Hard Rock looks to buy The Star, add tasteful glass guitars to Australian skylines
Star Entertainment is considering an investment approach by Hard Rock Hotels and Resorts, which will see The Star rebranded as Hard Rock, and tasteful glass guitars added to the skyline of three Australian cities.
The Star operates casinos in Sydney, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast, and is currently embroiled in a second inquiry regarding its suitability to hold a gaming licence.
The injection of funds from Hard Rock will help with any “serious and systemic non-compliance” fines that come with any breaches of anti-money laundering laws, while the addition of three giant glass guitar-shaped buildings to the Darling Harbour, Brisbane, and Gold Coast skylines will certainly deflect any discussions regarding said anti-laundering breaches.
