This iconic project is part of a full transformation of the former Mirage property, which Hard Rock International acquired from MGM Resorts International for $1.075 billion in 2022. The redevelopment began immediately after the Mirage closed on July 17, 2024, and is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2027.<\/p>\n<h2>Project Details and Features<\/h2>\n<p>The guitar-shaped tower will feature 675 hotel rooms and suites, with a lower structural base of approximately 100 feet containing the first five floors. The remaining 560 feet will accommodate the guest rooms, and installation of exterior glass has begun, with multiple floors already fitted with two distinct shades of blue panes. The original tri-tower hotel has been completely gutted and will be reclad in matching blue glass to align with the new tower. Interior plans call for larger standard guest rooms, a redesigned layout, and an expanded casino floor that differs entirely from the Mirage configuration.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Expansion of Hard Rock Bet and Digital Presence<\/h2>\n<p>While construction continues in Las Vegas, Hard Rock International has also been expanding its digital gaming presence. Hard Rock Bet launched its sportsbook and online casino offering within Michigan in December, marking the brand&#8217;s tenth U.S. sports betting market and its second state offering online casino gaming. This expansion is part of a greater strategy that Hard Rock International has for blending large physical development projects with growth in regulated U.S. online gaming markets.<\/p>\n<h2>Expected Outcomes and Features of the Integrated Resort<\/h2>\n<p>Once complete, the integrated resort will offer nearly 3,600 hotel rooms and around 175,000 square feet of gaming space. It will also feature two spas, multiple pool areas, live entertainment venues, and a broad mix of restaurants, lounges, and retail outlets. The guitar tower is now visible from both the north and south ends of the Strip, signaling the scale of the redevelopment and the significant investment being made by Hard Rock International.<\/p>\n<h2>Smart Tip for Readers<\/h2>\n<p>For those planning to visit the Hard Rock Hotel &#038; Casino Las Vegas, it&#8217;s essential to stay up-to-date with the latest construction progress and expected opening dates to plan your trip accordingly.
