Upstate NY Casino Revamps

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y.

As it nears its 10th anniversary in Niagara Falls, plans for a series of upgrades to the Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel have been announced. The news comes after the company previously revealed plans to add a $53 million hotel tower this fall, which will add 201 rooms to the property.

In the casino, both the Thunder Falls Buffet and the Chairman's Club VIP area will be revamped before New Year's Eve, when the Senecas mark their 10th year in the Falls. Construction will begin shortly after Labor Day and is expected to take six to eight weeks, officials said. A temporary lounge area will be available during the construction. Space will be taken from the high-limit table games area to increase seating in the Chairman's Club. Bar space will also be doubled.

Thunder Falls Buffet will be redesigned to essentially "bring the buffet to the casino" by creating new pathways through the gambling floor that make it easier for gamblers to find the buffet. Workers will also redesign the actual buffet, with new food choices and a setup that will look more like a European farmers' market and will include live cooking stations where customers can see their food prepared in front of them.
