Hollywood Casino in Kansas City, Kansas is seeking approval from the Unified Government for a new hotel with 125 rooms, a smaller size than originally promised when the casino first opened over a decade ago. The casino, which previously received STAR bonds, had pledged to bring a 250 room hotel to the region within two years of opening. In exchange for the smaller hotel, Hollywood Casino has offered to increase its annual contribution to local charities by $350,000.
The proposal is expected to be approved by commissioners at the upcoming meeting on Thursday. The decision reflects the casino’s commitment to the community and its willingness to adapt to changing circumstances. This development signifies continued growth and investment in the region, providing both economic and social benefits. Hollywood Casino’s proposed hotel expansion is a step towards fulfilling its promises to the community, while also ensuring a positive impact on the local economy.
