Although the Indiana Gaming Commission hasn’t granted a license for a Terre Haute casino, the application submitted by Spectacle Jack LLC, a subsidiary of Indianapolis-based Spectacle Entertainment, for its Rocksino casino indicates it would include a 100,000-square-foot casino with 1,150 slot machines and 50 table games.
The application also includes plans for an adjacent Home2Suites hotel and a future on-site hotel, a sportsbook, a high-limit area and a 300-seat showroom, Velvet Sessions, which could be “readily transformed to host any type of event from a poker tournament to business events and meetings, to a cocktail reception or a wedding.”
Four restaurants would include a Hard Rock Cafe, a buffet, steakhouse and coffee shop, plus four bars.
In Gary, Spectacle Entertainment will break ground this year on its new Hard Rock Casino Gary. The IGC granted Spectacle permission to move one of its Majestic Star casino licenses to Gary and the other to Vigo County.
The gaming commission will meet and take public commentary on the casino on February 7 at the Vigo County Public Library to consider Spectacle’s application for the Vigo County license—the only one the commission received. Analysts said the venue would attract 1.2 million visitors annually.
