Went here with a few friends in December so I can't review the pool.  We had a great time at this hotel and the scene is definitely similar to hard rock.  The rooms are superficially nice (they are made with cheap materials), the elevator was having issues, as well as several slots in the casino.  Seems like they still have some kinks to work out there.  Besides that, the pizza is awesome, there is a great coffee shop, and and several other good restaurants.  I would definitely recommend the hotel to young people looking to party but have a feeling this place will be destroyed in a few years.
