A $40-million hotel and casino will open in six weeks after the city council approved changes that allow it to add 400 gaming seats. The Deerfoot Inn and Casino is being built at Barlow Trail and 114th Avenue S.E. and recently received approval from Alberta Gaming to increase the number of gaming seats to 1,200. In addition to a 100,000-square-foot casino, the complex also houses a seven-storey, 190-room hotel, a convention centre, a 225-seat theatre, restaurants, and drinking facilities.
