Say sayonara to another long-standing piece of the Hard Rock Hotel. The 20-year-old casino resort just closed its well-known Center Bar for a complete overhaul and now time is up for Body English, too. The subterranean nightclub is closing on July 3. A Hard Rock spokesperson said the property is working on something new to fill the space. Dee Jay Silver, who also plays the Rehab Fridays Backyard Pool Party on July 3, will be the final act at Body English.
The club originally opened as Baby’s in 1998, when the Vegas nightclub scene was in its infancy: Ra at Luxor and Drai’s at the Barbary Coast were brand new, joining pioneering venues like Club Utopia, the Beach, Club Rio and the Drink. After Baby’s morphed into Body English in 2004, it closed in 2010 during the Hard Rock’s extensive renovation and construction period, reopening in 2013.
