Rocking the Strip: New photos show Hard Rock Las Vegas rising

Progress continues on the Strip’s largest resort construction project with crews working on both the Guitar Hotel and Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas.

The approximately $4 billion resort complex is scheduled to open in the late second half of 2027.

When finished, Las Vegas’ newest hotel-casino will feature approximately 3,600 hotel rooms, nearly 175,000 square feet of gaming space, two spas, multiple pools and live entertainment venues in addition to dozens of restaurants, lounges and retail outlets.

The Guitar Hotel will consist of 42 stories and house 675 hotel rooms and suites. The tri-tower structure that was once The Mirage hotel-casino has been completely scraped and is undergoing a total interior renovation.

Hard Rock anticipates needing roughly 6,000 employees when the property opens.
