Paula Peterson, South Tahoe Now
The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in South Lake Tahoe announced this week they will be hosting six to eight outdoor concerts this summer. The rear parking lot at the Stateline property will be converted into an outdoor amphitheater that will seat up to 7,500 people.
In a venture with PR Entertainment, Inc., owned by former Caesars Entertainment Director Paul Reder, Hard Rock is looking to attract top-name national artists to the Lake Tahoe area. They plan on starting the concerts in June and concluding on Labor Day weekend.
“We’re excited to take the energy and vibe of Vinyl outside on a much grander scale with bigger bands and performances during the core summer months and further complement the already outstanding entertainment offered at South Shore,” said Don Marrandino, senior vice president of operations for Warner Hospitality. “PR Entertainment, Inc. was the logical choice to help us bring the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Lake Tahoe outdoor concert series to life with their in-market experience and strong relationships in the industry.”
Concert dates and performances will be announced in the coming weeks and tickets will be available at www.HardRockCasinoLakeTahoe.com, www.PREpresents.com or www.TicketFly.com.
This joint effort will work in tandem with the Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority and the South Lake Tahoe tourism industry to ensure complementary targeting of shows during the summer season and to further support the region’s commitment to quality entertainment.
David and Jon Park, owners of the property, teamed with Warner Hospitality to create South Shore’s newest casino and hotel. They have invested $60 million that was unveiled at a January grand opening.
The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Lake Tahoe is South Shore’s newest and fully integrated gaming resort. The property features 539 rooms and suites, a 25,000 plus square foot casino offering over 500 slot machines and a variety of table games, multiple restaurants and bars, a vast collection of rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia.
