All casinos have a lifecycle. This session examines how to bolster the economic viability of a casino by planning for it. Developers, financiers, architects and operators explain current and future trends in casinos and amenities design that will drive patrons to your property during all the phases of its lifecycle. Learn about a casino’s physical plant beyond the gaming floor, the motivations of gaming patrons, and which outside experts should be a part of your project and why. Additionally, this session provides a chronological, step-by-step outline for planning, financing, designing and constructing a casino property.
