Future plans call for the original casino space to be permanently remodeled into entertainment, office and support space, but that work will not begin until later this year.

begin until later this year. While Seneca Gaming Corporation may plan outdoor concerts at Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel in 2007, no decision has been made on whether additional indoor performances will be scheduled before the renovations to the original casino facility are complete.

"We've been able to bring some fantastic outdoor performances to the region over the past two years, and we look forward to continuing that this year," Hansberry said. "The use of the original casino building for entertainment purposes will be determined when design and construction schedules are completed."

Tritt has been a star on the country scene for more than 15 years. His honky-tonk sound and outlaw style have brought out such hits as "Country Club," "Here's A Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)," "Anymore," and dozens more.

The new Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel will feature 212 luxury rooms, three new restaurants, a full-service spa and salon and other amenities.
