GEK Terna and Mohegan closer to the Elliniko Casino license after Hardrock’s elimination
Reportedly, in its recommendation to the Gaming Control and Supervision Committee, the Tender Committee has rejected Hardrock’s proposal due to serious problems and shortcomings in its bid.
The Minister of Development and Investments, Adonis Georgiadis has been informed of this development, and is expected to be called to announce the contractor.
What remains to be determined is whether Hardrock will appeal with the prospect of overturning the result. An appeal must be filed within 10 days and a response to the appeal will be issued within 20 days.
Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment’s proposal in collaboration with GEK TERNA for Elliniko Casino includes a luxury hotel, entertainment venues, conference center, shops, restaurants, casinos, and high quality services. The project is expected to help launch a new era of tourism development and economic prosperity for Greece and the entire region.
The building’s flagship design is a creation of Steelman Partners, an international architectural firm specializing in the design and construction of IRC complexes.
The inspiration for the architectural design comes from Greece’s architectural past, and in particular from Athenian statues and buildings, including the Acropolis and the Caryatids.
Much of the complex was designed to take advantage of Greece’s preference for outdoor activities, so that almost all restaurants, bars and nightclubs will offer both indoor and outdoor experiences. Dining areas and shops will include internationally recognized brands as well as popular Greek products that emphasize traditional Greek customs.
According to the Minister of Development and Investment, A. Georgiadis, the commencement of works in Elliniko has been postponed and is expected to start in 2020.
