The Missouri River Historical Development (MRHD) has released a statement stating Hard Rock will be the new casino coming to Sioux City. After months of arguing with Penn, MRHD decided to end the contract after an agreement couldn’t be reached. This is great news for the Sioux City area. It’s said to bring 500 jobs to the area. The location is set to go downtown, off of water. This could be the chance to bring the downtown area back to life. Summer of 2014 is the set goal for the casino to open. It’s going to be very interesting to see how the downtown area changes when Hard Rock opens.
