$75 Million Casino in Works
A new, $75 million casino is in the works for Tunica, and Askew Nixon Ferguson Architects is the company that has been selected to design the brand new casino. The companies that chose Askew Nixon was Abston-McKay Ventures LLC and Lakes Entertainment Inc. The casino will be named the Sportsman Casino and Lodge. The design for the brand new casino is scheduled to be complete by the month of October, with construction on the new casino beginning towards the end of the 2010 year, and the casino could open to the public by the end of 2011. A representative from Askew Nixon had the following to say about the company’s biggest deal in a very long time:
“It was pretty grim for the first two and a half months (this year), but we’re starting to see some things come in. A lot of our big clients like FedEx and the University of Memphis are starting to crank up some things that were on hold.”
Abston-McKay is located in Oxford, Mississippi, and Lakes Entertainment is based in Minnetonka, Minnesota. The two companies are working together on the project. The new casino will be located on the site of the old Isle of Capri Casino, close to Sam’s Town Casino and Hotel on the casino strip. The Isle of Capri Casino left a 220 room hotel behind when it closed its doors in 2002, which will be remodeled by Askew Nixon. Askew Nixon will design and build a brand new building for the casino. The CEO of Abston-McKay Ventures, Kevin Hunter, had the following to say about the partnership:
“We went with them because (Askew has) a great vision of this area and world-class credentials in the gaming industry. There are a lot of people throwing out ideas on this project and he’s keeping us pulled together to keep the focus on this project.”
The brand new casino will feature a 40,000 square foot room for gaming, a 1,200 seat theater, and one of the largest buffets around the casino industry. There will also be a 5,000 square foot VIP players lounge, brand new swimming pools, a poker room and plenty of retail space. The hotel will also increase its number of rooms to 230. The Mississippi Gaming Commission approved the proposal for the project in March of 2010. Askew also said the following:
“We’re really going to gut it so everything will be brand new, from wall surfaces to fixtures and carpeting. You won’t even know you’re in an older building.”
