Went there this afternoon. It is very nice.

This is a real big deal for Sioux City. Sioux City is the smallest city that Hard Rock has put a casino in.

They are going to have 200 concerts a year here. Some pretty cool bands will perform here.

The Casino sits literally 2 blocks off of I29. I am sure they are marketing the travelers to stop in.

Very cool rock memorabilia in the casino.

Anyone coming through Sioux City let me know and I will meet you for a cold one.

What a shame. I was only there once but it seemed like a nice place to gamble.

Must have had some law changes there in Iowa. Used to be a Casino could only be on the river unless you operated on Indian land.

Now only if Iowa can work on allowing sports betting..

How 'bout horse racing? They allowing horse betting there at the Hard Rock in Iowa?

Not yet, but a friend of mine talked to an official at Hard Rock and he said maybe next year they will be adding dog and horse racing.
