Boyd Gaming Corporation recently announced a $45 million expansion of Delta Downs Racetrack Casino Hotel in Vinton, La.
Set for completion at the end of 2016, the centerpiece of the project is a new hotel tower, featuring 167 additional guest rooms and suites. Boyd Gaming also plans to redesign all 200 existing rooms at the property. The property will also redesign its food and beverage facilities, as well as expand its special events center to better accommodate meeting and banquet functions.
“Delta Downs is extremely popular with our guests, and demand exceeds what we can accommodate with our current facility,” says Keith Smith, president and CEO of Boyd Gaming. “With 370 rooms and suites, Delta Downs will be better positioned to meet this growing demand, giving us the opportunity to extend our unique brand of hospitality to more visitors than ever before. And by creating a broader entertainment experience, we are confident we’ll attract many new guests to the new Delta Downs.”
Design work is now being completed, with construction slated to commence this September.
