This
past weekend, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino drew in the crowds who
engaged in its New Year’s Absolution – A Symphony of
Sounds – a multi-venue, multi-performance experience that
allowed guests to exercise their right to party through a number of
different channels including entertainment, nightlife and open bar
offerings. The first-ever property-encompassing affair,
featuring a diversity of genres from rock and roll, alternative,
electronic, hip-hop and more, took place from Friday, Dec. 30 through
Sunday, Jan. 1, 2012. Guests embodied themselves in a weekend
of sin one last time before the New Year, which consequently calls
for new resolutions, asking for forgiveness of wrongdoings,
overallabsolution and detoxification of the mind, body
and soul.
