Hard Rock Hotel good for concerts?
New to the Truckee area and I’ve asked around a bit about the Hard Rock Hotel, nobody seems to know much about it up here.
Greensky Bluegrass is going to be there this sommer and I’m wounding about going down for that show.
Hey Tomorrow- There’s not much to know about The Hard Rock. It opened before it was ready to have major music- let alone concerts. Maybe something will be ready come summer.
BevMo’s sign lacks a mountain feel? The casinos lack a mountain feel as a whole, and you choose to make a comment on a liquor store sign??? This whole town needs to be leveled and re-planned. That is the only way things are going to improve around here. The only feature making South Lake look like a mountain town are the mountains themselves…
At $115 a lift ticket, Vail appears ready to gobble up the planet. With cash.
Tomorrow, if you like Greensky Bluegrass then you need to check out the Crystal Bay Club, they have great shows up there, and closer to you. Hard Rock is new, so I don’t think anyone can give an opinion on the shows. I am however looking forward to the Bluegrass Festi they are doing this summer with Greensky and The Del MCCoury Band, that should be some fun. Enjoy!
maisiedog – Thanks for info, someone else mentioned that place too
