Northwestern Iowa Receives a New Casino License
A casino license for Lyon County, Iowa has been approved. The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission agreed to give this license to the area. The Commission determined that this casino license will help to get plenty of revenue from visitors outside of Iowa. The Commission also determined that other Iowa casinos would not be harmed by this new one.
The casino will be specifically placed in the town of Larchwood. This Lyon County town is less than ten miles away from Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
The casino in question will be a major part of the Lyon County Casino and Golf Resort in Larchwood. This casino is projected to have a little over nine hundred slot machines along with other games. A large center for events and a small hotel will also be featured here.
The casino is expected to open in the middle part of 2011. Construction will begin on the site in June. Also, a golf course that will open on the site in 2013 will be built during the same time. More than four hundred jobs will be added to the economy.
This license was added after three other applications for casino licenses in Iowa were rejected by the Commission. The Commission will not rule on any new licenses for at least three years.
