Hard Rock Hotel
One of the best draws for the Hard Rock Hotel is its location; it is located off the strip, so traffic is not as big a nightmare. The Hard Rock is noted for its domed casino and collection of rock-music memorabilia. The musical theme is expressed in the unique roulette tables that are in the shape of guitars and the music-heavy spa treatment. There is a well-equipped fitness center and a heated pool that is perfect for coming home to after a late tee time during the fall and winter when the temps drop low on the greens. The Hard Rock has five different restaurants as well as a Starbucks.

Marriott Residence Inn Las Vegas Convention Center
The Residence Inn is a great hotel for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of casino hotels. There are 192 rooms in this not-exactly-fancy hotel, but it achieves its four-star rating because of the presence of a kitchen, stove and refrigerator in every suite. Each room includes a sofa bed, so you can pack in another guest without forking over the cash for an extra room. The rooms are wired for high-speed web browsing, and there is free WiFi in all the public areas. The best thing about this unprepossessing hotel may be that the Las Vegas National Golf Club is less than two miles away, and these suites are spacious enough to get some last-minute putting practice in before you head out.
