"Shangri La Yerevan" started operations in Armenia
It was announced at the press-conference devoted to the opening.
The new casino officially opened on April 16th, with the Grand Opening scheduled for May 2nd.
The complex area now is 2400 sq. m with a planned expansion of a further 800 sq.m by the end of the year. The gaming configuration for the main floor is for an initial 12 tables (with the possibility to introduce more tables if required) plus a poker room for the increasingly popular game of Texas Hold `em and a multi-level slot area with 85 state-of-the-art machines. There are 3 bars, a restaurant and a fully equipped stage for show programmes and music concerts. It has a parking capacity for 100 cars.
The property is designed in Art Deco style, using only the finest materials, including imported wood, the finest Armenian mosaic art, fine carpets, intricate and original wrought iron and beautiful stained glass as well as state of the art ventilation and air-conditioning.
The casino will operate in compliance with Storm`s Responsible Gaming Programme, introduced by Storm International several years ago.
A professional Storm International Croupier School has been opened in Yerevan, thus adding experienced personnel to the local market.
The Grand Opening promises to be one of the most memorable events of the year: world-famous Toto Cutugno will be the headline act, along with other performers including "Blestyaschie" for the benefit of the invited guests.
This will not be the only bright night in Shangri La, as there will be frequent high-level show programmes as well as live music that will entertain our guests. A new star has been born in Armenia - and that star is Shangri La.
