As it was reported, the company has recently granted land to Hard Rock International for a massive tourist resort to be built on it valued more than $1 billion. In return for granting this land, the company will be provided forty percent shares of the holding company thanks to the land distribution. At the same time, Hard Rock International will maintain sixty percent holding as well as be in charge of funding, operations, and management.

As it was reported, Hard Rock International wants to use this newly granted land in Mexico City to build its second, guitar-shaped hotel and resort which will possibly include forty-eight floors with a massive betting area managed and operated by Codere.
It was also revealed that licensing has already been provided for forty-four floors of the facility. According to the official Hard Rock International’s press release, in the case of this business agreement with Codere moving forward, the company plans on submitting its official proposal which will detail more info.
In the meantime, the company is focused on its Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Hollywood which should open its doors on the 24th of October. This is the first Hard Rock guitar-shaped hotel featuring six hundred and thirty-eight modern, luxurious guest suites and rooms. The facility is actually a massive, $1.5 billion-worth expansion of the iconic Hollywood property that opened on the 11th of May, 2011.
This iconic facility is located on a massive, one hundred acres property of the Hollywood Reservation, Florida. Currently, the property includes one hotel tower, a massive poker room, casino floor, pool facility, shops, restaurants, nightclubs, spas and the Hard Rock event center. Hard Rock International operates several other facilities of this kind across the United States including Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Atlantic City.
