Though it looks like a rock ‘n’ roll guitar, it’s not something that you can play. In fact, this extraordinary $1.5 billion creation is a place where you can stay - after all, it’s a 36-storey electric guitar-shaped hotel.

The venue boasts of having 1,200 hotel rooms, reports Daily Mail. Additionally, it has a 7,000-seat casino floor that accommodates over 3,000 slot machines.

People had a lot to say about this unusual hotel. While some were amused by this place, there were a few who were not-so-impressed.

“I drove right in front of it last week. Amazing site,” wrote a Facebook user. “I am so not impressed. A hotels worth is what happens inside, room quality, staff, amenities, etc. the shape of the outside is of minimal importance,” commented another. “Wow, looks beautiful! Can’t wait to stay there” commented another.

A few, however, dropped comments that show their apprehension about the fate of the building when it faces the strong winds of a hurricane.
