Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas

On the left is the image used by the in Las Vegas to promote their Deluxe King rooms. On the right is a photo of the same type of room, um, in real life.

Although we found the off-the-strip property to be clean, comfortable and quiet (appealing qualities for plenty of Sin City visitors; we know), we can’t help but feel a little bit let down by the lack of “tropical island paradise”-esque decor promised to us (seriously) by the website.

Next to the marketing photo, the real thing just looks a bit colorless – sort of like the pale New Yorkers kickin’ it shirtless with the nicely-bronzed masses in the Hard Rock’s pool. Sad.
