Hollywood Casino hotel on hold; operator faces big penalty
The operator of Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway is folding plans to start work on a new hotel next to the casino this month, and they’ll have to ante up an estimated $1.25 million a year until they decide go forward with the project.
The operator, Kansas Entertainment LLC, a 50/50 joint venture of Penn Hollywood Kansas Inc. and Kansas Speedway Development Corp., notified the Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City, Kan., of the decision to postpone the 248-room hotel.
