READ MORE: Meet CEO Jim Allen, Guitar Hero of the Hard Rock “We look forward to the opportunity of enhancing our presence in Las Vegas, which will always be one of the most iconic entertainment markets in the world.” “This agreement marks an exciting chapter for Hard Rock, in Las Vegas and beyond,” said Jim Allen, Chairman, Hard Rock International. The transaction, of an undisclosed amount, grants HRI exclusive rights to memorabilia, signage and merchandise, along with intellectual property rights for affiliated restaurant and entertainment trademarks and website domain names. Now nothing stands in the way of the Seminole Tribe of Florida developing, owning, licensing, managing or operating a Hard Rock-branded casino and resort in Las Vegas, or anywhere within Clark County, Nevada. Hard Rock International (HRI) has acquired all rights to the Hard Rock brand and related trademarks in Las Vegas from Houston-based private equity firm, Juniper Capital. This week, the Seminole Tribe’s behemoth enterprise expanded even further. The Seminole Tribe’s 2006 purchase of Hard Rock International marked a milestone in Indian gaming, as the first time a Tribe acquired a major, international company.
