The Nevada Gaming Commission will conduct a special meeting Friday to consider approval of the acquisition of The Mirage by Hard Rock International and the licensing of the Florida-based company, owned by the Seminole Indian tribe.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board on Wednesday recommended approval of the deal last week, and it will be reviewed by the five-member commission at 9 a.m. in Las Vegas.
In last week’s hearing, which lasted nearly four hours, Hard Rock International President and CEO James Allen outlined plans for gutting the Las Vegas Strip resort and expanding the number of hotel rooms and size of the casino floor, including plans to demolish the erupting volcano attraction and replace it with a 550-foot guitar-shaped hotel room tower.
