With the grand opening of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Bristol on Thursday, employees are hard at work preparing for the doors to officially open to the public.

On Tuesday, employees held a team member rally to get everyone pumped up for opening day.

Lindsay Powers, Hard Rock Bristol’s Digital Marketing and Advertising Manager, said the rally was inspiring.

“If you see everyone around here, there is not one person that has not been working extremely hard these past few weeks to try and make this a really great product to show off to the Bristol community,” Powers said.
