A new execution of Hard Rock Las Vegas said he suspects the upcoming 700-foot guitar-shaped tower on the former Mirage website will generate as much attention as the widespread volcano as the new tower will replace.
Frank Cassella, Senior Vice President of Finance for Mr. Las Vegas LLC, who will drive the hard rock Las Vegas on the strip, made the remark during Thursday’s Nevada Gaming Commission meeting held in Boulder City where he received a key development approval.
The volcano has already been demolished.
Two weeks ago when he shows up before the Nevada Gaming Control Board, Cassella gave board members a progress report on the transition of Mirage to the hard rock.
Cassella said that work on the project continues to be in a demolition phase.
“If you drive by, you can see that most of the front driving is the construction zone,” Cassella said. “Some of the pylons have gone up for the new guitar tower, which will be over 700 feet long with 650 suites. It will be a complete redesign of 3000-room Mirage Tower, a complete redesign of the casino, a new design of the pool, and there will be an extra pool for the guitar tower, ”he said.
Hard Rock Las Vegas is expected to open in 2027. Mirage was closed on July 17.
