Hard Rock Casino Rockford construction to begin from Wednesday
Hard Rock International will hold a ground-breaking ceremony on Wednesday afternoon to mark the start of construction of its Hard Rock Casino Rockford venue. The event is set to take place ten months after the firm premiered its temporary Rockfords Casino: A Hard Rink Opening Act to much acclaim.
The interim Rockford Casino opened in November and has already earned $25 million in revenues. It is due to be replaced by the permanent Hard Rock Casino Rockton next autumn.
Hard Rock International's executive team and Rockford mayor are expected to welcome the start of construction of its Hard Rock Casino Rockton next Wednesday. Cheap Trick guitarist Rick Nielsen will perform at the event.

The finished project will feature 64,000 sq ft of gaming space, a 1,600-seat Hard Rock Live-branded entertainment venue and a plethora of dining options. It is set to provide over 1.000 full and part-time jobs and could be joined at some point by an adjacent 250-room hotel.
