Monday, Jan. 10, 2005 | 9:06 a.m.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa -- The city council is scheduled to consider a proposed $85 million expansion of Bluffs Run Casino tonight.

The plan already has received approval from state regulators and city planners. The Iowa West Racing Association wants to make major changes to the development plan, including enlarging the building, adding a parking garage and changing a sign to reflect the casino's new name -- Horseshoe Casino.

The council will consider an amendment to the development plan to allow the project to begin.

Bluffs Run officials want to locate all gaming devices on the main floor, increase the food offerings and improve guest amenities and services.

They plan to add 133,364 square feet to the existing 93,021-square-foot first floor for a total of 226,385 square feet used for gaming, dining and guest services.
