"Not surprisingly, the scene at this hotel is full of young, beautiful people looking for a rocking good time ... needless to say, the Hard Rock delivers."

"Nobu? Check. Rooftop pool and skimpy waitress uniforms? Check. Vegas has arrived in the Gaslamp, replete with Intervention Sundays."

"A classic three-story, bulky brownstone and brick facade disguises what is perhaps the quirkiest concept hotel in the city, a fast-paced showroom for Pininfarina's erogenous ambitions. "
