Get ready casino fans because after years of planning, preparation and construction, the Two Kings Casino Resort is opening its much-anticipated introductory phase on Wednesday, May 20.

Here’s what to know about the big event:

The Catawba Two Kings Casino, which now dominates the skyline off of Exit 5 of I-85, is located at 538 Kings Mountain Boulevard at the edge of town.

The casino is celebrating the opening of the first phase of the $1 billion resort, which consists of what is called the “introductory casino.”

Last June, a ceremony was held for the groundbreaking for the permanent structure along with a separate nearly 400-room hotel.
