Developers of “the 21st century casino” shared more information about the £125 million complex that will not only transform the NEC site, but will also help the economy of the region, creating 1,100 new jobs.
Resorts World Birmingham will be one of the largest complexes of its kind in the United Kingdom. The centre will include a large casino, a hotel with 176 guestrooms, a cinema, and several restaurants and cafes. The idea of building this resort appeared several years ago, but, seems, the project will be finally put to action as Galliford Try was named the main contractor.
The complex is scheduled for opening in January 2015. The construction of the project will create 1,750 new jobs. When fully operational, Resorts World Birmingham will create 1,100 new jobs, and will add as much as £25 to the local economy annually.
According to Resorts World, they are now working over a strategy that will help visitors to stay in the complex longer. They believe the project will become one of the most popular and respected entertainment destinations in the Midlands in recent years. It will be a nice addition to the NEC site, and is expected to draw much attention to it.
