Sydney's tourism industry is set to receive a major boost under a half a billion dollar expansion to Star City casino.
The major revamp will turn the casino's entrance towards the harbour and add an extra five star hotel building, a retail galleria and more restaurants and bars.
Tabcorp's chief of Casino's Walter Bugno says the major expansion will better equip the casino to compete on a local and international stage.
“We’ve conducted a world wide benchmarking review, have brought in a mix of the best local architects and international designers, and have undertaken discussions with some of the leading global leisure and entertainment brands.”
