    BRISTOL, VA – As anticipation builds for the grand opening of Virginia's first-ever casino, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Bristol hosts a significant hiring event, offering job seekers a chance to join the team at this landmark destination. With the casino’s grand opening just around the corner, the event aims to fill hundreds of open positions across various departments.

    The hiring event will take place on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the future Hard Rock Hotel & Casino site, located at 500 Gate City Highway in Bristol, VA. Job seekers attending the event can explore numerous opportunities in fields such as Food and Beverage, Culinary, Cage Operations, Facilities, Hotel Operations, Spa, and Table Games.

    Diverse Opportunities Amid Growing Excitement

    The casino is looking to fill over 50 Table Games Dealer positions, with dealer training set to begin on September 19, 2024. This highlights the casino's commitment to offering a robust gaming experience, a cornerstone of its appeal. Additionally, the facility must fill roles across various departments, including hotel services, spa, and food and beverage operations.

    "With the opening of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Bristol, we are not just launching a new casino but creating a significant number of jobs in the region," said Allie Evangelista, President of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Bristol, in a recent statement. "We’re excited to bring a unique blend of hospitality and entertainment to Bristol and are looking for enthusiastic individuals to be part of our team."

    Competitive Benefits to Attract Top Talent

    The casino offers a comprehensive benefits package to attract top talent. Employees can expect competitive pay, including weekly payments, paid time off, retail discounts, and tuition reimbursement. Additionally, the casino offers a 401(k) plan to help employees plan for their futures. These benefits and the allure of working at a world-renowned brand like Hard Rock make this an appealing opportunity for job seekers.

    A Major Boost for Bristol’s Economy

    The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Bristol, located at the former Bristol Mall site, is expected to significantly impact the region. According to a Chmura Economics & Analytics study, the casino is projected to generate over $400 million in annual revenue and create approximately 2,000 jobs. This boost is especially critical for Bristol, a city historically challenged by economic downturns.

    The temporary casino opened in July 2022 and has already proven to be a major attraction, drawing visitors from across the region. The upcoming grand opening of the permanent facility is expected to solidify Bristol’s status as a key entertainment hub in the Southeast.
