As 14 News first reported May 4, Casino Aztar officials say they are undertaking plans to fully renovate the Casino Aztar Hotel with plans to make approximately $5 million in improvements. This will be the first renovation for the hotel since it was built 15 years ago.
"There won't be a spot untouched in this renovation," said Aztar General Manager Ward Shaw. "It will be a different experience than our more contemporary Le Merigot hotel, however. The Aztar will remain more of a grand traditional-style that so many of our customers have enjoyed over the years, but it will get the fresh look that will dramatically improve the comfort and overall enjoyment of our guests we attract from around the region and the country.”
All 251 guest rooms will get new wall coverings, carpet, furniture, bedding, and televisions, along with renovated bathrooms. The exterior of the hotel will also be repainted.
