New Lucky Dragon undergoes renovations

Executives with the Sahara Avenue property, which opened in November and had a grand-opening celebration in December, said they would expand the property’s VIP gaming lounge to serve a growing clientele, the Review Journal reported. 

“We are very excited about the growth of our VIP segment and know these changes will be for the long-term benefit of Lucky Dragon and all of our guests,” Dave Jacoby, chief operating officer of Lucky Dragon, said in a statement announcing the expansion.

The company did not disclose the amount of its investment in the renovation.

No timeline was given on a planned completion date.

Jacoby said the property would temporarily close its Dragon’s Alley street market-style food outlet to add a noodle bar and expand the second-floor Pearl Ocean restaurant. The existing Pearl Ocean space will be redesigned to add VIP table games.

The property already has high-limit gaming at its Emerald Room on the ground floor and the second-floor VIP gaming lounge. Both offer access to private banquet dining, cash and cage services and 24-hour butler service.

The casino floor focuses on games popular with Asian players — baccarat and pai-gow.

The casino, anchored by a 1¼-ton glass dragon sculpture, and the 200-room Asian themed hotel opened Nov. 19.
