The 201-room casino and resort has been under construction for almost 20 months on a 50-acre site near the 215 Beltway and South Durango Drive. “The most important thing is that the level of service on the day that we opened is at the highest quality that it can be.”Ĭootey said the delayed opening won’t lead to any additional costs that would cause the company to increase the budget beyond $780 million.
“We didn't feel like it gave us enough time to properly train our staff and our team members in the venues and be able to have the appropriate load-in days and then play days,” Fertitta said, describing pre-opening days for a casino resort. Fertitta did not say if the areas were restaurants or portions of the casino floor.
