Hard Rock Casino Installs Big Guitar with Large Typo

Nobody thought to proofread the 30-foot-tall guitar?

A large guitar replica is lifted into place as a street marker on Thursday, June 21, 2018, a few blocks away from where the Hard Rock Casino will open in Atlantic City, N.J., on June 28. The sign was installed on the same day that a different casino also opening on June 28, the Ocean Resort Casino, was granted a casino license by New Jersey gambling regulators.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — The soon-to-open Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City had to work quickly to fix a misspelling on a 30-foot-tall (9-meter-tall) guitar installed this week (view photos in gallery).

The sign, modeled after a Gibson Les Paul guitar, was put up Thursday morning without officials noticing the word "rhythm" was misspelled on the rhythm and treble switch. It included the letter "E." The guitar is one of two expected to go up at the new resort, with the second slated for installation Saturday at the resort's entrance.

Hard Rock officials say the typo was corrected Thursday afternoon by removing the extra vinyl letter.

The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino will open at noon on June 28 the same day as the new Ocean Resort Casino.
