A hotel will join the myriad gaming, entertainment and dining options available at the Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana.
Just not any time soon.
Jon Lucas, chief operating officer at Hard Rock International, told the Indiana Gaming Commission Thursday that despite the overwhelming success of its Gary property since opening 19 months ago, it simply isn’t right time to construct an adjacent hotel.
“Unfortunately, with the economic uncertainty right now, we’ve paused that,” Lucas said.
Lucas reiterated to the state gaming authority Hard Rock remains interested in eventually bringing a multistory hotel to its Steel City destination and is acquiring nearby parcels of land to replace the parking that some day will be lost to a hotel.
