Hard Rock closing temporary Bristol Casino, full resort opens Thursday

Hard Rock International announced on Sunday that its temporary Bristol Casino will close on Monday at 3 a.m. to make way for the grand opening of the permanent resort on Thursday at noon.

The temporary Bristol Casino opened in July 2022 operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In September, the casino had 905 slot machines and 29 table games available to guests, according to a monthly report issued by the Virginia Lottery office.

“Players club memberships and Unity Points will transfer seamlessly from the temporary to the permanent casino, ensuring continued access to rewards and privileges,” Hard Rock said in their announcement. “The permanent facility boasts more than 620,000 square feet of gaming, entertainment, dining, and hospitality space.”

A grand opening ceremony on Thursday will feature a signature Hard Rock Guitar Smash event and a concert by country music artist Blake Shelton at the new entertainment venue. The facility is located at 500 Gate City Highway in Bristol, Va.

“Hard Rock’s rich history fits perfectly with Bristol’s distinction as the ‘Birthplace of Country Music,” said Jon Lucas, COO of Hard Rock International.

Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Bristol will feature nearly 1,500 slot machines, over 50 table games, a sportsbook, a 303-room hotel, and multiple dining options, including a signature Hard Rock Cafe, Council Oak Steaks & Seafood, YOUYU Asian Dining, Constant Grind, and the Marketplace. The facility will also house a Rock Shop, 2,000-plus seat Hard Rock Live, authentic music memorabilia, and much more.
