The Strip’s largest casino-hotel construction project is steadily making progress toward its scheduled 2027 opening, with a significant portion of the new vertical structure now complete.

Hard Rock Las Vegas President Joe Lupo said crews have now built 28 of the planned 42 stories of the Guitar Hotel Las Vegas rising on the site of the former Mirage casino. While the lower 100 feet of the tower will contain the first five floors, the remaining 560 feet will house its 675 hotel rooms and suites.

The giant guitar tower, which is already visible from both ends of the resort corridor, will be covered by two different shades of blue glass panes, with nearly a dozen floors already fitted.
