Bally’s Corp., has said it will start construction later this month on Casino KC in Kansas City, having been granted approval for the $40m redevelopment project of the former Isle of Capri Kansas City casino.
The Master Plan Development will replace the riverboat-themed facade of the building with a modern aesthetic. The company also plans a new restaurant, retail, spa and amphitheater and a revamped main entrance with an official groundbreaking ceremony in August and a completion date of Autumn 2022.
Mike Donovan, Vice President and General Manager at Casino KC, said: “We are improving the entire customer experience at Casino KC from the main entrance to destination dining opportunities, and are revitalising the property to make our mark as Kansas City’s casino of choice. We are proud to be a part of the vibrant downtown Kansas City community, and our modern design will complement the scenic Berkley Riverfront.”
Jon Stephens, President & CEO at Port KC, added: “Casino KC continues to demonstrate their commitment to our community. This significant reinvestment in the long-neglected riverfront further supports our efforts to transform the Berkley Park neighborhood into a vibrant area for all to enjoy.”
The casino overlooks the Missouri River in close proximity to downtown Kansas City and the Berkeley Riverfront. The property reopened on June 1st, currently has the ability to operate all amenities and consists of approximately 40 thousand square feet of casino space, 939 gaming machines, 13 table games and two dining venues. It is located at a premier location on the riverfront near downtown and is readily accessible to suburban traffic.
