Scope Of Work
Penn National Gaming, through its subsidiaries, owns, operates or has ownership interests in gaming and racing facilities with a focus on slot machine entertainment. The Hollywood Casio is the area’s only Vegas-style casino featuring over 2,200 blockbuster slots, over 70 big-time table games, and 36 tables of live poker. When PNG needed to make some changes to the Hollywood Casino Columbus, they turned to Lehman Daman.
Designed to be a gem close to the action, details of the Zen Noodle restaurant had already put the project behind schedule well before construction could begin. The project’s proximity to the gaming floor meant that shut-downs in adjacent areas would need to be coordinated very closely with the Casino’s local management.
Lehman Daman executed every exacting design detail, smoothly communicated scheduling throughout the project, and even accelerated the construction schedule so significantly that the new restaurant was able to open under budget a full week earlier than the original date.
In order to extend the Hollywood hospitality for its guests who wish to smoke, PNG needed a dramatically different experience from the original outdoor smoking porches in the Hollywood Casino Columbus.
Much more than a simple expansion, Lehman Daman completely demolished the existing outdoor spaces and replaced them with a comfortable year round experience. The all-new structure features a roof, a block wall perimeter, heaters, and 75 slot machines so guests never miss a minute of the fun.
