The owner of the M Resort has announced a Dec. 1 opening date for its new tower that will nearly double room capacity to 765 with an added surprise — a new restaurant by a celebrity chef.
Penn Entertainment Inc. on Wednesday said Emeril Lagasse will open a New Orleans favorite, Meril, at the valley’s southernmost resort when the $206 million project opens months ahead of schedule.
The early opening will enable the Henderson casino-hotel to host guests for three major events, the National Finals Rodeo, New Year’s Eve and CES. Under Penn’s original schedule, the new tower was to open months later.
The M tower expansion is the second of four major projects undertaken nationwide by Wyomissing, Pennsylvania-based Penn.
