Hard Rock Eyeing Potential Casino In Southeastern Wisconsin
$5,000 Welcome Bonus
Hard Rock International and the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin are teaming up to bring a casino to southeastern Wisconsin. The village of Bristol voted to sell a 60-acre parcel of land in the city of Kenosha to an affiliate of Hard Rock for $15.2 million. Full House Resorts is currently constructing a temporary casino in Waukegan, Illinois. The Temporary by American Place is expected to open this fall.
Hard Rock has a temporary casino in Rockford, Illinois, which has been operational since November. The company opened Hard Rock Northern Indiana in Gary in May 2021. HardRock was among three finalists for Chicago's downtown casino license, but lost out to Bally's in early May. The proposed Kenosha casino would be on a smaller scale than the one envisioned by the Menominee Tribe in 2015. It would compete with one 20 miles away in Beloit, where the Ho-Chunk Tribe received approval from Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers in June to build a $400 million casino expected to open in late 2023.
