Mohegan Gaming Ready to Break Ground on $1B Greece Integrated Resort Casino
Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment (MGE) says it's ready to break ground once given the green light on its more than $1 billion integrated resort casino planned for Athens, Greece.
MGE, the gaming unit of the Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut, won a bidding war against rival US tribal and commercial casino operator Hard Rock International to acquire a 30-year license to operate a casino on the former grounds of the Hellinikon International Airport. The casino is a component of The Hellinikon Project, a $9 billion redevelopment of the airport grounds that measures approximately 2.4 square miles.
Mohegan Gaming is calling its Hellinikon project INSPIRE Athens. The resort is being designed by Steelman Partners, an international architectural firm that specializes in integrated resort concepts.
