Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Hard Rock International is forging ahead and has recently announced plans to hold in-person events for potential Bristol casino jobs and vendors.
Later this week, there will be events focused on women in leadership, community vendor fair, and career information session. These events are free and open to all.
The Bristol Chamber of Commerce collaborated with Hard Rock for the events on Friday and Saturday.
The sessions will be held at the former Belk location on the lower level of Bristol Mall, situated at 500 Gate City Highway in Bristol. To ensure the safety of all participants, officials will enforce coronavirus precautions throughout the event.
Should a voter referendum in Bristol on Nov. 3 prove successful, the $400 million Hard Rock Bristol Hotel and Casino will be granted approval by the city’s 18,000 residents. Subsequently, the Bristol Mall will undergo renovation to accommodate the casino, hotel, and entertainment complex.

A vote for Hard Rock Bristol?
Voters hold the power to determine the future of Hard Rock Bristol.
In the event of a successful ballot initiative, construction would promptly commence, leading to the probable opening of the casino in 2025.
Despite facing opposition, particularly from four local churches, the project has gained support from the Bristol newspaper as indicated in a recent editorial.
Supporters, including the editorial board of the Bristol Herald Courier, proudly highlight the project’s potential to generate employment opportunities.
At first, Hard Rock anticipates employing 2,000 individuals at an average salary of $46,500. Nevertheless, the total number of employees could increase to 5,200 within seven years from the opening of Hard Rock Bristol.
The project has local business leaders and investors, Jim McGlothlin and Clyde Stacy, leading the way. In their presentation, they have emphasized the project’s potential to generate $20 million in tax revenues for Bristol each year. They have also highlighted the project’s ability to attract more tourists to the city, capitalizing on its vibrant country music heritage.
