That Hard Rock Cafe guitar is long gone. That hotel is now Virgin Hotel/Resort. But Hard Rock has purchased land down on the Strip and plans a full on new resort. It's rumored it'll be like the one in Florida which is built to look like that guitar with rooms inside of it!!
Vegas can be a very surreal place. I engage The Strip on occasion. I only live 4 miles from it. Best to go in the back way on the East side and avoid Las Vegas Blvd. as much as possible. It's fun. My favorite places are The Venetian and Mandalay Bay. Gary knows my favorite place in the Venetian. Canonita, Mexico City Soul Food. Been going there for 17 years. Beautiful!!
Just so you know, that's not the real sky. It's all indoors in that gigantic hotel building!!
