Hard Rock Opening Act, Rockford’s temporary casino at 610 N. Bell School Road, officially closed for good at 5 a.m., Monday.
But not all is lost. In 17 days, the permanent Hard Rock Casino at 7801 E. State St., where the Clock Tower Resort once stood, will open its doors.
Rockford resident Tom Tendall was the last guest to walk out of the temporary casino Monday. “I feel privileged to be part of it,” Tendall said. “It’s been a really good experience.”
As the last of the more 1.5 million guests at the temporary casino since it opened in November 2021, Tendall was given the honor of locking the door for the last time.
