The initial plan by the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino was to have phases in revamps to the property over 8 months with the business only being closed for about 4 months. Now, the casino will be closed fully during the renovations. I anticipate the hotel and casino to reopen not later than January 2021. However, there are promises that it could be done by October 2020. JC Hospitality Chair and CEO Richard “Boz”
Bosworth provided the following statement:
“We are strong-minded that the phased shutting of this four months, shadowed by a total shut down of four months was not well-organized from a construction process or could we give the hospitality service knowledge that our guests deserve. Therefore, an estimated eight-month shutdown would be efficient and safeguard an opportune opening before January 2021. We might be prepared in October, nonetheless, construction is a defective process. Until early February 2020, it is commercial as usual at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas. Virgin Hotels Las Vegas promises to be the most vibrant, exciting and anticipated properties to be opened in Las Vegas in years.”
