| By Robert Fletcher
Hard Rock International has completed the acquisition of the Mirage Hotel & Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada from MGM Resorts International for $1.08bn (£890.0m/€1.02bn).
The deal was agreed in December of last year and closed following approval from the Nevada Gaming Commission, with Hard Rock assuming control of the venue at 6am local Las Vegas time yesterday (19 December).
The 3,044-room casino resort will continue to operate as the Mirage Hotel & Casino until the renovation and rebranding of the property to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas is complete.
