The Las Vegas Metro Police are undergoing an aggressive attempt to crack down on swimming pool "drug" parties at casino hotels throughout the strip.  The latest target:  Rehab at the Hard Rock.

During its Sunday pool party, undercover officers put on their swim trunks and made 8 arrests.  The charges included prostitution along with drugs.

The Hard Rock is saying that they have a "zero tolerance policy for the alleged illegal activities and that it's unfortunate out of the nearly 6,000 people who enjoyed themselves that day at Rehab eight individuals engaged in conduct that resulted in their arrest."

Planet Hollywood so far is the only casino to get hit hard with a fine from the Nevada State Gaming Commission for $750,000 in the Prive nightclub bust that temporarily closed down the club. It has been issued a temporary liquor license and is back open.
