NEW GAMING FLOOR OPEN AT SENECA ALLEGANY CASINO & HOTEL
212-room hotel to debut in the Spring
SALAMANCA, NEW YORK -- The latest piece of the Seneca Nation of Indians' growing casino industry was recently unveiled, when the permanent grand casino floor at the new Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel opened for business.
The beautifully decorated space offers patrons 68,300 square feet of world-class gaming and entertainment excitement, including 2,235 slot machines and 40 table games.
In addition, patrons are also enjoying new high limit slot machine and table games areas, and The Casino Bar, which will feature live entertainment.
"In finalizing this new casino space, we wanted to make sure that we were enhancing the overall experience that our patrons enjoy when the visit Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel, as well as create a beautiful, vibrant facility that patrons and employees can enjoy alike," said John Pasqualoni, President and CEO, Seneca Gaming Corporation. "I think we were successful on both fronts."
The completion of the grand casino floor signified the transition of the entire gaming operation from the original Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel facility into the new space.
Seneca Allegany Casino opened on May 1, 2004 as a temporary facility. Ground was broken in October 2005 for the permanent casino and resort hotel. Casino personnel began transferring slot machines and table games operations into the new space in early December.
"Our crews did a magnificent job in making the transfer from the original facility onto the new floor as seamless as possible," Gus Tsivikis, General Manager, Seneca Allegany Casino, said.
With the grand casino floor now complete, the focus shifts to the remaining portions of the $160 million Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel project. The second floor of the resort will feature three new restaurants: The Western Door: A Seneca Steakhouse; Patria, a fine Italian dining restaurant, and The Seneca Café, a 24-hour eatery. The popular Thunder Mountain Buffet will also be expanded to accommodate more seating.
Guests will also be able to rejuvenate on the second floor, taking advantage of the full-service spa and salon.
Luxurious hotel rooms will be found on floors 4-11, and will include a variety of standard rooms, suites and Penthouse suites. "There is a great deal of work left to be done," said Pasqualoni. "But, when we're finished, we expect to unveil a true resort facility that will create incredible excitement and energy throughout the Southern Tier region and northwestern Pennsylvania and offer all of our Seneca Gaming Corporation patrons another fascinating destination to experience and enjoy."
