Greektown Casino is set to open its expanded gaming floor on Aug. 29, weeks earlier than originally anticipated.
The opening of the 25,000-square-foot expansion will add about 700 slot machines, bringing Greektown's total to 3,000. The accelerated opening brings the end of construction closer at Greektown, which filed for bankruptcy protection in May and is the last of Detroit's three casinos to open a permanent casino and resort-style hotel.
"Our contractors will now spend the next few months finishing hotel rooms, hallways, the two-story lobby, state-of-the-art meeting space and the rest of the hotel features," Greektown Casino CEO Craig Ghelfi said in a statement. "We continue to move briskly on our construction timeline, with our expanded gaming floor set to open in late August 2008 and the hotel planned to be ready in early 2009."
