Golden Gaming proposes Kansas project

EDWARDSVILLE, Kansas -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Las Vegas-based gaming and entertainment company Golden Gaming, Inc., proposes an initial $600 million investment in a destination casino resort in Wyandotte County. Today the company filed planning and zoning applications for the project with the cities of Edwardsville and Bonner Springs.

Golden Gaming's proposed project will be located on 200 acres immediately south and adjacent to Interstate 70 at 110th St. The project spans Edwardsville and Bonner Springs within Wyandotte County and will bring significant benefits to all three jurisdictions.

"After looking at other potential markets nationally for our flagship property, we believe Kansas presents the best opportunity because we have an unmatched site and the best development plan," said Blake L. Sartini, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Golden Gaming. "We are not here as the largest gaming company competing for a Wyandotte County location, but as a mid-size gaming company best suited to giving this project the time, attention and focus it deserves. We look forward to partnering with the state of Kansas and Wyandotte County."

Plans call for a world-class development that will include a hotel, spa, restaurants, retail shops, convention and meeting space, an 18-hole championship golf course, entertainment venues and more. Golden Gaming has retained top hotel-casino planning and design architecture firm Friedmutter Group Inc. of Las Vegas for the project.

"Our vision for Wyandotte County incorporates the culture, landscape and materials unique to the area with the latest in cutting-edge casino resort design," said Friedmutter's Director of Design, Albie Colotto.

Golden Gaming's executive management team has years of experience in jurisdictions throughout the U.S., including the Kansas City market.
