The announcement comes a little more than a month after MGM Resorts International said it wanted to sell the operations of the hotel-casino. The transaction will require approval from Nevada gaming regulators. A time frame for the development and information about the expansion was not provided. 'When complete, Hard Rock Las Vegas will be a fully integrated resort welcoming meetings, groups, tourists and casino guests from around the world,” Hard Rock CEO Jim Allen said in a statement.Īllen, who is also chairman of Seminole Gaming, was unavailable for an interview Monday. The company, which is owned by Florida’s Seminole Indian Tribe, said it would build a guitar-shaped hotel tower at the front of the 77-acre site along the Las Vegas Strip, while the entire property will be renamed Hard Rock Las Vegas. One of the Las Vegas Strip’s most iconic properties will soon change ownership after Hard Rock International announced Monday plans to pay $1.075 billion to acquire the operations of The Mirage from MGM Resorts International.
