Just another bad-AD Sign
Why does every new Vegas project feel like it’s trying to sell me something?
Maybe I’m becoming the old guy yelling at clouds.
Thirty years ago Hard Rock gave Vegas one of its most recognizable signs.
In 2026 they gave us another advertising screen. Vegas was more fun when every new project wasn’t trying to monetize my eyeballs.
I finally got a look at the new Hard Rock Cafe guitar and the wrap-around billboard. I incorrectly said 3D in the video, (I’ll fix that for socials), you get the raw content, maybe it was because I did this after a few too many…. IDK. However, a lot more can be done with this.
What I do know is that this is just another way to shove more ads down your throat. I get the Happy hour content and a few spot promotions, but am I the only one who thinks more people would visit if there were a few cool programmed shows in between?
It’s not like this place is packed every night, and although I enjoy a “Southern Rock” (that’s a drink, btw), on their patio, I feel like this cafe will take a drastic backseat to the one that is planned in the new Hard Rock Casino…
All the new ad signs popping up in Las Vegas these days are so opposite of what I love about Vegas. Is it changing, or will the Seminole’s Hard Rock Guitar tower start changing things back?
I guess we will have to see.
