Future plans call for the property to be expanded with the addition of a 200-room Hard Rock hotel on the property. The $150,000,000 casino is operated by Hard Rock International owned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida. Powers & Sons is one of three firms that comprised the JV general contracting and construction management team. A Hard Rock Cafe, Asian noodle bar, and plush, high-end steakhouse are among the five food concepts.
The casino features a High Limit Slots room, VIP areas, a sportsbook, an acoustically pure Hard Rock Live indoor concert venue with unobstructed sight lines, and gift shop. Patrons can play 1,637 of the most popular slots as well as video poker and video roulette. The 150,000 SF main gaming area holds 80 tables with games like Blackjack, Mini Baccarat, Pai Gow, and Spanish 21. Inside, the gaming floor features a grand walkway with art chandelier. A 37-foot signature neon guitar marks the main entrance. Surrounding the 210,000 SF casino are roads, walkways, and surface parking for 2,340 vehicles and tour buses.
A 200-room hotel will be built at a later date. The new 300M casino features 1,700 slots, 80 table games, sportsbook, 5 restaurants, 2 bars, and a Hard Rock Live entertainment venue. The new Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana celebrated its May 14 grand opening with a traditional guitar-smashing ceremony and live music including a performance by Chicago blues great, Mr. Hard Rock Casino in Gary has become the top earning casino in Indiana since opening May 14, 2021.
