Hard Rock Casino Rockford officials made a huge statement on Thursday when they presented the Illinois Gaming Board with fresh renderings of their prospective permanent casino facility. The resort will be located at 7801 E. State St., near the Interstate 90 exit, and will span over 187,000 square feet. The company has sought an extension for its temporary location while work on the full-scale project continues, with the permanent resort set to open in August 2024.
The Illinois Gaming Board granted Hard Rock Casino Rockford’s request for a temporary location extension. This implies that the Rockford Casino – A Hard Rock Opening Act, currently located at 610 Bell School Road, will remain open until November 2024, offering visitors with an uninterrupted gaming experience.
Construction at the former Clock Tower Resort, which will house Hard Rock Casino Rockford, is proceeding as planned. The business has stated that the concrete roof will be installed later this month. The recently published photographs show the casino’s ode to Rockford’s Hall of Fame band, Cheap Trick, which is located on around 22 acres of property.
Iconic Tribute and Eye-Catching Features
At the casino’s entryway, captivating images depict a spectacular 90-foot tall recreation of Cheap Trick musician Rick Nielsen’s famous checkerboard guitar. The building is adorned with a dramatic plaque in all capital letters stating “I want you to want me,” the classic chorus from Cheap Trick’s popular song. Furthermore, the photographs reveal a huge parking lot encircling the resort, with a capacity of 1,800 spaces.
The Hard Rock Casino Rockford building timetable suggests that the project will be completed well ahead of its grand opening in the summer of 2024. The business plans to install gaming equipment at the site by May 2024, with the permanent facility opening in late August 2024. This much anticipated development marks a significant milestone in Rockford’s gaming sector.
The temporary casino has had a positive business success since its launch in November 2021. The stats attest to the success of Hard Rock Casino Rockford’s inaugural effort, with a stunning visitor count of 794,203 and over $91 million spent by clients after winnings. Notably, income has increased in recent months, with the three highest-grossing months coming since March.
