Gaming options include 1,700 slots and 60 table games. Our solution oriented approach had benefits throughout the course of the project, including the added advantage of completing the hotel two months ahead of schedule.The deal: Harrah’s is a full-service casino resort with a hotel, luxury pool complex, a wellness spa and multiple dining venues. Though not contracted as a design-build project, functioning with a design-assist approach proved to be most beneficial for all involved in the project, allowing the design team to make adjustments early on in the design process. Citrix GoToMeeting® was used extensively to conduct virtual BIM coordination meetings online with the rest of the project team. We also used BIM in the construction phase, coordinating the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection trades. Due to the challenging nature of the location and our customer centric philosophy, we utilized BIM to assist in the design of the shoring and foundation systems, development of subcontract work scope packages, and locating, identifying and coordinating existing and new site utilities. The entire development had to be constructed to grades established above the slope of the steep hillside and required complex shoring systems that varied across the site. The scope of work included extensive site development and revisions to the existing casino structure, as well as expanding the existing structure for the construction of a new non-smoking casino. It stands at seven stories above-grade and two stories below-grade with 96 deluxe rooms and 12 luxury suites, a full service kitchen, and laundry service. The hotel structure consists of reinforced concrete and post-tensioned decks, EIFS skin with glazing and adhered stone. Swinerton provided preconstruction and construction services for a new luxury hotel, pool, and meeting facility.
