Casino Skuttlebutt

Anyone hear about the Park Pontiac sale to Manitoba Lotteries on Regent Ave.?

Add this one to that, Lotteries wants Gauthier to move the Dodge/Jeep lot from the intersection of Owen over to the Park Pontiac location so that they can put the Bingo in a separate building.

Birchwood Honda still won't sell out to Lotteries, who have been after their location since Day 1. Chipman's got some clout now!

The sale was in the paper a few weeks ago if I recall correctly.

It looks like they have construction offices in the old Robbins and the old Husky gas station is gone (don't know if lotteries bought the land).

If they get rid of the Robbins building all that is left blocking the street view is the MTS building. This building apparently is a major fiber hub to the casino and also links the remote controlled Transcona telephone exchange to downtown so I don't think that it will be going anywhere soon.

Years ago I recall hearing that the land the original Club Regent was sitting on was sold to lotteries by one of the first Winnipeg Jets owners. Barry Shenkarow comes to mind but I could be wrong.

As it was just remodeled in the last year or so, I don't think that Randy Cunnington is going to sell this franchise location of his at a discount.

There might of have been a chance to buy the land before all the work was done.

Sun is reporting a 50,000 SF expansion to Club Regent which will include:

Quote:
a boutique hotel, two restaurants, and a courtyard and atrium that would feature a Liquor Mart Express store and pop-up vendors selling Manitoba-made products.
Estimated cost of $60M.

I wonder whatever happened to the CanadInns hotel project at McPhillips Street Station? Other than a big new parkade in anticipation of the parking lost to the hotel, there haven't really been any big changes there in years and years. The focus seems to be on Club Regent, as it just got a new concert venue not all that long ago...

No kidding. The one on McPhillips they kept pushing back the dates on the sign and lately I haven't even seen signage, perhaps it is no longer happening. Maybe the new hotel by HSC has something to do with it?
