Monarch Casino Black Hawk construction marks a major milestone: the 10th floor!
New hotel and spa is nearly halfway to its final height of 23 stories
May 31, 2018
Construction on the new Monarch Casino Resort in Black Hawk has been moving steadily, and now crews have already reached the 10th floor. The construction crews are adding a new story about every two weeks- a brisk clip.
As crews add stories to the top of the new hotel and spa, work on plumbing, HVAC and electricity continue on the lower floors. Panels will soon be installed on the fourth and fifth levels to enclose the floors.
The casino, a bar, and a new restaurant will be on the second floor. The buffet, an additional bar, and restaurants will be on the third floor.
More than 120,000 feet of electrical piping has been installed in the building. That’s more miles of conduit than the drive from Golden to Black Hawk!
“The views are astonishing! So when you get a room here, it’s going to be amazing,” said Matthew Dunnery, the director of construction administration.
This expansion will nearly double the existing casino space to 70,000 sq. ft. and will feature over 500 guest rooms and suites. This project brings a world-class luxury experience to Black Hawk, complete with a full-service spa and roof-top swimming pool, new restaurants, bars, banquet facilities, convention and meeting rooms as part of Monarch Casino’s $400 million, four-diamond resort development plan.
The targeted completion date for construction is the second quarter of 2019.
