The most visible piece to Ameristar’s renovation puzzle will be a 14-story, 400-room hotel to begin after the garage is done. One piece of the renovation, an 1,100-space parking deck is about half complete, with the finishing touches expected to be added by mid-summer 2007, Neilsen said.Ī “connector room” will link the enhanced parking lot to a raised casino and will house a VIP room, two restaurants, a poker room and gaming space to accommodate about 8,000 more slots. “It added about another $8 million to it,” Neilsen said.
When complete, the raising project will increase the size and scope of Ameristar’s estimated $150 million expansion.
