Board approves first extension of time for Hard Rock resort project to commence by March 22, 2027

The Paradise Town Advisory Board on March 25 approved a first extension of time for a major use permit and associated waivers and design review tied to a large resort hotel and entertainment complex on Las Vegas Boulevard, representing the former garage hotel and casino site.

An applicant representative identified in the record as John, representing MirageUm LLC/Hard Rock interests, described the request as a routine first extension for a high‑impact resort project. The application covers a broad set of uses tied to the resort including hotel, casino and entertainment; waivers requested include building height and other design deviations as shown in the plans on file.

A board member moved to approve the first extension of time, and the motion passed; the extension was conditioned on preliminary staff requirements and set a commencement deadline of March 22, 2027. The applicant representative did not provide additional public comment beyond describing the site and the application’s scope.

Why it matters: The application concerns a large resort property on Las Vegas Boulevard with multiple uses and substantial site area (roughly 69.8 acres listed in the staff summary). The extension preserves the applicant’s approvals while the project team completes outstanding conditions or sequencing before commencing work.

Details and context: The use permit and associated waivers and design review are for a high‑impact resort development that includes retail, dining, entertainment, and associated parking and service areas. The board’s action was limited to extending the commencement timeline under preliminary staff conditions.

Next steps: Applicant must commence work prior to the staff‑conditioned date or seek further board action; staff will continue to monitor compliance with the extension conditions.
