Hard Rock-themed casino gets support in Sioux City – 7
If approved for a gaming license, it won’t be long before work begins on a Hard Rock Casino in Sioux City. It would be located at the site of the old Battery Building and the projected cost is $100 million. The plan is that it will replace the Argosy Casino. It will target a lot of people because not only is it a casino but it also includes 3 restaurants and a beer garden. They determined that Sioux City was a good fit for a new Hard Rock Casino because of our history and culture and love of this brand of music.
This is a newsworthy story in Siouxland because it will have a huge effect on the area. The casino will provide over 500 new jobs not to mention all the t0urism it will bring in. This story to me seems only newsworthy to the area so it surprised me when I found an article about it on CBSnews.com. Granted it was a lot shorter than the story the Sioux City Journal published but I was surprised they mentioned it at all. The Hard Rock Cafe is a big name brand which is probably why it was mentioned; I just can’t believe we might be getting one in Sioux City.
