Clark County, wherein the Las Vegas Strip sits, has approved Hard Rock’s larger-than-life, guitar-shaped hotel tower.<\/p>\n

Hard Rock International, of course, purchased the operations of Mirage, and the resort will be Mirage until Hard Rock finishes its renovation—including construction of the new tower—sometime in 2025.<\/p>\n

The tower will sit on the site of the Mirage volcano. Cue the wailing and gnashing of teeth.<\/p>\n

Yes, a few folks are bemoaning the loss of the volcano, but most of them haven’t actually visited the free attraction since 1994.<\/p>\n

Vegas moves forward. We don’t ruminate or dwell. We don’t pine. We don’t bemoan. Stardust excluded, but that’s entirely different. Just because, that’s why.<\/p>\n

Anyhoo, Hard Rock’s guitar tower will be 660 feet tall and will have 600 suites.<\/p>\n

It’s said the shape of guitars were inspired by women’s bodies, yet many are difficult for women to play, breastwise<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The new hotel tower won’t just be a new source of revenue for Hard Rock International, it will also be a spectacle. The Florida version is sparkly and there’s a light show with music and the whole nine. Here’s more on the Hard Rock site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The guitar tower is mesmerizing and Las Vegas needs one, stat. (Today we learned “stat” comes from the Latin word, “statim,” meaning “immediately.” If we have to learn things, you’re damn well going to learn them, too.)<\/p>\n

Here’s how it’s described on the Hard Rock Web site: “The Guitar Hotel Light Show is a daily spectacular featuring a series of orchestrated outdoor music and lights showcasing the LED lights built into all sides of the brand-new and immaculate The Guitar Hotel. The lights are programmed to change color and intensity and are choreographed to different songs. Six high-powered beams of light accentuate the production by projecting at least 20,000 feet into the sky. The six lights mimic the strings of an imaginary guitar neck.”<\/p>\n

At the Florida location, Jennifer Lopez has her own light show, confirming Hard Rock expects to recoup its investment on the back end.<\/p>\n
