In addition to providing guest accommodations, the expansion will also add a 20,000-square-foot multipurpose space, a luxurious pool, a spa and a fitness center to the nearly 3-year old casino. 15 opening and thousands of nights are already booked, hotel officials said. The $175 million project remains on track for a Nov. Graton Resort and Casino officials on Wednesday offered a sneak peek inside their 200-room hotel expansion, which will effectively transform the gambling palace on the edge of Rohnert Park into a full-fledged, Las Vegas-style resort complex when it debuts in about seven weeks.
