Greenbrier Casino Resort
Hollywood’s finest were out in force on Sunday to attend the opening of the new $80 million Casino Club at the Greenbrier resort in West Virginia. The exclusive casino offers a good variety of slots and table games including blackjack, baccarat, craps and other favourites.
The celebrities that attended the opening of the resort, such as Jennifer Garner and gambling fan husband Ben Affleck, were keen to stress that as well as the great casino facilities on offer it was the scenic vistas of West Virginia which make the resort so appealing. A little known fact about the hotel and casino complex, however, is that it conceals a vast underground bunker complex, built to house the legislative branch of the U.S. Government in the event of a nuclear war.
Grand openings of this scale should be reassuring for players and casino owners alike as it is indicative of an industry thriving despite the recent recession. This success will feel particularly sweet as the hotel was placed into bankruptcy in 2009.
