As anticipation bubbles over like a high-stakes dice roll, the clock is ticking down to the grand unveiling of the Hard Rock Bristol’s casino floor this Thursday, November 14. But though the roulette wheels are ready to spin, and the cards are shuffled, there’s one piece of the puzzle yet to fall in place — filling the ranks of the property’s bustling workforce by the time the hotel opens its doors on Sunday, November 17. It seems this spectacle still has a few wild cards up its sleeve.
Thousands of Roles Filled, A Handful More in the Wings at Bristol Virginia
Picture this: over 1,000 eager beavers have already joined the ranks, but the recruitment roulette isn’t quite over. The house is still a “couple of hundred” positions short, a tantalizing jackpot for job seekers looking to cash in immediately. While having some aces up your sleeve in the form of experience is preferred, enthusiasm and the readiness to dive headfirst into the action could just as well land you a spot on this dream team.
And here’s the kicker — high rollers in specific fields like spa services, bartending, and security are particularly sought after, with these roles being as coveted as a royal flush. With foot traffic set to rival the busiest of Las Vegas nights, these roles are critical to keeping the scene as vibrant as a packed poker table.
Interesting twist of fate for the folks who previously spun the wheel at the temporary site: if you’ve yet to snag an invite back for the permanent edition, a reapplication might just be the golden ticket. The new venue is ready to roll with 1,500 slot machines and 50 live dealer table games, primed to generate thrills aplenty.
No casino worth its salt would be complete without a Hard Rock Sportsbook. This staple is set to let visitors dive headlong into heart-pounding sports action, betting, and all the nail-biting moments they can handle.
Hard Rock Casino Poised to Deal a Jackpot to the Local Economy
More than just a gambling haven, the resort is set to hit the jackpot with cultural offerings, including a 2,000-seat Hard Rock Live concert hall. Opening night promises an experience to remember, featuring the sold-out performance by Shelton. As the pioneer of integrated casino resorts in Virginia, Hard Rock Bristol is not just playing for peanuts but is boldly betting on delivering a substantial economic shot in the arm for the region.
The buzz is already palpable. Take a peek into the past — the temporary casino quite literally raked in the chips with an eye-popping $16.3 million in adjusted gross revenue this past April. It’s clear that what’s being built here is more than just a casino; it’s a lifeline, an economic dynamo, a pure adrenaline rush of opportunity. So, as the countdown continues, all bets are on the Hard Rock Bristol setting the stage for an unparalleled economic windfall.
