Real World suite available to the public
Want to party like a celebrity?
How about a reality star?
The Real World suite (#1168) is now up for grabs and available to be rented from Hard Rock at the lowly cost of $3,500 a night. We say lowly, because the Real World suite at The Palms (where it originated 10 years ago) goes for over $10,000. The Palms’ suite is also 1,000 square feet smaller. About the size of a pool table or hot tub.
