This is very preliminary, but Firekeepers Casino (near Battle Creek) could be getting a second hotel tower. The current hotel is 8 stories and has about 240 rooms. Apparently those rooms had an occupancy rate of greater than 95% last year.

I like the design for the first tower. It would be neat if the second one garnered even more presence along I-94.
