine, if already a bit too worn down for just a few weeks after opening. But the rest of the Hard Rock is a disaster. The service is crappy, the facilities are shoddy, the casino is dead and don't get us started on the pool area.

Yet we don't want to be a Debbie Downer here. If the Hard Rock promises to give its Tower Suites guest extra special preferential treatment and respite away from the masses--like a boutique hotel within a hotel like Hotel32--then we would consider giving these new rooms a try. After all, $109 is a good deal for a suite. Except on New Year's Eve that price jumps up to $329 a night.
