Next year is expected to be a busy year, as crews will be starting work on the permanent facility of the new Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Bristol.
Around $500 million all in — that’s how much the price-tag is estimated for the permanent facility. With ground on the full site broken earlier this month, officials say it is time to get dirt turning with a few tweaks to the original plans.
“What changed was due to some supply chain issues and some construction costs that were escalating, we took another look at what the best way is to do this — and we found that tearing down the Sears building would be cheaper than trying to retrofit the Sears building,” said Jon Lucas, Hard Rock International Chief Operating Officer.
