Despite plenty of advance notice and digital renderings, when it comes to Las Vegas hotels<\/strong><\/a>, you can never tell what a new property or expansion is going to be like until you\u2019ve actually walked through it, sat down to dinner, and spent a night in a room. I thought I\u2019d said all I would want to about the Hard Rock Hotel<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s expansion when I blogged about the new Paradise tower in September (Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel rocks anew<\/a>). But the second new tower, HRH, is far from just more of the same; it brings to the property a level of style, elegance, class and sass that it has long needed.<\/p>\n

Also designedby Mark Zeff, HRH tower shares the Paradise\u2019s Anglo-inspired motifs but instead of dark and gothic, a standard suite here is bright and airy, in neutral tones — dun colored walls & bright white trim — with a serviceable wet bar at entry, a spacious L-shaped sitting area facing a center-room island with a flatscreen TV on each side (one for the sofas, the other for the bed) and a raised, puffy white bed.<\/p>\n

Enclosed by smoky glass, the roomy bathroom area offers twin sinks, a deep soaking tub<\/strong> with offset spout, and a big shower stall with bench and optional waterfall\/wand spray (aided by some of the softest (huge) Corinelli bath sheets I\u2019ve felt in some time) — all making it very couples-friendly. Tech in this Las Vegas hotel room also includes a DVD player, two iPod docking options (AMX main touchscreen also has several music \u201cjukebox\u201d programs and resort information) and multiple lighting options. Big windows offer great views from high floors(though also sound from Vanity nightclub below).<\/p>\n

Of the seven new penthouse suites in this new Las Vegas hotel tower, I think the most impressive are \u201cAltered States\u201d and \u201cLiving Art\u201d — with features including<\/p>\n
