Off-Strip properties have decided that they want to look just as hideously ugly as their Strip counterparts.

The cranes for the Hard Rock’s new construction have gone up, and the assification of the Las Vegas skyline is now nearly complete.

The Rio is going to need to erect some unsightly steel beams just to stay competitive.

Lest you think the Hard Rock is stealing The Strip’s thunder … fear not.

It still looks like shit too.
