An off-Strip, family-owned hotel-casino is knocking down walls to expand its gaming footprint.

Ellis Island hotel-casino is working on an expansion plan that will add 6,415 square feet to the property, according to planning documents submitted to Clark County. The expansion and remodel will feature a larger casino floor, an audio/visual equipment area, a sportsbook back-of-house area and a south service entrance vestibule.

“This renovation gives us the opportunity to create an elevated gaming and entertainment experience while honoring our history and legacy,” Christina Ellis, vice president of development, said in a statement.

The hotel-casino knocked down the existing 2,800-square-foot microbrewery to make way for the expansion, planning documents show.
