With its history of implosions, huge construction projects and revolving door of resort names, the Strip is always changing.
And lately, its penchant for reinvention has been on full display.
Clark County commissioners cleared the way on March 22 for a guitar-shaped hotel tower to be developed at The Mirage, a project that would spell the end of Las Vegas’ iconic volcano attraction. Two days later, Caesars Entertainment Inc. celebrated the renaming of Bally’s to Horseshoe Las Vegas.
Work crews also recently demolished a cluster of buildings on the Strip where an investment firm plans to build a new retail complex — just months after other buildings nearby were torn down on land penciled for a 43-story casino-resort.
