The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas is about to undergo a massive $1 billion expansion.
Morgans Hotel Group and DLJ Merchant Banking Partners, which recently purchased the casino, will more than double its size. This move comes in a time of a surge of development in the city, even though the market in Las Vegas may be softening.
According to the expansion plan, the Hard Rock Casino will get an extra 950 rooms, including an all-suite 15-story tower, 35,000 square feet of casinos space and 60,000 square feet of meeting and convention space.
The famous Hard Rock pool, which allows guests to play blackjack while swimming, will also be expanded. New bars, restaurants and a night club are also planned as additions to the new hotel.
Morgans have had experience with large expansions projects for its properties. Among these properties are the Hudson on West 58th Street in Manhattan, the Mondrian in West Hollywood and the Delano in Miami Beach.
