The 620 stall Precast Hybrid garage built in 2004 was not enough to support the growing demand at this casino. An additional 605 stall “All-Precast” expansion took place in 2014. The expansion ascended 5 levels and connected to each of the lower 4 levels of the original garage; making navigating the two combined garages a seamless effort. Elevators and a breezeway corridor were part of the design to improve pedestrian flow.
