A massive expansion is under way at the Coeur d'Alene Casino Resort and is expected to be finished in the spring of 2011.
The $85 million project, which broke ground in June of last year, will add two new four-story buildings and nearly 100 hotel rooms. The resort will now be home to a total of 300 rooms, including two new wings overlooking the resort’s Circling Raven Golf Club.
In addition, the expansion will include a centerpiece pub area called Yap-Keehn-Um (which means "gathering place" in the Coeur d'Alene Tribe's Salishan language), a gourmet steakhouse, a fitness center, a 15,000-square-foot deluxe spa and pool as well as a 10-acre area that will offer a natural amphitheater for concerts and other outdoor events.
