Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas Review

The world-renowned Las Vegas Strip is a one-of-a-kind destination with tons of casinos, hotels, restaurants, bars, entertainment venues, and attractions. And since 2009, it has been the home of the most highly anticipated, state-of-the-art Hard Rock Cafe in the world — Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas Strip. The cafe is located on the famed Las Vegas Boulevard in the Showcase Mall, next to the MGM Grand and across from the New T-Mobile Arena.Beautiful is an understatement when describing this location 42,000 square feet with three floors of non-stop fun and features the world’s largest Rock Shop which has some excellent items perfect for Hard Rock pin, T-shirt, and souvenir lovers. I fell in love with the interactive Rock Wall, contemporary lounge, on display memorabilia, and bar area. The patio dining offers an amazing experience dine while enjoying an unobstructed view of the world-famous Las Vegas Strip. Looking for live music then head upstairs after dinner and rock to the best live music jam session. Now don’t get twisted both local and national artists perform for at the Hard Rock Cafe so check to see whose playing and book your reservation or if necessary purchase advance tickets.

Whether you’re looking for breakfast, lunch, brunch, or dinner, the Hard Rock Cafe has a menu with a little something for everyone. King Thrifty and I had a late dinner reservation and decided to go with some mouth-watering entrees that left us craving for more. My dinner of choice was the Twisted Mac, Chicken & Cheese and for dessert, I ordered the Irish Kiss cocktail. King Thrifty ordered the Cowboy Ribeye well-done which was delightful, and for dessert, we both indulged on the Cheesecake Oreo Cookie Pieces.

Twisted Mac, Chicken & Cheese-Cavatappi macaroni tossed in a three-cheese sauce with roasted red peppers, topped with Parmesan parsley breadcrumbs and grilled chicken breast. Um hmm, deliciousness!

Made in-house, a generous helping of Oreo cookies baked in our rich and creamy NY-style cheesecake, with a decadent Oreo cookie crust.

The Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas is definitely one of my favorite places I highly recommend it if you’re visiting any city that has a location.  The staff is a lot fun but very professional.

  5. I haven’t been to Vegas, but visited the Hard Rock Cafe while we were in Phuket Thailand. It was the one western chain restaurant we ate at the whole time because even though we love Thai food, after awhile all you want is a good burger.
