Everything you say about HR is correct. Up until one and half years ago, for 3+ years, HR was good enough for my wife and I to stop going to Las Vegas where we were RFB at Wynn. We live 30 minutes from the HR and we started to go several times per week. We had great hosts, we were comped rooms or suites whenever we asked, food, alcohol, private club, pet friendly,triple digit free play every week for each of us, and maybe best of all, great seats for the concerts at Hard Rock Live. Many, many gifts, etc.
We played 9-6 Jacks and 8-5 BP at $1/$2. Many Royals. It became the only casino we went to. But, (there's always a but isn't there?) then came management changes. The new director of Casino Marketing came in from the MGM Grand. Sayanarra to the good times. Our "casino divorce" has been final sine October 2013. Too bad.The facilities are great. The rooms are beautiful(ask for a pool view) the steakhouse is first rate, but the VP is mediocre, the hosts hands are tied, all of our old friends have gone.
We, like everyone else, have been through this several times. Caesars, Bellagio, even Wynn.
Someday, I'll tell the story of the bets we had on how long it would take Harrahs to completley screwup CP. Six months was the winning bet. About the amount of time it took to screw up the Hard Rock.
Nothing Lasts Forever.

of royals. Enjoy your trip.I'll look for you if I stop down

On the honesty front: Basically I feel good with any game with an IGT faceplate (their lottery variant games are appropriately labelled).
Anecdotally, I skipped out on $45k coin-in with a $100 loss, so things felt imminently "honest" ;) (Probably why my follow up offers were so weak)

Joel and Harry,
Thanks for the feedback.
We will be staying and playing there but basically will be out visiting with friends and family every evening and all day Thursday.
Received two nights comp /$185 FP and took the third night at casino rate because it was less expensive than any decent hotel in the area.
I inquired as to whether two cards( one name) in separate machines at the same time would both register..Was told that if machine shows it registering then it is.
Mary and I played under my name last time( two cards in machines at the same time; Nov. 2013) and received meager offers including this one.
I have noticed a dramatic change in offers and comp over the past two years based upon a once a year visit.
Mary and I will play the dollar Jacks/BP and hope for a royal.
Do you feel that the games are "honest " ?

>>>Going on a Harrah's cruise – Norwegian Dawn – Feb 22. Cozumel, Belize, Roatan , Costa Maya. Any suggestions about independent interesting things to do in these ports without taking expensive ship-sponsored tours. Which ports require tenders? I know there is no good VP on this ship, but any other gambling suggestions?>>>
I did this same tour of homicide overachieving countries last year on the Jewel. We just took a cab to Chankannab in Cozumel --A nice beach with bars, chairs, diving instruction, "dolphin experience" and some other stuff. Easy water access, but snorkeling was very average. Some sea life and underwater statuary, but no reef.
We reserved a little day resort ourselves at a beach hotel called Alma Plena in Costa Maya. The hotel is off of a gravel road wirthout much around it but beach and jungle. Palapas, chairs, drink service and nary a cruiser to be seen. Very reasonably priced with a nice lunch and they took care of the cabbies. Snorkeling was supposed to be good with reef easy swimming distance off the beach.. I had my gear and camera, but the wind and surf did not cooperate that day.
We spent the day at Maya Key in Roatan and ferried directly from the port dock. If the currents weren't too strong I think I could have jumped off of our aft suite and swam there. There were several rescue animal exhibits on the island, a nice beach, a pool, bar and food. Easy water access off of a long pier. Once you got past all the dead coral by the pier and swam through a channel in the reef it was beautiful. The reef was in really excellent shape, with lots of life and a sheer drop off into the inky blue depths. Stunning.
We didn't do much of anything in Belize. Had a nice stay in the Bywater after the cruise. Good music and food. I'll take NO or a week on a sleepy Mexican beach with reef within swimming distance over a cruise any day. I don't think I'll do another one unless I do something like Cayamo next year.
Ohh, gambling... Cruisers leave an awful lot of Ultimitate X bonuses that I scavenged a couple of times a day. Aside from that I was mostly just wasting time and money in the ship casino.

The Hard Rock has gone down hill fast since bringing in a
new COO from A/C
Some of the changes are:
They now only have two levels, starter and elite. Elite gets
you nothing. If you do have any points they sweep your
account every night for any charges and you will likely wake
up without any points. Valet parking is now $20 or $25
overnight. Only free for X card. Points are no longer valid
in the food court. All FP VP has been removed from High
Limit. There are still two banks with $1, $2 and $5 FP job,
bp and airport dueces. Property credits have been
eliminated. Discretionary comps are much tougher and only if
you have 0 points. Plum lounge is now X card only with some
weekday exceptions.
it is a beautiful property now run by number crunchers and
egg heads that have tried to make every aspect of the hotel
a profit center. Makes me yearn for the good ole days at
Mohegan and Foxwoods.

Did a one night stay at HR Hollywood Jan 2014. Outstanding property and amenities.
vpFREE2 inventory seemed accurate at that time. Found much to play. However, be advised that play on their best inventory comes with very meager bounceback (something like $60 offers on $45k est coin-in).
Restaurants are fantastic -- Best meal I enjoyed was at TATU (Asian). Unfortunately, looks likes it's closed for a makeover under another Asian theme.
Pool area is drop dead gorgeous. Hoped to return in warmer weather with Bev (maybe this spring).
Taxi fare from FLL is dear (I recall it being something like $30 plus/ gratuity). You may wish to investigate a pre-reserved shuttle if you aren't renting a car.
