Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino is celebrating both its 25th anniversary and the grand opening of its 2,000-seat Events Center on Thursday.
The new Events Center has hosted two concerts already and will accommodate comedian Dave Chappelle for two shows this weekend. The room is part of a $100 million expansion, most of which is now complete. The casino opened in 1994 at a much smaller scale.
The new construction work has included a spa, new restaurants, a new 229-room hotel tower, an expanded gaming floor, a fitness center, a parking garage and a connecting bridge to UltraStar Multi-tainment Center. Still being completed is a remodel of the swimming pool.
