Ellis Island Casino Hotel no longer wants to be known as a dive. The first official renderings of how the family-owned property will look after emerging from its current $35 million cocoon of renovation were released Monday. And, frankly, the vibe is more Wynn Resorts than it is cheap BBQ, dive bars, and $5 blackjack and craps.
“It’s no longer the little dump with cheap and good food,” commented Twitter/X user @lizzie3420552 below the first glimpse of the renderings provided by X account Las Vegas Locally this weekend.
“Long as steak and eggs stay at $9, they can do anything they want lol,” added @picazo_198.
The expansion, occurring in the casino’s former brewery space, will take the gaming floor out to Koval Lane, adding over 250 slot machines, an additional pit area, a new casino center bar, and a new rooftop bar/event space. The existing building will have its casino floor, Village Pub & Café, and ever-popular karaoke lounge all revamped.
“We are very excited to have this project under way,” VP of Development Christina Ellis, Gary Ellis’ daughter, said in a press release. “The city is growing, and we are eager to expand our offerings while staying true to what has kept us a staple on Koval Lane for 56 years, with great value dining, gaming, and amenities.”
No timeline for the renovation was provided.
