Saturday marks 90 days in business for the Bristol Casino: Future Home of Hard Rock. Officials in Bristol, Virginia say they’ve hit the jackpot with the casino now in operation.
President of the casino, Allie Evangelista, says she’s happy with the first three months of being in business. “We are getting better at what we do. Our guests are providing feedback and we are adjusting and trying to provide a better experience for them.”
Bristol, Virginia Mayor Anthony Farnum says after years of planning, it’s great to have the casino be a reality. “Obviously it’s a big provider of jobs in the area. It’s a provider of tax revenues — obviously there’s the gaming tax, and there’s other tax revenues the city is benefiting from.”
