Hi loves! So excited to share my review of the new Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida. I went with family one night so my mother and aunt can have fun and gamble and my cousin and I went to drink and socialize. It’s definitely an incredible place and if you’re local to South Florida I highly recommend going with the family or friends. I also went another day for the Sports Illustrated Swim Launch Party. Both times, I was so impressed with the hotel and resort. 

So first things first, I don’t gamble so is it worth it? Yes, absolutely! I don’t gamble either and hate the smell of cigarettes (which can be strong in the casino floor) but they have a bar right before the casino were you can sit and have drinks and maybe force your party to have a shot or two! Ha-ha! The drinks are worth the price and they don’t go light with the alcohol. There are also plenty of restaurants to go and eat at as well.

The Hard Rock Casino has something for everyone! We went to go to the sports bar by the entrance of Daer and there was a pretty long wait. So I recommend if you’re going to plan a night here make sure you make reservation and come dressed to impress.

Daer Dayclub & Nightclub

At 9pm they have the Guitar Hotel light show which is great to see and its cute. Its quick like 15 minutes and outside but they play music and make it a grand thing. Then you can go eat or drink before you head over to Daer Nightclub. It’s a nightclub and honestly makes LIV and Space in Miami seem so 2016. The best part is that Daer is also an outdoor day club. I passed by it when I was leaving the SI Swim Launch Party and Omg!

Can a South Florida club, no wait can the Hard Rock Casino really complete with Encore in Las Vegas? I mean the décor and music and space is big. Maybe we should bring The Chainsmokers one day? It looks fun and you can buy cabana’s and the bar is so big as well. I may be planning my birthday here because why not?

Hard Rock Casino Pool

Lastly, for the Sports Illustrates Swimsuit Launch party it was outdoors by the pool. First of all the entire hotel staff is so warm and helpful so if you get lost, which can happen because it’s so massive inside, just ask for help and they’ll guide you. The pool area is incredible great to go with the family, they have a slide and all and of course a bar. They have a private pool area as well with a private bar and bathroom as well. You do have to be a registered hotel guest to use the pool. They don’t have day passes just an FYI. 

The Hard Rock Casino is definitely a luxury hotel and well worth it if you come to stay overnight or just spend a day at. Some of these photos were taken during the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Launch party but the backgrounds and hotel is just beautiful. If you want to vacation here or Miami, I would come here. Honestly, the Hard Rock Casino doesn’t compete in my opinion with the Mondarian, SLS and W Hotels.

I have gone to all those, stayed at the W Hotel, and gone to events at all and the Hard Rock Casino to me is worth the price and stay. Plus you have it all in 1 location. If not the Hard Rock Casino does offer car services or you can do a Uber to the Brightline to go into Miami or straight to Miami.

As I write this, I’m thinking I want to go back. My birthday is coming up so maybe I can manifest a collaboration with the Hard Rock Casino to celebrate my big 2-9! But I do plan to do a dinner here and maybe see where the night takes us. The Hard Rock Casino is a luxury resort and an escape from the stress of daily life. I highly recommend everyone to go visit the Hard Rock Casino and enjoy a wonderful time. Also the parking is free in the 2 garages they have so all you have to do is just go and you’ll find something here.

It has shopping, dining, drinking, the casino, concerts, pool, clubs. I mean it has it all. So maybe start thinking, planning , get your group together and we’ll see each other that the Hard Rock Casino soon.

    I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your website. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Excellent work!
