As reported in September, the Selena World Resort, under development in the Maritime Integrated Entertainment Zone (PIEZ) near Vladivostok, Russia, will consist of three separate development stages, each with its own casino, hotel, recreation and entertainment facilities. According to a report by bettingbusiness.ru , Diamond Fortune Holdings Prim this week presented their plans to the Maritime Administration, and he unanimously approved the concept.
According to a statement from the company director in February, preparations for the site began last summer, and official construction of the first phase is expected to take place later this month. There are Sun Casino & Resort, Golden Gate, and Moon Gate according to the name and order of completion. The award-winning Steelman Partners of Las Vegas was named the design company for casinos and hospitality.
The Sun Casino & Resort Complex will be built on site #11, between the Tigred Crystal Resort area and sometimes Lake Turtle or Lake Cherepash. The development of the two buildings will include a 900-key hotel and a casino with 376 game tables and 1,800 machines. A large walkway is planned adjacent to the lake's coast. Sun Casino & Resort will open at the end .
Under the current plan, the Golden Gate complex, which will be built with the Moon Gate, will consist of three main buildings, one providing a 350-meter (about 1,050 feet) long ski slope. Another 576-room hotel and a casino with 200 table games and 2,100 machines will also be part of the Golden Gate development.
The Moon Gate Complex will house a four or five-star hotel with a total of 460 rooms and suites, along with a luxury casino offering 110 tables and 1,100 slot machines. The buildings will be connected to traditional Chinese gardens featuring atrium and carved plants, symbolic fountains, and art exhibits.
Selena World Resort's total game offerings will reach 5,000 game consoles and 686 tables. But games are not the only focus of development. "In developing the concept of a resort, we are focusing not only on games in casinos, but also on a variety of family vacations," said Grzegorz Ash, Director of Diamond Fortune Marketing. "The target customers of the complex are [50/50] Russian and foreign tourists, and we will follow their demands."
All three complexes will offer additional amenities, including restaurants, bars and entertainment venues, cinemas, health spas and retail stores.
With an estimated final price tag of $914 million and a completed development of more than 300,000 square meters (3,300,173 square feet) under development by 25 of Diamond Fortune's nine lots, Selena World Resort will be PIEZ's largest offering.
