Thanks to his help, the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino continue to flourish and have helped increase his net worth.
Afterwards, Morton established Pink Taco which serves Mexican food, plus over 60 kinds of tequila. The restaurant was established as a lounge and was driven to creation because he needed a place to hang out with his friends. The first Pink Taco restaurant was opened in 2000 at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, and thanks to the success of this first location, a second restaurant opened in 2006 at the Scottsdale Waterfront in Arizona. The Mexican restaurant chain is continuing to expand, with multiple stores opening around the country; some of the other branches include locations in Los Angeles, San Diego, and Miami.

Harry made the headlines when he sued Wells Fargo for not telling him that one of his employees was trying to steal around $500,000. Business aside, Morton enjoys eating at Joe’s Stone Crab in Miami, but he currently resides in Los Angeles and likes it there because of the weather. However, he’s also travelled around the world to experience food, and even worked in a free kitchen in Amritsar, India. He has also travelled to Southeast Asia a lot, and also mentioned in a recent interview that he wants to travel to the Maldives and the Seychelles..
