Hard Rock shop
Janice J.

I had so much fun today hanging out at this place. I met some wonderful people sitting in the Hardrock Cafe for a bite to eat. My burger was so delicious and I even got a chance to go down to the Hardrock shop to get my favorite bottle opener magnet.

We are not gamblers but what a great venue for concerts We saw Chris Isaak and it was a fantastic show Its an exciting atmosphere

I decided to try this casino but the reviews warned me. Hard headed I guess. The machines are tight as a knot. It took me losing $80 to get it back on an outdated machine. The printer jammed so my ticket didn't print, waited over 40 minutes for 1 of the 4 red vests troubleshooters to arrive. Wow what a mess and a waste of my time. The lady at guest services was the nicest one who issued me 2 new cards. U do better playing bingo, spades with friends/family instead of coming here. I realized the dazzle of celebrity memorabilia entices u in. I wanted sum food from the Asian spot there but they don't open to 5pm, not going to spend another hour here losing my money. I will stay clear of HRC.

Sunday May 26th, Tony Vanoy and I stopped in at the Hard Rock Casino in Cincy so I could try my luck. I was dying to let my hair down and pocketbook strings loose and hit the Blackjack table but.....the maw maw YoYo in me said hold on old lady you're taking kids to Florida in 2 wks...pull out a $20 and sit your butt down at the slots.... So I did... And I won $145.90 ....so we left until next time!!!! Maybe I'll hit the tables then!!!

Super cool Tyler with Pimp

First, this place is the coolest. The music memorabilia makes it feel like a museum. Service was fast and super friendly. I had a Legendary Steak Burger and Pimp had the sliders. They were cooked to perfection. Sometimes you just don't need a whole lot of words.

Stopped into this place on a Friday as I found myself in Cincinnati and also because maybe I have a slight gambling addiction...maybe. I'm kidding. Maybe. Anyway, it's right in the middle of the city in a bustling area and in spite of that the parking situation is remarkably painless. They've got free valet or you can self park and hit the elevator directly into the casino. The workers at the host desk were over the top friendly and went out of their way to explain the layout and get me lined up with with a player's card and I was off to the floor where I found a full selection of slots and all of the table games. Most minimums were $15 which is pretty good nowadays, especially in a busy casino on a weekend. I did accidentally sit down at a blackjack table which had a $5 min, but that then required some weird side bet with each hand which I did not like so I promptly left that table. When I am president, there will be no more weird variations of blackjack. 1st day in office I'm getting that done. Aside from that the gambling situation here is A-OK and I'd definitely do it again. The place is clean, it's easy to get drinks if that's your thing, restaurants, shops, all that stuff present in the building, including of course a hard rock cafe gift shop for those of you who grew up in an era where collecting that sort of thing in your travels was a thing. Long story short if you're here and you feel an uncontrollable urge to place bets of basically any kind, the good people of the Hard Rock Casino have you covered in a lively and energetic environment that you'll probably enjoy.

This is a review based on my experience seeing a show at one of the ballrooms at Hard Rock. I did not play at casino. First off loved the cleanliness here. From the floor to restrooms, it was spotless. Staff were nice, most people I saw greeted me with a smile. I went upstairs for the show, and it was very organized with signs clearly showing sections numbers. Staff were so efficient in greeting and escorting guests to their seats. Very pleasant experience.

Slot Game

Planned an outing to visit this location with my mother. This was her first visit to THR casino. She was overwhelmed by the size and game selections. We took a small tour of the updates, signed her up for a Unity card and ate pizza & salad before finally playing many new slot games. Played from 11pm-3am and left winners. It was a very good time. Self parking was ample and the employees were helpful and friendly.

