The Coeur d'Alene Tribe of Idaho announced plans for a $75 million expansion of its casino.
The project will add 105 hotel rooms, new restaurants and a luxury spa to the Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort Hotel. Construction will take about two years and create 150 jobs.
“We don’t see the recession in our business,” David LaSarte-Meeks, the casino’s chief executive officer, told The Spokesman Review. “We’re growing.”
According to LaSarte-Meeks, casino revenues grew by 12 percent during the first five months of this year. The existing hotel is booked nearly every night during the summer and every weekend during the winter, he said.
