Las Vegas, Nevada (1997-8)4455 Paradise Rd. Las Vegas, NV 89109Minutes from the Las Vegas airport lies the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino- the first rock 'n' roll resort in the world. Under a ninety-foot neon guitar you'll find: 340 rooms, a 1,400-seat live concert venue, a beach with its own lagoon, two restaurants and a 30,000 square foot casino surrounded by a multi-million dollar collection of rock 'n' roll memorabilia.
In summer of 1996 co-founder, Peter Morton sold all cafes of the Hard Rock Cafe America Group (all the Cafes in Europe and America including San Juan) to the Hard Rock Cafe International Group lead by Robert Earl (manager of Planet Hollywood). Morton now only owns the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas and is rumoured to be planning on opening more.
