The unmistakable curves of a massive guitar are beginning to take shape over the Strip, as progress on the resort corridor’s largest construction project continues.

The 660-foot Guitar Hotel Las Vegas is expected to be completed by the second half of 2027, along with Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas, according to company executives.

The multi-year project is transforming the site of the former Mirage hotel-casino, which closed in July 2024. The Guitar Hotel is being built where the Mirage’s famous free volcano show erupted nightly for decades. The tri-tower building that was the Mirage is undergoing a total remodel and renovation and will reopen as Hard Rock Las Vegas.
