Thousands of people packed the casino to see the songstress perform hits like Rhythm Nation”, “When I Think Of You”, “Miss You Much” and many others over nearly two hours. The legendary Janet Jackson chose Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena to close out the American leg of her State of the World Tour and the crowd responded by singing nearly every hit. Atlantic City has always been the home of great boxing and the Hard Rock has brought it back! In August, a sold-out crowd at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City saw a huge upset as Eleider Alvarez became the WBO Light Heavyweight champion when he sent Sergey Kovalev to the canvas in the seventh round. Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena is the premier mid-sized venue inside the hotel, and I have enjoyed several events inside.
The hotel and casino, which is set on 17 acres, has 2,100 slots, more than 2,000 rooms, 120 table games, over 20 restaurants and lounges, and more sitting on the world-famous Atlantic City Boardwalk. With some of the biggest names in entertainment stepping through the doors of the Hard Rock, including Drake, Janet Jackson, Pitbull and Kevin Hart to name a view, it is no surprise that it has become arguably the hottest destination in all of Atlantic City. Since opening June 2018, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City has reinvigorated the city with top-notch entertainment in its first six months of existence.
