Project Description
To meet the critical grand opening date, a seven-day, 24-hour fast-track construction schedule was used to complete the casino and parking garage in 156 days. This three-story floating casino included gaming areas, three restaurants, state-of-the-art child care facilities, lounges, and retail space with an attached four-story, 1000-space parking garage. An adjacent 18-story, 400-room hotel included banquet and convention facilities and an indoor pool. The resort also included a seven-story, 594-room hotel connected by an enclosed, climate controlled sky bridge. Amenities include a full service health spa, meeting rooms, retail area and a three-acre themed water park recreation area with an outdoor cabana and restaurant. Offsite, the 19,000 sf stone and log Grand Bear Clubhouse sits adjacent to an Arnold Palmer designed course.
