We Ask: Are There Any Good Views From The Hard Rock Las Vegas?
You know the scene. You open the door to your brand new hotel room, run over to the window, open the blinds and bam, you are hit with the anti-view. Maybe you are looking down a dirty alley, witnessing a drug deal, staring at an air shaft in the face, or seeing a brick wall. Whatever you are viewing it is not extremely pleasurable. Help out your fellow hotel mavens by uploading your anti-views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number with the not-so-easy-on-the-eyes view.
During our stay last week inside the Hard Rock Las Vegas' new HRH Tower, we were astounded by our room view...and not in a good way.
We liked our room fine enough but we were under the impression that the term "tower" meant you would be high above things--not eye-to-eye with a parking garage.
Since this is the third time that the Hard Rock's made our anti-view list in less than a year, we ask of you kind readers--Do any of you have any killer views from the Hard Rock? If so, please send them to us.

The Hard Rock's New Tower Is A Head Injury Waiting To Happen
There is a time and place for what we have to say about the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, but that time is not now, it is later this week. For now, strap on your Avatar ready 3D glasses and get ready to take a visual tour through room 10809 in the "New Tower" aka The HRH Tower at HRHC.
We are only half joking about the 3D glasses. The visuals in the room -- a contrast between stark white and captivating photography -- are really very cool. The "tower" view however, is not.
First, a tower usually you can see over low lying structures like a parking garage, but not this tower. Heck, give us the horrible HVAC view instead of staring at level four of the hotel's attached parking structure.

Learn How to Mix Proper Drinks at These Hotels
If watching Tom Cruise in Cocktail made you want to start bartending, belly up to a hotel bar for a mixology class. Okay, you'll likely be focusing on not spilling the liquor rather than tossing bottles in the air, but at least you'll finally be able to mix yourself a decent cocktail.
Find out where you can shake up some drinks after the jump.

'Sound Matters' at The Hard Rock's New HRH Tower
The juke box and Sound Matters control panel.
There is plenty to say about the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel & Casino's new tower. However, let's leave that for another day. For now, let's focus on the Sound Matters Sound Bar and the touch panel juke box system with over 2,000 songs that is in every one of the all-suite rooms here in the new tower.
First and foremost, the Sound Matters system sounds incredible. We have experienced a ton of in-room sounds systems in our time, and this one tops them all, it is that good. The jukebox idea is also a good one. It gives you the ability to play plenty of the rock songs you usually here down at the casino level in your room.
One odd thing about the featured play lists, though: John Mayer is featured right along Best of HRH, 90s hits, and 80s rock -- really? John Mayer at the top level just seems odd, maybe if he was playing The Joint this weekend, but he isn't Santana is.

The Always Classy Seminole Hard Rock Hotel to Throw Trashtastic Super Bowl Parties
Snooki pole-danced here, Steven Tyler fought here, and Anna Nicole died here. Is it any wonder the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood is getting trashtastic for the Super Bowl?
Last year, Entourage star Johnny Drama—sorry, Kevin Dillon—hosted the big-game weekend festivities at the sister property in Tampa. This year, while there'll be celebs and players galore, the focus is on the flesh. The week leading up to the game on February 7 is awash with bikini babes—there's a pool party featuring a fashion show by the Kardashians' boutique Dash, the Lingerie Bowl, and Penthouse Magazine's Super Party. Oh, and ladies, we almost forgot! For you—Jamie Foxx.

Snooki Takes it to The Pole at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel
While some clubs in NYC and even Hoboken have denied the cast of 'Jersey Shore' for paid club appearances, it seems that in Hollywood, Fla., there is no shame in hiring Snooki to do some pole-dancing for a night.
Snickers, aka Snooki, aka Nicole Polizzi was partying at the Seminole Hard Rock and Casino on Saturday night where the Opium Nightclub held its first-ever Saturdays Love the 'Jersey Shore'" night complete with a fist pumping competition.
According to Snook's Twitter feed, she was chillin at the hotel in a room before heading out to the nightclub. But unfortch, she Twittered that "i forgot my clips! no poof tonight!" Still she managed to have fun getting on the pole for the evening.
And to think, it only took her getting punched in the face for everyone to realize that yo, she's a cool girl.

Worst Anti-View: A Parking Garage, Courtesy of The Hard Rock's Paradise Tower
It's what you've been waiting all year for--The 2009 HotelChatter Awards! We'll be bringing you the best and worst of the year (and the decade) all day today and part of tomorrow. Agree or disagree with our picks? Air your thoughts in comments below.
WORST ANTI-VIEW: THE HARD ROCK'S PARADISE TOWER
Hmmm, that doesn't look like paradise does it? But this is the view from room 30521 at the Hard Rock's Paradise Tower in Las Vegas. Our tipster tells us it was supposed to be a "mountain/ city view" but instead he got a nice birds-eye view of the employee parking garage.
When we stayed there in August, we had a corner room with a so-so view of distant Strip but there was so much construction going on around the Hard Rock that we couldn't really focus on the positive. We guess we should be happy we didn't have a view of someone fornicating in the pool. Then again, that would be more interesting!

Hard Rock San Diego Rocks Adam Lamberts' KISS Outfit
Good Morning America may have given Adam Lambert the cold shoulder by revoking an invite for a performance on the show after his man-on-man kiss at the American Music Awards (come on, Madge made out with Britney and Xtina at the VMAs), but the Hard Rock San Diego is showing the singer some love. The hotel is bragging about its latest wearable-art display: Lambert's KISS-inspired suit from American Idol.
Glamberts will want to make a beeline for the hotel's first floor, where the all-black getup from the eighth-season Idol finale with the wire wings will be featured. The outfit joins displayed garb from such icons as Madonna, the Beatles and the King, Elvis Presley.

Hard Rock Macau's Got A Fancy Rock And Roll Suite
If you're a fan of Asian pop music then you're bound to know that Hong Kong singer Jacky Cheung is quite a star – they even call him the "God of Songs" in that part of the world. Knowing that, the fact that there's now a Jacky Cheung Rock Star Suite at Macau's Hard Rock Hotel is pretty cool news.
Even if you don't know too much about Jacky Cheung, you'll learn plenty by staying in his suite. You'll be greeted by a video of Jacky explaining both the elements of design in the room and his favorite spots to visit in Macau. The room itself includes plenty of Jacky Cheung memorabilia, including his own white baby grand piano, a microphone, gloves and a CD of his favorite songs. Oh, and there are life-size photos of Jacky Cheung in concert on the walls. On second thoughts, if you don't know him, staying in this room could be a little freaky.

Hard Rock Las Vegas Will Open Its New Tower Next Month
If you're one of the many people who are still bummed that the raunchy pool party, Rehab at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas is over for the season, we think we have some news that will cheer you up.
The Hard Rock will will open up their Tower Suites in their newest HRH Tower on December 28, giving you a new reason to visit the most sinful hotel in SIn City. The opening rates start 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.
