TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Full House Resorts, one of the four applicants vying to build a casino in Vigo County, announced Wednesday a public presentation will be held to discuss its plans for the “American Place Terre Haute,” the company’s proposed name for the gaming venue.
The presentation is from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Oct. 21 and will be held at Idle Creek Banquet Center, located at 5353 Ryanne Marie Ln in Terre Haute, Ind. The event will feature a review of the casino proposal submitted to the Indiana Gaming Commission, vendor and employment opportunity information and a Q&A session.
Full House Resorts, a Las Vegas-based operator that owns five casinos in four states, also submitted an application to build a casino they have named “American Place”. The company already operates one casino through the IGC in Rising Sun, Ind. called “Rising Star Casino and Resort”.
Full House’s proposal to the IGC said the planned address for its casino is 5995 Margaret Avenue in Terre Haute. The proposed gaming venue would include four main areas: a casino, a hotel, a greenhouse and a rooftop dining and drinking area. The budget for the proposed project is $250 million.
The other three applicants the IGC received proposals from are:
- CDITH, LLC (Churchill Downs)
- HR Terre Haute, LLC (Hard Rock)
- Terre Haute Entertainment, LLC (Premier Gaming Group and Terre Haute Entertainment Holdings LLC)
The IGC has previously said it intends to announce the selected company during a Nov. 17 meeting. For more information on the applicants and application process, click here.
