The rotor hums and the Atlantic breeze nudges the helicopter off the tarmac; below, a patchwork of intercoastal waterways and low-rise suburbs slides away as two unmistakable landmarks take shape — the Hard Rock Guitar Hotel rising like a vertical instrument and the sprawling Hard Rock Stadium sitting in its bowl of parking lots and palms.
