Just one year on, and I wonder what Macau makes of the Hard Rock hotel?
In a publicity splash it donated eight epiphone les paul guitars to local universites – see here:
“City of Dreams today announced that 8 Epiphone guitars were donated to 8 educational and youth groups in Macau on Saturday July 4, 2009. City of Dreams is an integrated entertainment resort set to become the “must experience” destination in Macau”
Will these guitars be used by budding stars of the future?
Will the Hardrock itself create a culture?
I have to admit, my own recent visit to the Hard Rock was unimpressive, albeit a different city.
The only hotel with NO coffee maker, and yet no WIFI in the public areas, so as a business traveller, where are you meant to work?
But for all that the classic collections of electric guitars and memorabilia are themselves worth a visit for those with any interest in rock music of bygone times
A fine collection of guitars – all of the classic les paul colours represented
