Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Kenosha - Menominee Tribe's $360M Resort Project

Construction Updates

Construction has not yet begun on the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Kenosha project. The development remains in the federal trust-land and environmental review phase, which is the final major step before site work can begin. The Draft Environmental Assessment released by the BIA in 2026 reported minimal or insignificant impacts across key categories such as traffic, water resources, and public services.

Local approvals are already in place: both the City of Kenosha and Kenosha County have approved the intergovernmental agreements supporting the project. Once federal approval and governor concurrence are secured, Hard Rock will be able to begin site preparation, utility work, and vertical construction.

The Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin's Hard Rock Kenosha project describes a 346,000-square-foot casino-resort developed under Alternative A. The project includes a full Class III gaming facility, a 150-room hotel, a Hard Rock Live entertainment venue, multiple dining venues, and extensive parking and site infrastructure. (www.bia.gov)
