The construction of the outer structure of the Hard Rock Casino Rockford has been completed. On July 12, 2023, the final steel beam was lifted on the top of the construction and traditionally installed to represent a significant milestone in the resort’s development reportedly scheduled to open in August of 2024.

Significant Milestone:

The latest milestone of the Hard Rock Casino Rockford‘s development on East State Street of the city was reportedly attended by the company representatives and the Winnebago County leaders. The steel beam hoisted into place on the occasion was available for the guests’ signatures as the activity marked the completion of the outer structure of the casino.

Building Permanent Facility:

As reported, Hard Rock International Chief Operating Officer Jon Lucas said: “This is a great milestone, but it is only one more steppingstone to get us to the finish line. I know when you look behind me and see this building, it really brings things to reality. Obviously, we are going to build a permanent facility, and we are going to bring Hard Rock here to Rockford. This is just another step along the way.”

Casino Features:

The milestone reached by Hard Rock and the construction firm Ringland Johnson Construction brings the Hard Rock Casino Rockford project a huge step closer to the launch scheduled for late August 2024. Hard Rock’s property will reportedly feature a 180,000-square-foot gaming floor with 1,300 slot machines and 44 live table games, as well as a sportsbook and a six-table live poker room. The casino will also include the brand associated Hard Rock Café and Hard Rock Live facilities for a comprehensive visitor experience.

The casino will also include some legendary brand features to attract more gaming and entertainment enthusiasts. Dave Vella, the state representative, reportedly said that the milestone reached by Hard Rock Rockford on July 12 represents an exciting time for the region.
