We’re getting a new look at plans for a giant, guitar-shaped hotel on the Las Vegas Strip.
Executives with Hard Rock International alluded to the plans when they purchased operations of the Mirage from MGM Grand Resorts — but new renderings were presented to the Nevada Gaming Control Board on Wednesday.
The images show a new hotel that would put Treasure Island, Flamingo and even the Venetian Resort in its shadow.
Hard Rock executives revealed their preliminary renovation plans for the Mirage, opened in 1989 by casino mogul Steve Wynn. Those plans include adding 800 to 1,000 hotel rooms, plus renovating the existing rooms and suites at the former Mirage, which will be re-branded under the Hard Rock name.
