Since I stayed here the first weekend in 1995 , I felt I had to stay The Last one.
Checking in on Friday . Got my Farewell T Shirt , They were out of my size , Over the Years I noticed The Hard Rock did not order enough for their Promotions .
The Casino and Restaurants was not busy , except for a convention .
At the cage was a sign with the chip redemption notice.
I walked by The Gift shop and It was closed and empty , Bad business, I know they would have sold a lot of Hard Rock Merchandise . Nothing with the Hard Rock Name to buy in the Hotel.
As the afternoon progressed , the casino started getting Busy , The Casino had drawing for signed memorabilia , & had live cover Bands Playing all weekend on 2 stages , All good and fun . They had a few Backdrops up for photos .

Was met by a group of friends and fellow chippers for Drinks and stories about the Hard Rock.
Not all are pictured , like they say “ trying to herd cats” Thanks for all who attended. Hope you all had a good time.
Saturday , Up early to photograph the Sunrise over the Hard Rock , who Sleeps in Las Vegas at 6AM anyways ??
As Saturday rolled along , evening came and The Casino was packed , just like the old days.
Saw some old Faces that worked there in the Past for the Final Toast .
Sunday Morning started to get sad , I noticing they were starting to take memorabilia out of the cases .
After the Game , a few of the bars were running out of some alcohol, A few restaurants were closed for good.
I had a Last Meal at Mr Luckys with Chip friends and their spouses. The Casino was busy but not crazy.
On Monday Morning as all were checking out the casino was closed , Slot machines were not on , just a skeleton crew cleaning up. 
I glad I went , but very sad leaving for the last time
