A ribbon-cutting ceremony recently was held at the $4 million expanded and renovated High Limit area at the Gold Strike Casino Resort in Tunica, Mississippi.
Located near the resort’s hotel lobby, the expanded High Limit gaming area offers 111 high limit slot machines and nine table games, including two baccarat tables.
Gold Strike General Manager Max Fisher said, “Today’s grand opening of the new High Limit gaming area is the latest milestone in Gold Strike’s ongoing investment in the Mid-South market. We have an unwavering commitment to improving the guest experience and this luxurious new space combines modern technology with casual elegance and comfort.”
The 6,600-square-foot High Limit Room is divided into five distinct slot machine and gaming pit zones, each with a specific design feature such as decorative metal grillwork, a crystal chandelier, architectural columns and glass-capped millwork. The stylish bar has multiple UHD displays, lighted bottle risers and USB charging ports. The area also features exclusive cage and credit services, dedicated cocktail service and a VIP lounge.
The area was designed by hospitality design firm DEZMOTIF Studios in partnership with RDH and MGM Resorts International Design Group.
Principal Kelly Akosua Kena said, “All the interior lighting utilizes energy efficient LED lighting and the low-profile lighting fixtures create glowing lines in the ceilings, highlighting the geometry of the design and delineating the different gaming pits below. The character of the space is timeless and defined by its use of clean lines and the rich materials used combine for an impressive visual impact.”
