The opening of the bar signifies the completion of the first phase of the $8 Million renovation project that the casino started earlier this year. Their new VIP lounge and high limit area, which were also completed as part of phase one, opened on Thursday, October 24. The VIP lounge allows select players access to a private room with plush seating and complimentary food and drinks. Additional phases of the project will be completed over the next several months with the full renovation expected to be done by the second quarter of 2020.
The remaining renovation work includes new carpeting, lighting and finishes throughout the casino floor as well as upgrading the casino bathrooms and adding self-service beverage centers. Once complete the entire look of the casino floor will match the new look of the bar and high limit slot area and more closely align with the modern architecture and design featured in the casino’s hotel.
The casino revitalization project has been overseen by lead architectural firm AJA, of Glens Falls and construction work has been completed by Consigli Construction of Albany.
