Hard Rock Vegas is coming to Sin City in 2027 with the iconic Mirage casino resort set to close its doors in July.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Operators Hard Rock International confirmed they will cease trading at The Mirage to begin transforming the property into its new full title – the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and Guitar Hotel Las Vegas<\/em>.<\/p>\n Once work is complete, there will be a brand new back-to-back guitar-shaped hotel. Naturally it will dominate the skyline over The Strip.<\/p>\n Furthermore, the hotel is expected to feature ‘brightly lit strings’ which can change color. These will be present on both sides of the building.<\/p>\n Hard Rock Vegas is expected to at least double the number of jobs at The Mirage. Consequently, this will provide a much-needed boost to the community in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n In terms of construction jobs, around 2,500 people are set to be employed to help oversee the huge project. Hard Rock has also announced that $80Million will be paid out in severance packages to eligible employees.<\/p>\n This will only apply to those who stay with the property until it closes. From a Vegas-enthusiasts perspective, it really will be an exciting few years watching the new casino take shape.<\/p>\n With that said, the world famous Mirage’s closure truly is the end of an era. The Mirage opened in 1989 and it was the first ultra-luxury hotel to operate in Sin City.<\/p>\n Not just content with generating revenue on the casino floor, The Mirage put greater emphasis on entertainment and dining experiences.<\/p>\n Once The Mirage does shut on July 17, it’ll be the second time this year that a casino on The Strip has closed its doors for the last time.<\/p>\n In April, The Tropicana Las Vegas shut to make way for a billion-dollar baseball stadium. It is expected to be the new home of the Oakland A’s.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the Hard Rock Cafe on The Strip will remain open for business whilst the renovations are carried out.<\/p>\nHard Rock Vegas<\/h2>\n
