A groundbreaking ceremony recently was held for the new 23-story, 500-room hotel tower and casino expansion at Monarch Casino Black Hawk in Colorado. The cornerstone project of the ongoing transformation of Monarch Casino Black Hawk into a full scale casino resort spa destination. Monarch Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Farahi said, “We have been positioning ourselves to reach this exciting milestone and undertake construction of the new hotel tower since we acquired the property in 2012. When all of the new facilities and amenities are opened to the public, which we anticipate will occur in the second quarter of 2019, visitors to Monarch Casino Black Hawk will experience the region’s most elegant destination casino resort spa.”
The project will nearly double the size of the existing 30,000 square foot casino floor, and also add an upscale spa and pool, four restaurants and several new bars. The new facilities will open in phases as construction is completed.
Monarch recently completed a full interior renovation and built a 1,350-space parking facility.
Farahi added, “Our recently upgraded existing facility and new parking structure will integrate seamlessly with the future hotel tower and casino expansion. We believe our favorable location at the entrance to town on Black Hawk’s main artery is advantageous and that we will continue to benefit from the Denver metropolitan region’s strong economic growth. We expect the fully completed Monarch Casino Black Hawk to set a new standard in the city for gracious guest service and upscale amenities and are excited by the promise that the future holds.”
