twitterAtlantis Casino Resort expansion complete
Wednesday, July 28, 1999 | 3:01 a.m.
RENO, Nev. - The Atlantis Casino Resort on Wednesday celebrated completion of its third major expansion in just eight years.
The latest, $70 million project added 390 rooms, a chic Italian restaurant, a glass-enclosed pool with a waterfall and a health club, as well as additional casino and convention space.
"We are extremely pleased with the response that we have seen with this expansion," said John Farahi, Atlantis chief executive.
The hotel-casino on South Virginia Street has grown from a 142-room motel eight years ago to a posh resort that now boasts 1,000 rooms.
Atlantis' parent company, Monarch Casino and Resort, said it is already considering either another 500-room expansion or a new hotel-casino on the west side of its Virginia Street skyway.
