The footprint of the Bristol Casino might not appear to have changed too much over the past nine months.
Machinery continues to pull pieces of the former Sears and JCPenney buildings as guests travel to the back of the building where the temporary casino lures curious gamers, anxious to see what slots and table games await them at Virginia’s first casino.
But soon, the building will look less like a former mall and more like a signature Hard Rock building.
“Because we demoed the Sears and JCPenney building, we gained a lot of parking space,” said Allie Evangelista, the president of the upcoming Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Bristol.
