A Guitar-Shaped Hotel To Replace The Mirage On The Strip

Author Larry Martino

TheĀ Mirage Hotel and Casino has been an iconic location on theĀ Las Vegas Strip for over 33 years, and it will soon be replaced by another icon: a guitar-shapedĀ Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.

According to an article written by Caitlin Lily onĀ Fox5Vegas.com, theĀ Nevada Gaming CommissionĀ approved the sale ofĀ The Mirage Hotel and CasinoĀ byĀ MGM Resorts InternationalĀ toĀ Hard Rock International onĀ Friday, December 16. Hard Rock InternationalĀ paid in excess of $1 billion dollars in cash to complete the acquisition.Ā Hard Rock assumed operating control ofĀ The MirageĀ at 6amĀ Monday, December 19.

Lily’s article refers to a press release from theĀ Hard Rock which stated that they would continue to operate the 3,044 room property “as The Mirage Hotel & Casino until the renovation and rebranding of the property to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas is complete.ā€ One of the rebranding additions will be an iconic guitar-shaped hotel built adjacent to the property on Las Vegas BoulevardĀ similar to the one pictured above which has now been completed at theĀ Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino inĀ Florida.

In another article written byĀ Catlin Lily onĀ Fox5Vegas.com,Ā Hard Rock International revealed plans for the rebranding and renovation ofĀ The Mirage property onĀ December 7.Ā You canĀ CLICK HEREĀ to see the artist renderings of the proposed guitar-shaped hotel to be built on theĀ Las Vegas Strip.Ā This new building will add between 800-1,000 rooms to the property. Additionally, under the terms of this new agreement,Ā Lily’sĀ article states: “MGM Resorts will retain The Mirage name and brand, licensing it to Hard Rock royalty-free for a maximum period of three years while it finalizes its plans to rebrand the property.”

Get ready to rock hard at the newĀ Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Las Vegas!

GALLERY: Rick Nielsen and His Wild Guitars

Rick NielsenĀ celebrates his birthday today (December 22.) If there’s one thing the Cheap Trick guitarist is known for, it’s his collection of wild, often muti-necked, guitars.

Let be honest: Few guitarists in rock history can get away with rocking a five-necked guitar quite like Nielsen. In honor of his birthday, check out our gallery of the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer with his outrageous guitars over the years.
