BILOXI --
Even luckier than 7/7/07 is an early opening for Hard Rock Casino, pushed up from the original date to this Saturday at 10 a.m.
The huge sign that survived Hurricane Katrina was officially lit this morning and Joe Billhimer, president of the Biloxi Hard Rock Casino, told employees and the media, "Get ready."
Celebrities and VIPs begin arriving this weekend for the grand opening festivities. Grammy award-winning band 3 Doors Down opens Hard Rock Live July 5 and Kid Rock plays July 7.
The guitar smash that opens every Hard Rock will be July 7 at 3 p.m. Fans are greeted with a two-story memorabilia wall when they enter the Hard Rock and items from music history are displayed throughout the $235 million hotel and casino.
