ROCKFORD (WREX) — The much-anticipated grand opening date for Rockford’s long-awaited casino has finally been revealed. Hard Rock International announced today that Hard Rock Casino Rockford’s permanent facility will officially open its doors to the public on Thursday, August 29, 2024. The event will feature a star-studded Guitar Smash, in true Hard Rock tradition, and is scheduled to commence at approximately 3:00 p.m.
Months before the permanent location opens, the manager searches for over 400 roles to be filled.
“I’d like to thank the Rockford community and State of Illinois for welcoming Hard Rock and our unique brand of world-class entertainment to the greater region,” expressed Jon Lucas, Chief Operating Officer at Hard Rock International. “The economic impact of this casino will provide hundreds of new jobs and boost the entertainment options for anyone living near or visiting Rockford. We are thrilled to welcome this new property to our global portfolio of over 300 Hard Rock venues.”

“We are extremely proud of our team members who helped make our initial Opening Act location a success, and we welcome all those new to the team who have worked so hard preparing for this long-awaited day,” shared Geno Iafrate, President of Hard Rock Casino Rockford. “It’s been 30 years in the making for Rockford and the wait is over.
