Following a newly expanded gambling law in the state of
Kansas, it was not long until casino and resort super power
Harrah's tried to take advantage. They recently submitted a $500 Million plan for a resort style casino in
Sumner County, Kansas. The plan is designed to drive tourism in Kansas and includes nothing but world class amenities. Of course the plan has a
Las Vegas like gaming floor with a
World Series of Poker room. Also several celebrity themed restaurants headed by
Food Network star
Paula Deen and country music star
Toby Keith. But no 500 acre resort casino would be complete without a 1,600 seat amphitheater for outdoor concerts, a 30,000 square foot conference center, and a championship golf course. The plan for the hotel part of the resort includes 275 luxury rooms, 30 suites, and 5private pool villas.
Though this plan may appear perfect it meets many challenges before it can become a reality. The first challenge is getting approved by the state which is still contemplating the law. And out doing its competitors who have also submitted plans like
MGM Mirage and
Foxwoods Development (who have joined forces in their plan),
Penn National Gaming Inc., and
Butler National Service Corp.
