I just called Loews to check for discounts for my Hard Rock stay March 29th to the 31st. She said there isn't even any availabity left for the 30th and 31st. Glad I already have my reservations. While I was on the phone I asked what the current date for the Royal Pacific was, she said they have not given the official opening yet, but that she heard they were shooting for March of 2002, this is a lot earlier than I'd heard before. When Hard Rock opened they has some great introductory rates.
