GARY, Ind. - A larger-than-life guitar will now greet visitors at the new Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana.
The 37-foot-tall marquee was officially unveiled Thursday in Gary.
The oversized guitar is based on Joe Jackson's original guitar from 1965, also known as the "Guitar that Changed the World."
