In an exclusive video interview with Yogonet conducted late last week, Allie Evangelista, Hard Rock Bristol's President, explains this is a n area where people had to travel far to get to a casino, and current volumes are in line with an opening there, catering to customers who live within approximately a 90-minute drive, who have been the most regular guests so far. It also offers restaurants such as Lucky’s, Brick’d, and sports bar and lounge Bristol Bar. The space includes a main casino floor as well as non-smoking and high-limit gaming areas. The temporary site has 30,000 square feet of casino space featuring 870 slots, 21 tables, and a sportsbook, all open to the public 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

The state of Virginia took the first step to embrace the casino industry on July 8, when “Bristol Casino - Future Home of Hard Rock” opened its doors to the public in a temporary venue, while Hard Rock builds the permanent complex targeting a May 2024 opening at the old Bristol Mall location.
