The Amendment gave the green light for the conversion of both the Oaklawn and the Southland Park Gaming and Racing in West Memphis into full-scale casinos.
The expansion project has been in the works since November last year when it was announced – this announcement also happened to come in the wake of the passing of the so-called Amendment 100 by the residents of Arkansas.
Formerly known as the Oaklawn Park Race Track, the property is set to go through a number of major upgrades that will include the addition of a high-rise luxury hotel two, an event tower with views of the existing track as well as a 28,000 square feet of additional casino space.
Hot Spring, Arkansas-based Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort’s officials on May 10 announced that the property’s $100 million expansion plan has officially kicked off.
