TOPEKA - The proposed Chisholm Creek Casino Resort was approved by the Kansas Lottery Commission this week and forwarded to the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission for final review and approval. That decision is expected within 60 days.

The Sumner County plan calls for Foxwoods Development and Lakes Entertainment to build and manage the new casino resort. Its location will be southwest of the Mulvane Turnpike interchange between the Turnpike and U.S. 81 about a half-mile south of K-53.

Gary Armentrout, Foxwoods president, told lottery commissioners that the project would be funded entirely with cash and could be built and operating in 20 months after final approval. That could be as early as the summer of 2011.

"We have the site, we have the project, we have the funding and we have the management to develop and operate a first-class gaming facility in south-central Kansas," Armentrout said. He also said the first phase would develop a casino with up to 1,500 slot machines and 30 table games; a deli, buffet and steak house; and a police, fire and ambulance facility. They are seeking a third party to build a hotel on the site with at least 150 rooms.
They hope to open the hotel about the same time as the casino.
