Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena

Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City

This summer, Hard Rock Hotel and Casino is celebrating the deployment of its world-renowned brand on Atlantic City's famous Boardwalk with a $500 million complete renovation of the former Trump Taj Mahal. Visitors from all over the East Coast will be welcomed with new interior design, new restaurants and a highly diversified entertainment offer.

It is within this context that Hard Rock decided to increase the capacity of the Etess Arena and improve the venue’s overall customer experience. The company approached Scéno Plus to find theatrical design solutions and modifications that would really make the difference.
