Maybe 4x busier in terms of passenger flights, but CVG is one of the top cargo airports in the country. Amazon and DHL have their North American hubs there, and the airport is the
6th largest cargo airport in North America, 12th largest in the world.
The Hard Rock guitar tower is 450 feet tall. Downtown Fort Lauderdale has buildings that are taller than that, and it appears to be a similar distance from the airport as the Hard Rock, so it's not clear to me that FAA restrictions are the reason for the lack of guitar neck on the building. Also, Hard Rock has proposed a similar tower in Vegas, which also doesn't feature a full guitar neck. Maybe another case of FAA restrictions, but I doubt it given the height of other hotels on the strip.
