New Hard Rock Vegas "Anti-Club" Gives Us Another Space in Which to Get Wasted

Extreme sports star Carey Hart has teamed up with the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Vegas to create Wasted Space, a "rock and roll nightlife experience" hyped up to be an "anti-club."
Let's take a moment to acknowledge the greatness of the name and the fantastically appropriate location for a club called Wasted Space, as the Hard Rock Vegas seems to be the place where everyone is wasted in every space on the property.
Co-owned by Hart, the Hard Rock and Yankees baseball player Jason Giambi, the club boasts Benji and Joel Madden as partners and will surely be seeing packs of annoying celebs on a nightly basis once the doors open.
Even though its fate as ridiculous celeb magnet is sealed, the idea behind the 5,000 square foot club is still an alternative to the ritzy-glitzy crap at all the other Vegas clubs. The Vegas Eye described the concept in a bit more detail:
The first anti-club of its kind, Wasted Space melds the high-end rock n' roll culture with fashion, art and design creating a one of a kind atmosphere and nightlife experience.
"I wanted a place where my friends and I could hang out and listen to some great rock music with a cool atmosphere...there were no options in Vegas, so I made my own," said Hart.
Wasted Space will feature the top rock artists weekly, in addition to the hottest DJ's in the country.
Okay but we have to ask: what is so anti-club about it? Cover charges and expensive drinks seems clubby to us, and a Pete Wentz-y vibe does not an anti-club make!
But, then again, it's Vegas -- and what's a night without cover charges and expensive drinks, right?
Wasted Space officially opens up on Friday with a VIP party featuring an acoustic set by the one and only Gavin Rossdale.
