A new crescent-shaped hotel will join a doubled-in-size conference center and additional dining and entertainment venues as part of the largest expansion of the Turning Stone Resort Casino since it opened 30 years ago.

The Oneida Indian Nation, owner of Turning Stone, released new details of the expansion [Friday], including architectural renderings and an estimated project cost — $370 million. Construction should take about two years to complete.

The Oneidas are using the terms “The Next 30″ and “Evolution” to describe the project. The goal is to make Turning Stone one of the largest resort convention centers in the state, said Ray Halbritter, the Oneida Indian Nation Representative and CEO of the nation’s business enterprises.
