PRESS RELEASE
August 31, 2011
Viejas tribal leaders and casino executives today unveiled plans to build a new
150-room hotel adjacent to the existing casino in Alpine. They made the
announcement and unveiled conceptual design renderings at a news conference this
morning, where they were joined by representatives of local Chambers of
Commerce, the San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau and others, who praised
the project for its job creation and impact on the local tourism industry.
The new hotel will include a pool, fitness room, business center and other
amenities. It will be located on the east side of the casino building, where the
Bingo Pavilion is now located. Bingo will be moved to another area of the
casino. The project also includes an expansion to the seating area of the
Harvest Buffet. Groundbreaking is scheduled for the 1st quarter of 2012, with a
grand opening scheduled for the 1st quarter of 2013.
The Viejas Casino hotel project is expected to create more than 400 construction
jobs and additional local jobs for ongoing operations once the hotel is built.
Swinerton has been selected as General Contractor for the project. The company's
local projects have included construction of the Marriott Del Mar and Omni Hotel
in downtown San Diego, as well as historical renovations at Hotel Del Coronado
and the U.S. Grant in San Diego.
"A project like this takes on added significance in a challenging economic
environment, where every new job means so much to local families and the local
economy," said Scott Alevy, CEO of San Diego East County Chamber of Commerce.
"Beyond the local construction jobs, this new hotel will have a positive impact
on local businesses that provide goods and services to Viejas Casino, the retail
center and now the hotel. This is great news for our entire region."
