The resort is comprised of over 350,000sq.ft of gaming, restaurant, entertainment and retail areas, along with parking space for 3,000 cars.

A gaming floor of over 100,000sq.ft contains 2,500 slot machines and 75 table games, as well as a variety of restaurants, including Michael Jordan's Steakhouse, Line and Lure, Rose and Thorn, Longhouse and a food court.

The next phase of construction will include building additional gaming areas, a hotel and a parking garage.
