The Coeur d'Alene Casino Resort Hotel, which began 16 years ago as a 30,000sq ft bingo hall, is starting a $75 million expansion project to add more hotel rooms and other amenities. The project will start immediately and add 150 permanent jobs when it is completed in 2011.

The Coeur d'Alene Tribe said they are building two new wings to the hotel that will overlook the Circling Raven Golf Course and the rolling hills of the Palouse. A promenade will connect the casino and hotel wings. The hotel will add 105 new four- or five-star rooms to its existing 202. It will also add a 15,000-square-foot luxury spa, a fitness center, several restaurants including a gourmet steakhouse, and an outdoor amphitheater for concerts and other outdoor events.

"We don't see the recession in our business," said David LaSarte-Meeks, the casino's CEO. "We're growing." He said revenues at the Coeur d'Alene Casino Resort Hotel were up 12 percent during the first five months of this year, compared with the same period in 2008, despite the national downturn.
