The July 17 closure will clear the way for major renovations and construction on the property, which is to reopen in 2027 as the Hard Rock Las Vegas, featuring a hotel tower in the shape of a guitar.
Except I will justify this as enshittification because: online sports betting, gacha mobile games, and online slots have taken over for free entertainment, ridiculously cheap high quality food, and a tourism entertainment, because the prior is cheaper to maintain, quicker to deploy, and more easily accessible to the average user, and the latter required more upkeep, more American jobs, and wasn’t as obscenely profitable (somehow…)
So yes, this is a pretty text book example of the Internets enshittification of a market.
I’m interested to see how I’m just using this as “I want to removed about something”, because I honestly disliked Vegas and have never been a big gambler (though every time I have, I’ve walked away with a profit, but I don’t think I’ll tell you my strategy, 100% guaranteed low stakes winnings, because your energy is too damn negative, and I don’t wish you any happiness in life, besides that I hope you have a wonderful Friday.)

Watch out, guys, he has a foolproof gambling strategy.
I’ve walked out of 5 casinos with more than I walked in with, I’ve shown many people, none of them will deny it’s effectiveness.
You aren’t walking away with life changing money, but I’ve never once lost money at a casino, nor have any of my friends who go with me.
But much like this thread, it’s easier to doubt.
