Hard Rock could not have picked a better time to break ground on its $500 million permanent casino.

Imagine the prospects for Bristol, Virginia without the hope brought by the company resurrecting the long dead Bristol Mall property into a bright, shiny, state-of-the art hotel and casino right off I-81 guaranteed to bring more lodging taxes, more meals taxes and attracting other businesses to build around the casino to benefit from the increased traffic that will be coming to Bristol.
