Before the Third Eye Blind concert, I had a chance to explore some of the memorabilia on display at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino
DJ AM (aka Adam Michael Goldstein) exhibit
Closer look at a set list with notes written in his handwriting

Nameplate of the exhibit. Reads: "Adam Michael Goldstein, 1973-2009, His stage Name 'DJ AM' stands for his first and middle names. Adam's first residency as a DJ was at Babys in the Hard Rock Hotel before regular appearances at Rain and Pure made him one of the top DJ's in Las Vegas"

Some B Roll pics of the backlist guitar decor along the museum wall
Past the casino towards the restaurants, signed guitars from various artists have been backlist along the hallway
Hanging above some of the hallway intersections, these saxaphone lamps give an extra something to the decor
The Linkin Park exhibit
In kind of a side display, a small Peral Jam exhibit. Sign reads: "Pearl Jam began to form in 1990 when trio Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament and Mike McCready, of 'Mookie Blaylock' was joined by Eddie Vedder in 1990 to become the band that you all know as Pearl Jam. There are many legands to what the name Pearl Jam may mean but the official story is that they thought the name was cool. Not that it was Eddie's Grandma's peyote laced jam."
Large exihibit for Collective Soul