Went on Friday April 4th 2025......they claim to play 70's, 80's, 90's, and I'm sure…read more2k's........they played nothing but crap that 24 and under would like!!! We've been multiple times and have had a great experience. This time was nothing but kids that have zero rhythm and the one old song they played, stood around on the dance floor smoking. I hope this place isn't going downhill!!​​

Went to Boogie Nights for my birthday with a group of friends! Such an interesting venue! I think…read morethe music was great, and drinks were very reasonable (I ordered 3 shots and a drink for $26 - I know other reviews complained about high prices, but this was lower than typical for a club in my opinion!). I really enjoyed the night and I recommend Vip if you want to sit close to the dance floor. There was a pretty large group when we went and my reasons for a 3 star rating includes the following: -the floors and escalator were pretty treacherous due to sticky floors - I slipped repeatedly in my heels on wet floors and when I changed to flats, they stuck to the floors and I repeatedly lost my shoe to the sticky gunk (meaning the floor kept my shoe and my foot came out of it). -the bathrooms were disgusting: they didn't start badly, but progressively got worse through the evening and were not re-stocked or kept up by staff. -the raised dance floor was a bit of a nightmare if you found yourself dancing towards the edge. I slid off and tripped going up multiple times because of the crowd. -this club absolutely does not enforce its dress code. Tons of baggy jeans (men), shorts, tennis shoes, sweatshirts, and other non-themed attire that violated their published dress code. The mash up ended up close to 40% in theme, 20-30% club attire, and the remainder was closer to what you expect to see while shopping at a large box store. Not trying to be snobby, I just expect places to follow their own rules. Overall, I had a great time and would go back if the mood struck!

Really great RV park for short stays and great price. What can I say no frills but well kept, clean…read moreshowers, nice picnic area and fully functional and clean laundry. The park has little amenities and is tucked back in the rising star casino parking lot. It was an absolute pleasure to check in with the hotel front desk, every person there was so sweet and friendly as mentioned by another yelper but seriously! Tips: *you can only book pull thru sites over the phone, only 7 are available. *check in at the casino hotel check in. No signage but park in the back lot and walk in to the casino. The Rv park is next to the hotel located away from the main casino. *the park is accessed by a gate, you have to get out since the keypad is low *We were charged a $50 hold per reservation plus $10/day resort fee on top of rate. *To use the pool you will need a card so let them know at check in. (The pool was indoors and next to the gym in the main casino building, you have access with the resort fee) *trash valet out before 10:30am *3 washers 3 dryers each $1.50 quarters only there is a coin machine *7 individual restroom/ shower rooms *there are a few bbq grills located on property pretty clean but make sure to bring charcoal if using.

My 86-year-old grandfather has been gambling at the Rising Star Casino for many, many years now,…read moreand the last 3 months, they have truly been awful to him. Mind you, he drives at least once a week, 2 hours there and back. He got there, tried to get a room, and was turned away, but the 2 people behind him did not have a reservation and received a room anyway. Your hotel desk clerks have been very rude to him for a while, but tonight was enough. He spends a lot of money to be treated like this. Member for at least 20 years now. Katie

They were short staffed and i had to run down to the front desk for shampoo and hand soap but the staff was really kind. The room needed more attention we did find some a chip bag under a night stand and the windows needed cleaned. Other than small inconveniences that did not affect our stay, we had a plethora of towels, the ac was powerful and the shower water was nice and hot. The beds were extremely comfortable as well. We used the pool, which is small but warm. I received two drink tickets as well. The evening reception was a nice touch. My kids got free nonalcoholic drinks, some snacks, crackers cheese, veggie tray, sweets and chips and salsa. We were still full from lunch which was walking distance from the hotel. Breakfast was actually phenomenal. A whole room of food and made to order omelets. Breakfast staff was also really attentive and kind. Parking is $12 if you don't need to leave otherwise it's $22. My kids really enjoyed the staycation as did I.

The rooms are older, but it was clean and has a great set up. The location is perfect, an easy walk to any stadium, the tailgating area, dozens of bars and all the parks/walking trails. The staff was the best part. The checking was effortless, the people friendly, the food really fresh and tasted great. There is a full bar, breakfast buffet and snack shop. Overall this should be a top choice to consider as a home base for cheering on your team or staying for business.
