The developer of the complex is Woodmont Resort Corp. Hyatt Gaming Management Inc., a unit of Chicago-based Hyatt Hotels Corp., is the operator.

A live entertainment area called the Wild Fire Lounge anchors the 55,000-sf complex. Four 70-foot fireplaces circle the lounge.

The project will employ about 700 people. It also features Gilpin County's first Starbucks.

Windsor Woodmont plans to start construction of a 24-story, 350-room Hyatt hotel adjacent to the casino in about a year.
