Hard Rock Rocksino is a 155,000-square-foot gaming and entertainment facility adjacent to Northfield Park’s grandstand in Northfield, Ohio, designed by WATG (formerly SOSH Architects) in collaboration with Richard L. Bowen & Associates — the first gaming property in Hard Rock’s portfolio to be branded a Rocksino. The facility houses a gaming floor with 2,300 slot machines, a 2,000-seat music hall, a Hard Rock Café and casino centre bar, a high limit slot room, a buffet, steakhouse, and bistro, alongside multiple outdoor gaming and smoking areas.

As Hard Rock’s 2012 Project Development Partner of the Year, SOSH Architects, in collaboration with Richard L. Bowen & Associates, was the clear choice to design the entertainment company’s first gaming property to be branded a “Rocksino.”
The 155,000 square foot standalone facility was built adjacent to Northfield Park’s grandstand to vastly expand guests’ entertainment options. Venues within the all-new Rocksino include a gaming floor boasting 2,300 slot machines, a 2,000-seat music hall, a buffet, steakhouse, and bistro.
To establish and convey Hard Rock’s Rocksino image, SOSH incorporated timeless yet contemporary design elements for a Hard Rock Cafe and casino center bar, a high limit slot room, and multiple outdoor gaming rooms and smoking areas.
