|
Following the completion of the new parking garage and the new 400-room hotel and gaming floor expansion, Greektown Casino owners in Detroit, Michigan, recently began the construction of the casino's permanent facility. The project carries a $475 million price tag, which includes $275 million already spent on the temporary facility and $200 million to be allocated for the new hotel, parking garage and gaming floor expansion. Currently, the Mediterranean-themed casino offers up to 2,400 slot machines and 92 table games, such as blackjack and poker.
On top of the new hotel and parking garage, the permanent casino facility is designed to boast a 25,000-square-foot gaming floor expansion, a 1,500-seat entertainment theater, meeting and convention room space, a spa and additional gormet restaurants. The hotel and garage will be connected to the gaming venue through moving walkways.
Aaron Payment, chairperson of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, owners of Greektown Casino, was quoted as saying, "With this groundbreaking, we celebrate more jobs and revenues for Detroit and our state, the start of a magnificent new resort destination in the heart of Detroit, and additional resources to support programs and services for members of the Sault Tribe." Marvin Beatty, a local Greektown Casino investor, said, "This is a significant day for the City of Detroit and an historic moment for Greektown Casino."
