The familiar off-Strip landmark will be shut down for renovations to transition to its brand new name Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. The venue shall be completely closed starting February 2020 until almost the end of the year.
The original strategy was to complete the first four months of the renovation in stages, so that the property could be kept open for business. After that first four months, the[...] Read more » Hard Rock to Close in 2020, to be Rebranded into Virgin Hotel Las Vegas

this will be big change for vegas and all guests that every stayed in this hotel and casino!this will be big difference after so many years and when you change name,logo and everything else,then nothing will be same!I know that everything is about money,but still some things should stay same!
Yes, this is of course tremendous changes ... the name of hard rock is known to the whole world .... And now it’s being rebranded and it’s necessary to get used to the new name .... Perhaps this is done because at the moment the hardrocks no longer bring such money Which previously brought and it’s time for a change .... But this is of course a grand change
At this point in time are we really sure that Virgin is a better brand than Hard Rock on any level? Why would they need to rebrand the whole operation when people does not really care where they play/sleep/eat as long as it's still on the Strip...

They will probably be redesigned in a very appropriate style, but a little different not to be outdated. It's good that this happens to change the atmosphere there and the world will be curious when this hotel will be reopened. They thought well.

I dont see the problem here, with a business like that trying to keep or find employees. They may have to pay something more in the end, but it wont hurt their business. Of course they are having expenses with the renovations, but still. And the closure will be for less than a year...
Of course, any institution needs updating the interior and repair ... Therefore, sometimes you need to do it .... and due to the fact that this place was very popular, there was still no time for repairs .... everything was bypassed with minimal attempts ... . and now the time has come when major repairs are needed .... you have to lose a little money, but then they will return

Okay, but Vegas is so mainstream now that I really don't think the majority of the tourists are going there for the 'atmosphere'. I'd rather go to Macau for that...

You would be impressed if you knew how many people enter Las Vegas casinos just out of curiosity. They play modest amounts to enjoy the atmosphere of these casinos and after that they will return to their countries. This is normal because not all people who enter in a casino are desperate to earn money. Many play for pleasure or relaxation and if he wins it is even better.

Of course Las Vegas is not only a casino .... This is a city where a lot of different shows are held which are interesting for people to see .... and also sports fights are held .... In general, this city has something to do besides the casino. ... you can just enjoy the atmosphere of this city so playing is not necessary at all

It's a little weird the name chosen for this casino, because they would normally have to build a new building, so he can call her Virgin. Now it depends on the bosses and sometimes they choose strange names, but in the end this casino will be very successful because whatever is new must be visited and peoples that's exactly what they do.
