A Hard Rock in Terredise? Highly Doubtful, as in never gonna happen
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_Rock_Cafe#Casinos_and_hotels

From today's IBS
[h=3][/h] [h=3]Indiana casino revenues continue to tumble[/h] While overall state funds continue to swell, one revenue source in particular is leaking badly: riverboat casinos. Revenue from the state’s 10 casinos sank by nearly 27 percent in August, compared to the same month last year, state officials report. Continuing a trend dating back to 2009, the shortfalls have been attributed to increased casino competition from neighboring states and overall economic anxiety. The state’s two racinos boasted a different dynamic, with a slight revenue increase from last year. AP has more, while noting that all bets are now off on casino revenue, given the introduction of sports wagering on Sept. 1.

Maybe not a HardRock - but I wouldn't go so far as to say never going to happen and maybe revenue is down - not even going to bother to dispute it because it doesn't matter. What does matter is one is coming to Terre Haute - so hopefully in can be just one additional step toward creating some jobs and making Terre Haute more of a destination for people.

The Hard Rock brand is essentially dead. The HR Casino here in Vegas is closing soon and being rebranded as Virgin.

It's unfortunate because it was the coolest casino to visit with all of the music themed stuff. Also has a Mexican restaurant called the Pink Taco -- that actually has awesome food. But I digress. The brand itself has gone the way of Planet Hollywood due to how accessible pop culture is these days.

Meh.

That story doesn't implicate Gibson at all... 2 dozers are sitting on the property already and GC's have made final decisions on what is a very aggressive completion timeline.

Good luck pushing that narrative - the TribStar doesn't have a clue they are just reporting whatever at this point. If it took a story over a week to make this site then it probably isn't that big of a deal.

The people who were always a bit dirty still are dirty - that is what this is about.

Time will see... Obviously, there were enough shady dealings for the Indiana Gaming Commission to launch an investigation; NOT aimed at Gibson but at how the latest casino projects were ok'd. Should Gibson worry? Not if he's innocent, and likely not as all as he's not part of the investigation - however, he's a business guy and often times projects like this come to a screeching halt for reasons beyond his control. Often times, investigations take on a life of their own...

Quick - tell me how oral sex from Monica Lewinsky was related to a real estate transaction in Arkansas?

See -- THAT's how investigations can run off the rails


as to the timeline of Trib-Star to SycamorePride posting... meh
if ScyamorePride was a net portal vice a sports-focused "blog-o-sphere" --- i'd lose a minutes of sleep over the "reporting delay"

agree, ain't no clean folks running casinos; they're a step above real estate developers
 
Whatever... I've seen enough waste of time waste of money investigations this year to know enough to be dangerous about how an investigation works.

Quick - I know nothing nor care nothing of anything to do with Monica Lewinsky.

See - THAT is how much I don't care at all.
 
I don't know about the casino, but I heard the plans for the strip club at Fruitridge and Ft Harrison are back on. Better get those pennies ready!
 
I drive past there every day and as SSOM said, they've moved two huge dozers in. They'll also marked utilities, so I think and hope it's full speed ahead. Watch Ozark and you'll see how dirty a casino developer can be lol. He's an ISU alum too, haha.

The casino should have been around 50+ years ago when Mayor Ralph Tucker was alive & in his heyday ....... adding legal gambling to thriving multiple whore houses etc. and the knack for keeping Indy politicians and the Feds out of hearing distance ................... lol.

Well, if it's essentially DEAD, someone needs to tell the HARDROCK folks at the SEMINOLE HARDROCK in Tampa that information; because they spent almost THREE QUARTERS of a BILLION DOLLARS expanding their HARDROCK. If you're ever in the area....it really is something to see inside and out....especially the area between the two hotels where three swimming pools are located.

I go there regularly, as it's on the way to Lakeland, FL where my Mom (and recently deceased) Dad lived for 34 years....

We went inside Seminole Hard Rock’s $720 million Tampa expansion

A colossal hotel, sprawling pool and spa and brand-new concert venue hold grand openings all weekend.

I live in Florida very close to I-4. I live I-4 east on the North East side of Orlando near Daytona Beach. I was hoping Terre Haute would get the Hard Rock Casino !! That would give me reason to go visit the area TH again !!

Not a big gambler either - although if I have some spare cash I prefer roulette as well! I'm pretty sure all 4 proposals have a sports book - thus far only one has presented and they have a sports book.
