Local merchants are betting the new Hard Rock casino in Bristol will have a positive effect on the city’s economy as they prepare for its opening.
The new temporary 30,000-square-foot casino is set to open to the public today, and those at some of the hotels, restaurants, stores and other attractions are excited about the potential it may bring to the area. The facility will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and feature 870 gaming slots, 20 tables and a variety of other gaming options.
Even before the casino opens at the former Bristol Mall, it’s already brought added business to some local establishments.
