Suite and Lowdown
Leather and Whips at the Hard Rock Hotel
We're going to come right out and say it: we may have uncovered the most debauched place in Vegas.
It took a lot of digging and driving in white '80s limos to North Vegas—yes, we saw at least three
things we will never un-see. But we're ready to name a winner.
As you've probably guessed, a human-size birdcage is involved.
Introducing the
Provocateur Penthouse at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, a multimedia paean to
humanity's basest urges, open now.
Consider it your invitation to a lost weekend of sin, complete with sex-toy room service and a shocking
array of kinks.
As you step inside, you'll notice things are a little off. Instead of the usual complimentary pillow mints,
you'll get a bedside tray of whips, paddles and bondage rope—to be used with those curious hooks on
the coffee table, if you're feeling creative.
You'll find the pièce-de-résistance inside the guest room: three queen-size mattresses jammed
together into a triple-wide playground of bedding, with video of scantily clad models projected onto the
bedspread by a sound- and motion-activated computer system. (Somewhere, Steve Jobs is kicking
himself.)
Oh, and that's not all: for simpler pleasures, venture through the mysterious second door in the master
bathroom and you'll find yourself in a genuine sex dungeon, complete with a 6-foot birdcage. (We'll assume
it's for really tall parrots.) When you're done, you'll slip out into the living room, ready to wash away
the evening in the outdoor soak tub.
Bring soap.
