Construction and Expansion Update

“Water is cascading down the glass walls that frame the center countain in The Garden at the resort. Behind those walls, work is progressing on two new retail shops. The one on the right as you face The Garden will feature jewelry and is slated to open around mid-April. The one on the left will be a gift shop. Walls in both shops have been painted and carpet has been laid in the jewelry shop. The former front desk area of the Hotel at Turning Stone has been enclosed with a temporary wall down to the junction of the Smokin' an Showroom corridors. Front desk operations for the Hotel and The Tower were merged two weeks ago, and the former Hotel front desk area is being converted into a new location for the Diamond Mine and Diamond Card registration desk on the gaming floor will be removed, making room for more Instant Multi-Game machines. Crews are busy on the top two floors of The Tower, finishing the seven VIP suited and Club two.one, the new paid-membership restaurant. Some of the suites feature balconies overlooking the resort and surrounding countryside, and all have marble-encased bathrooms with designer fixtures, seperate showers and tubs, and backlit vanity mirrors. Some also will be outfitted with hot tubs. In Club two.one, most of what remains to be done is finishing work. Three enormous blue glass chandeliers have been hung over the bar in the lounge, and the private booths in the lounge have been outfited with glass-beaded wall coverings that glitter in the light. Elsewhere, the restaurant features a private dining room for 10 with a private balcony, as well as a private lounge with a fireplace. Both the VIP suites and Club two.one are expected to open around May 1. Work also is continuing on the new warehouse on Route 31 south of Route 365, behind the SavOn Diesel station. The 21,600-square-foot warehouse will be equipped for dry and cold storage, allowing the Purchasing Department to take advantage of bulk discounts for a variety of supplies from vendors.”
