Potawatomi Bingo Casino broke ground today on its $240 million expansion in Milwaukee's Menomonee Valley.
When completed in 2008, Potawatomi Bingo Casino will have an additional 500,000 square feet of entertainment space, a six-story parking garage and a vehicular bridge connected to the parking structures from the James Groppi Unity Bridge.
The casino's management said the project will help create more than 500 construction jobs and will lead to 1,000 additional jobs at the casino .
Included in the new space will be two new restaurants, a bar/lounge and a food court at the expanded casino. The Dream Dance restaurant and The Buffet will increase in size and move to the first floor of the casino. The Fire Pit Sports Bar & Grill also will expand.
On the gaming floor, the number of slot machines will double with the addition of 1,500 machines. Approximately 100 additional table games will double, and in some cases triple, the number currently on the floor.
The $240 million figure is on top of the $140 million that has been invested by the Tribe in the Menomonee Valley since the casino, 1721 W. Canal Street, opened in 1991.
