The project is one of four casino proposals for the area, and is set for the intersection of 110th Street and Parallel Parkway, next to a retail complex that's just north of the Kansas Speedway. The venture is competing at getting a management contract in what will be a state-owned casino with the four other proposals, that include plans for a $797 million Sands Kansas, the $706 million Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and a $687 Golden Heartland casino. The Legends project is proposed to have 2,000 slot machines and 85 table games, a golf course, a 350-room hotel, a convention center, 200,000-sf of retail and 200,000-sf of residential development.
An Olympia spokesman confirmed the sale. "The move was designed to free up Nevada-based Olympia to focus on its growing portfolio of in-state projects," he tells GlobeSt.com. A Mohegan statement did not explain its reason for the purchase. A spokesman did not return a call before press time.
