Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Las Vegas is under construction at 3400 South Las Vegas Boulevard, the site of the former Mirage, which closed on July 17, 2024, to make way for the rebuild. Hard Rock International, owned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida and operating under owner Vici Properties, is spending roughly $4 billion to turn the property into a music-branded mega-resort anchored by a 42-story, 660-foot guitar-shaped hotel tower — the first of its kind on the Strip. The tower topped off in May 2026, and the full resort is targeted to open in the fourth quarter of 2027.
The pitch for future guests is a live-music identity built into the bones of the property: a 5,000-seat Hard Rock Live arena, a reimagined theater, and roughly 3,700 rooms once the guitar tower and renovated original Mirage tower are combined. It’s shaping up as a Strip stay built around concerts and residencies rather than the tropical-lagoon theme it replaces.

Rooms, Pool and Casino
The resort combines a renovated version of the original Mirage hotel tower with the new guitar-shaped tower, which holds 675 rooms and suites. Plans call for an infinity pool with cabanas and daybeds adjacent to the guitar tower, plus a separate rooftop infinity pool deck overlooking the Strip. The rebuilt casino floor spans about 174,000 square feet with roughly 2,000 slot machines and 212 table games, alongside a new sportsbook.
Shows, Attractions and Dining
Entertainment is the centerpiece of the redesign: the 5,000-seat Hard Rock Live arena is being built as the resort’s flagship venue, supplemented by a proposed 2,000-seat West Theater and a reimagined version of the old Mirage Theater. Hard Rock’s signature music-memorabilia collection and a guitar museum are planned for the public spaces, along with new restaurants, a nightclub, and a dayclub. Specific chef and restaurant lineups have not been announced this far from opening.
Location and Who Should Stay Here
The address sits mid-Strip between Wynn Las Vegas/Fashion Show Mall to the north and Caesars Palace and Bellagio to the south, putting it within walking or short rideshare distance of Sphere, with T-Mobile Arena and Allegiant Stadium a quick trip further south. Once open, it’s shaping up for concertgoers, residency-chasers, and Hard Rock loyalists who want a central Strip base; until Q4 2027, the site remains an active construction zone and isn’t bookable.
