Hard Rock Casino Rockford Grand Opening

"Entertainment is at the heart of Hard Rock Casino Rockford"

Those are the words of Geno Iafrate, President of Hard Rock Casino Rockford.

I've waited, we've waited a long time for live music to return to the Rockford area on this particular weekend since the end of the On The Waterfront festival.

Here are some more words from Geno:

"We're all about creating memorable experiences, and we’re ready to showcase industry-leading musical acts to provide our guests with an unforgettable opening weekend and give them a taste of what’s to come."

We've also been waiting patiently for the Hard Rock Casino construction to be completed at 7801 E. State Street in Rockford. I'm most excited about the entertainment venue and food options this brand will provide us.

Here are my favorite words Geno shared in today's press release.

Get ready to rock with us!”
