A Rock Shop opened in April and a Hard Rock Café – with a stage and dance floor for live music events – is nearing completion, too. “In parallel, we’re doing our research on what type of hotel, size, amenities.”Ĭovid-19 curfew restrictions were lifted in February and the rebranding efforts began in earnest once again. “We still have plans to do a Hard Rock Hotel, but we wanted to get through phase one first,” he told the Courier. Goldhoff said several projects at the property were paused, including work on a Hard Rock Hotel. “We do a lot of our business in the evening time.”
“That affected us in a big way,” he said.
Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati’s president George Goldhoff told the Cincinnati Business Courier recently that at the time, the casino had to start the process of closing even earlier to make sure customers were gone by 10 p.m. In November 2020, for example, there was a statewide curfew which required the casino to close at 10 p.m. When allowed to reopen, there were restrictions on alcohol sales and mandatory curfews. In Ohio, casinos were mandated to close from March 13, 2020, through June 19, 2020. George Goldhoff is president of the Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati, which is expected to be fully unveiled this summer.
