In April 1996, Harley-Davidson sued the Hard Rock for damages, alleging trademark violations.
Harley-Davidson stated that the casino had used its logo on slot machine reels, and that 10 of these machines were used in a slot promotion that offered a Harley-Davidson motorcycle as a jackpot.
Harley-Davidson did not want its logo to be associated with the casino.
A confidential settlement was reached between the two later that year.

Also in 1996, two wheelchair users sued the hotel, alleging that its two shuttle buses were inaccessible to them and were in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
In 1998, the hotel was ordered to replace or modify the buses to comply with the law.
Areas of the resort were also modified to be wheelchair-accessible.
In 1999, a woman sued the Hard Rock over alleged inadequate security in the resort's parking lot, where she was injured during an attempted robbery.

In 2000, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department conducted a month-long investigation into rumors that drugs were sold and used at the Baby's nightclub.
Ecstasy was found to be a particular problem at the nightclub, and the investigation also found that some guests were allowed inside without paying a cover charge, while some bartenders were allowed to overcharge for cocktails.
Owner Sean MacPhearson and his management team were removed from operations following the investigation.
In a separate case during 2000, a Hard Rock surveillance employee leaked a video tape of police officers who had behaved in a belligerent manner while arresting a woman at the resort.
The employee was later fired for violating the resort's confidentiality policy.
He filed a complaint with the Nevada Gaming Control Board, which rejected the complaint, stating that they did not have authority to punish the Hard Rock for his firing.
The former employee later filed a lawsuit against the Hard Rock.

In June 2002, a couple sued the resort and MTV for invasion of privacy, fraud, and emotional distress.
The couple had been unwittingly involved in a television prank that depicted a fake human corpse in their hotel bathroom.

In July 2002, the Hard Rock settled a complaint with the Nevada Gaming Control Board and agreed to pay a $100,000 fine to the Nevada Gaming Commission.
The five-count complaint alleged that several instances of inappropriate sexual conduct had occurred at Baby's one year earlier and that security guards there allowed the activity to proceed.
The complaint also alleged that the resort inappropriately used its surveillance cameras to follow and videotape members of the control board, as well as nightclub customers.
Hard Rock Hotel president Don Marrandino said, "We've had a lot of training, and we've explained to our people that people can't go over the line.
We know public nudity is over the line.
But provocative dress.
That's fine.
Look, the Hard Rock is the sexiest, coolest place in town.
We want to be the edgy, fun place."

A man sued the Hard Rock in 2003, claiming that he was injured by security guards while attending a concert at the Joint.
The resort claimed that the man was actually intoxicated and had started a fight with someone, who was not a security guard.
Other patrons also filed lawsuits against Hard Rock security guards over the years, alleging issues such as assault and false imprisonment.

Sara Robinson, a former beverage manager at a Hard Rock bar, sued Dennis Rodman and the resort in 2007.
She alleged that Rodman had assaulted her in 2006, and that the Hard Rock was negligent in keeping him off the property after that.
She also alleged that the resort retaliated against her when she complained about the incident, ultimately firing her.
She and the Hard Rock settled the issue, and she later won a $225,000 judgment against Rodman.

By 2009, drugs and prostitution had become an issue at resort pools in the Las Vegas Valley.
That year, detectives with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department launched an undercover operation at Rehab.
They subsequently arrested seven people on narcotic-related charges, while anoth
