In June 2002 influential rock bassist John Entwistle of The Who died in one of the hotel 's rooms. The hotel management originally refused to release the room number out of respect, but later reports indicate that Entwistle died in Room 658 ( considered a `` deluxe suite '' ). Many fans still pay tribute to Entwistle, by visiting the hotel. On May 11, 2006, the Morgans Hotel Group signed definitive agreements with its partners to purchase the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. As part of the deal, MHG retains the rights to use the Hard Rock name for hotels and casinos in the Western United States and certain other territories, 23 acres ( 9.3 ha ) of land for expansion on the corner of Harmon and Paradise for $770 million.
