Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Review - CLOSED Jump to comments

The original Sportsman Park here was opened in 1934 by Al Capone and featured midget car racing, it was demolished in 1956 and became one of the nation's premier harness racing tracks, Northfield Park.  Now, visitors can experience the world's first Hard Rock Rocksino at Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park. Whether you come for the entertainment, great food, rock and roll, the race track next door, or the exhilarating gaming this is a one of a kind experience, even for long term and well traveled Hard Rockers. After all, Ohio is the birthplace of Rock and Roll (Cleveland's Alan Freed coined the term when he named his radio show the Moondog Rock and Roll Radio Hour on WJW).

Conveniently located 20 miles southeast of downtown Cleveland and 20 miles north of Akron the place is hopping with a new vibe and unforgettable moments 24 hours a day. With about 200,000 square feet of pure excitement you'll find your self surrounded by memorabilia from the legends of arena rock. Walk by the Center Bar in the heart of the Rocksino to lay your eyes on Eddie Van Halen’s chopped hog, check out the window displays for costumes from other great rockers like Ike and Tina Turner, or the Jackson 5. Your favorite rock band is probably represented somewhere here.

Drinking, dining, gambling, rocking out, it's all 24/7 at the Rocksino. Enjoy world famous cuisine at the Hard Rock Cafe or try something new to you at Kosar's Wood Fired Grill. Get your feet stomping to the beats of well known rockers like Huey Louis and the News, or the current top-name entertainment. Go to the heart of the action and order up at the Center Bar, right in the middle of the casino floor, and of course play on over 2,200 VLT's that let you gamble for pennies or high stakes. They even have two areas outside stocked with winning machines for those who like to smoke while they play. The VLT's (video lottery terminals) play just like your favorite slots with free spins, wild multipliers, and entire reels going wild!

For relaxed gaming experience, players can visit the High Limit room and High Limit outdoor gaming that delivers 70 of the best VLT games awarding jackpots of more than $250,000.
