DODGE CITY - Construction began this week on the Boot Hill Casino following a ground-breaking ceremony attended by Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, legislative leaders and officials of Butler National, which is managing the project. The event endured gusty winds and below-freezing temperatures, but despite the weather, Butler's CEO said "This is a big day for Kansas."

The site for the western-themed, hotel-and-gambling complex is on U.S. 50, just west of a town.

Butler National expects to open the casino and dining facilities in early December 2009. The $88 million complex with hotel will be completed in three years.

Three other Kansas-owned casino projects have been delayed by financial problems. Developers in southeast Kansas and the Wichita and Kansas City areas withdrew their bids after being awarded contracts by the Kansas Lottery. Dodge City is the only one of the four proposed casinos to begin construction.
