Casino Niagara
On July 1996, the Navegante Group was selected over 27 other casino operators (many of whom were publicly traded) to become the sole Agent for the Ontario Casino Corporation to design, construct and manage Casino Niagara in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.
Navegante arrived, one week prior to the official start of the contract to begin planning and developing the operation of the casino, as well as oversee the construction already in progress. On December 9, 1996, ahead of schedule and within budget, the world-class Casino Niagara opened to the public to rave reviews with 3,200 employees and all systems, internal controls, procedures and necessary supplies in place and fully operational.
Using borrowed funds from the Ontario Government, Navegante spent $180 million to develop Casino Niagara. Construction crews worked 24/7 for six months to complete the project. The $180 million was paid back in just 180 days.
Casino Niagara is Ontario's largest, and most recently opened commercial casino, consisting of a total of 100,000 square feet of gaming space, including over 2,600 slot machines and 140 table games. It also has a premium players' club for high-limit play, and a frequent player's club which offers members special rates at more than 100 businesses throughout the Niagara region. In addition to its gaming space, the casino complex offers a fine-dining restaurant, a Hard Rock Cafe, a market-style restaurant, an informal cafe, a food court and several gift shops.
