UK billionaire Richard Branson has bought the Hard Rock Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas and confirmed plans to spend hundreds of millions of dollars renovating the property over the next two years.

The 1,500 room/suite Las Vegas hotel will continue to operate as the Hard Rock until the renovations are complete sometime in 2019. A partner will manage the casino floor, although some of the hard rock memorabilia—including the giant guitar—may have to go to storage. Speaking to the press, Branson said the Virgin Atlantic had been taking people to Las Vegas for years, so it made sense to buy a pad. Virgin Hotel Las Vegas will be the second Virgin Hotel in existence, the first is in Chicago. Virgin Hotels plans to open more across the U.S. and in Edinburgh, Scotland.
