By Phil - 23 June 2014
Hard Rock International, the owner of one of the world’s most iconic and recognised brands, is working with NYS Funding for the potential development of a Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Rensselaer, New York.
The proposed entertainment destination would be located at the DeLaet’s Landing site along the Hudson River in Rensselaer and would feature a mix of gaming and non-gaming amenities, including casino table games, slots, hotel rooms, and world-class food and beverage options.
Jim Allen, chairman of Hard Rock International, said: “Hard Rock International is thrilled to collaborate with NYS Funding LLC to potentially create a world class facility in Rensselaer within the Capital Region, as it would become an important economic engine for the community. We look forward to lending our global recognition, strong legacy of philanthropy and entertainment, and proven experience to this project. We are confident that this Hard Rock Hotel & Casino will positively impact the community’s economy.”
“Hard Rock is an internationally recognised brand known for high quality offerings across the globe,” said Dan Dwyer, mayor of Rensselaer. “Introducing the Hard Rock brand to the region and to our city greatly elevates the excitement around this project and will make the resort casino even more attractive and successful as a destination for the local community and visitors alike.”
More details about the proposed casino project will be released in the Request for Application submitted by NYS Funding LLC by the June 30 deadline.
Internationally recognised as a world-class entertainment and lifestyle brand, Hard Rock Hotels & Casinos offer stylish and contemporary design, unparalleled service and the thread that unites them all – music. Hard Rock’s current Hotel and Casino portfolio is located in the world’s most desirable resort destinations, as well as urban gateway cities. The dynamic properties cater to the evolving and distinctive needs of today’s cosmopolitan, modern travelers, who seek a reprieve from traditional, predictable accommodations, whether for business or leisure travel, and who connect with the authentic and powerful Hard Rock vibe.
