SkyCity Auckland, New Zealand’s largest casino, is set to temporarily close its doors in September for a major refurbishment and renovation project. The closure, which is expected to last for several weeks, will include a total overhaul of the casino’s gaming floor, as well as upgrades to its restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues.
The decision to close the casino comes as part of SkyCity’s ongoing efforts to modernize and improve its facilities in order to meet the changing needs and expectations of its customers. The company has been investing heavily in its properties across New Zealand and Australia in recent years, with a particular focus on upgrading its gaming equipment and facilities to provide a more enjoyable and immersive experience for guests.
According to SkyCity Auckland’s General Manager, Michael Ahearne, the decision to temporarily close the casino was not taken lightly, but is necessary in order to bring the venue up to the high standards that customers have come to expect from the brand. “We are constantly striving to provide the best possible experience for our guests, and this refurbishment project is a key part of that commitment,” Ahearne said in a statement.
During the closure, SkyCity Auckland will be offering a range of alternative entertainment options for guests, including special events and promotions at its other venues in Auckland and around New Zealand. The company is also working closely with its staff to ensure that they are fully supported during the closure period, with plans in place to offer training and development opportunities for employees.
The closure of SkyCity Auckland’s casino is expected to have a significant impact on the local economy, with the venue being a major employer in the area and a popular destination for both tourists and local residents. However, the company has assured that the temporary closure is necessary in order to ensure that the casino remains a top-tier entertainment destination for years to come.
Once the refurbishment project is complete, SkyCity Auckland’s casino is expected to reopen with a fresh new look and a range of exciting new features and amenities for guests to enjoy. In the meantime, the company is urging customers to visit its other properties in Auckland and around New Zealand to experience the same high-quality entertainment and hospitality that they have come to expect from the SkyCity brand.
