The Hard Rock Casino is planning a grand opening ceremony on Aug. 29, with a guitar smashing to mark the completion of the permanent casino location.

Pending regulatory approval, the casino will be open to the public on that day with the doors opening at approximately 3 p.m., according to a news release from casino operators.

“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,” said 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.”
