Architects on Monday presented revamped plans for a Norfolk casino, including a scaled-back 200-room hotel, designed to be built in a single construction phase.

The most recent plans for HeadWaters Resort and Casino, presented to the Norfolk Architectural Review Board, include a casino, an at-least 935-space parking garage and a five-story, 200-room hotel tower on the 6.5-acre site. Other features presented include an outdoor pool and bar, a food hall with four or five restaurants, a sports bar, a steakhouse, a fitness center and a spa, among others.

The presentation, by Daron Andrus with the HKS architectural firm, comes after months of silence on the casino front.
