The
Seminole Tribe will unveil its Hard Rock gaming and entertainment facility in New Jersey on June 28.
The
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City is promising more than 2,100 slot machines, 120 table games and a 7,000-seat concert venue with an impressive lineup of events, NJ Advance Media reported. Already, 300 shows have been booked.
"The grand opening of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City will set the tone for a new era of entertainment in Atlantic City. Our $500 million, newly reimagined property will offer something for everyone and we're thrilled to welcome our first guests in June," Jim Allen, the chairman and CEO of
Hard Rock
International, said in a
press release on Wednesday.
The facility is located at the former
Trump Taj Mahal, which was once owned by the current U.S. president. The tribe and its partners purchased the 17-acre property for $50 million, far less than the $1.2 billion that Donald Trump said he put into the namesake casino.
As Allen noted in the release, Hard Rock invested $500 million in revamping the facility. The goal was to rid it of Trump's garish "Indian" theme.
“One thing I can promise is no minarets,” Allen said at a press conference in New York City, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
