the goodyear blimp really adds some excitement though.
You were expecting good architecture?  It's a casino.  Most of the ones in California are a blight on the landscape.

The final plan for the Hollywood casino came before the planning commission in September.

I will have to say. I am underwhelmed.

The renderings of the Hollywood Casino look no where near as cool as the renderings for the proposed Hard Rock Casino looked.

I doesn't feel like the current development group's heart is really in this and we a getting shortchanged as a result.

From the renderings presented to the planning commission I think this will look like a turd compared to Argosy. Perhaps that is what Penn National Gaming really wants???????

There is a job fair at Overland Park Convention Center tomorrow (Saturday) to hire 1,000 employees for the casino, which opens in February.

Agreed. It looks like a cheap multiplex theater. But we are talking about a casino after all, not a high-end retailer.

It just makes KCK look like most of Oklahoma. I think it is a very standard reservation casino design.

KCMax, unfortunately you are correct. Let's see how the finished product turns out but I think at this point it's too late.

Looks more like a suburban movie theatre than a casino, although the dead vegetation everywhere isn't helping. I'm still bummed the Hard Rock deal didn't happen - at least that would have given the casino a little bit of a WOW factor. But if this casino is owned by the same group that owns the Argosy, I think it'll be top notch inside.

Love the radio ads for this place. They feature disco music, which first as the design looks like its straight out of the 70s.

I can't wait for KC's only Las Vegas style Casino to open! No more needing a Casino card to gain entry to the casino like at the MO pond barge Casinos.

LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!

You obviously have your finger on the pulse of the casino industry. Haven't needed a card for 3+ years now.
