HARD ROCK PRESENTATION

ONE OF THE GROUPS HOPING TO BUILD A NEW LAND BASED CASINO IN WOODBURY COUNTY PITCHED THEIR PROPOSAL TO A GROUP OF BUSINESS LEADERS MONDAY AFTERNOON.

SIOUX CITY ENTERTAINMENT HOPES TO BRING A HARD ROCK CASINO AND HOTEL TO SIOUX CITY LOCATED AT 3RD AND WATER STREETS NEAR THE OLD BATTERY BUILDING. JERRY HILL, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE GROUP, SAYS INCORPORATING THE HISTORIC BUILDING INTO THE CASINO PROJECT PROVIDES A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY:

SIOUX CITY ENTERTAINMENT IS PARTNERING WITH THE NON-PROFIT MISSOURI RIVER HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE 130-MILLION DOLLAR  PROPOSAL.

HILL SAYS THE NEXT STEP IN THE CASINO APPLICATION PROCESS IS A MEETING WITH THE STATE RACING AND GAMING COMMISSION IN JANUARY:



THE I-R-G-C WILL AWARD THE LICENSE TO ONE OF THE FOUR COMPETING CASINO PROJECTS IN APRIL. HILL AND OTHER GROUP MEMBERS MADE THEIR PRESENTATION TO THE DOWNTOWN ROTARY CLUB AT THE SIOUX CITY CONVENTION CENTER.
