GARY â It won t be too much longer before Hard Rock officials press play on Northwest Indiana s newest gaming and entertainment destination.
Matt Schuffert, president of the Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana, confirmed Friday the $300 million facility, which includes a casino, sports book, five restaurants, a Hard Rock Live performance venue and retail shops remains on track to open this spring adjacent to the Borman Expressway at Burr Street. We should be announcing an opening date pretty soon, Schuffert said. We re very excited to get it open. We re making great progress.
Hard Rock currently is in the process of hiring hundreds of new employees to supplement the Majestic Star Casino workers who will transfer to the new Gary casino once the land-based gaming facility opens and replaces the aging Majestic Star boats located at Buffington Harbor on Lake Michigan.
About 100 Region vendors participated in a vendor information session at Arthouse: A Social Kitchen in Gary with executives of the Gary casino and Hard Rock International.
