WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas casino has unveiled plans to build a meeting center and equestrian center that will enable it to host large horse shows.
The Wichita Eagle reports the Kansas Star Casino announced the $20 million expansion project Wednesday. The meeting center will be 11,000 square feet and the equestrian center will have 183 permanent stalls.
Both facilities are set to open in December.
The casino moved into its permanent location in December 2012. It also has a 300-room hotel on its property and a 42,000-square-foot arena. That arena can already host rodeos. But arena director Tim Lanier says the new outdoor center will allow the casino to put on a wide variety of horse shows.
