Rockford's temporary casino still hiring; here's what positions are available
ROCKFORD (WREX) — The temporary Hard Rock Casino in Rockford is opening in less than 60 days. Despite that, there are dozens of jobs still available.
Hard Rock is looking to expand their team through a variety of open positions, ranging from restaurant staff to management.
Hard Rock held a job fair last month and says they will continue to hold more job fairs leading up to the open of the temporary casino sometime in October.
The temporary casino was approved in June. The temporary location inside Giovanni's would house 736 slots, a snack bar, casino bar and Legacy Restaurant, which is already there. Plans released by Hard Rock show that it would be open for 18 to 24 months while construction on the Hard Rock Casino is underway.
Construction is underway on the permanent facility, which will include a sportsbook, more than 600 gaming machines and two restaurants. The $8.8 million renovation of Giovanni's will take roughly 90 days.
Illinois law allows the temporary casino to be open for up to two years while the permanent location is built.
