Island Resort & Casino, located in Harris, Michigan, has announced plans for a major expansion that will transform the popular gaming destination into a premier destination for meetings, conventions, and golf enthusiasts.
The $30 million expansion project will include the construction of a state-of-the-art convention center that will more than double the resort’s current meeting space. The new facility will feature spacious meeting rooms, a large ballroom, and cutting-edge audiovisual technology to accommodate events of all sizes. This expansion is in response to the growing demand for more versatile meeting spaces in the area, as well as the resort’s desire to attract larger conferences and conventions.
In addition to the convention center, Island Resort & Casino will also be adding a championship golf course to its already impressive list of amenities. Designed by renowned golf architect, Tom Doak, the new course will offer golfers a challenging and scenic experience, with stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The addition of a golf course is expected to attract golf enthusiasts from near and far, further solidifying Island Resort & Casino’s reputation as a top-tier destination for leisure and recreation.
“We are thrilled to announce this exciting expansion project,” said Tony Mancilla, general manager of Island Resort & Casino. “The new convention center and golf course will further enhance our offerings and provide our guests with even more reasons to visit and enjoy all that our resort has to offer.”
Construction on the expansion project is set to begin in the coming months, with the convention center expected to be completed by the end of next year and the golf course scheduled to open in the following season. The resort will remain open throughout the construction process, with minimal disruption to guests.
Island Resort & Casino has long been a popular destination for gaming and entertainment in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. With the addition of a world-class convention center and championship golf course, the resort is poised to attract even more visitors and solidify its position as a premier leisure destination in the region.
