Toronto Woodbine Racetrack Ancillary Facilities Building | 14.5m | 2s | Woodbine Ent | DIALOG

Just add Therme!
Not a bad Conservative off-ramp for the brewing PR disaster at Ontario Place- there certainly is plenty of space to fit these sorts of buildings, and synergistic potential with the other adjacent potential entertainment venues (though they would need to be bumped up in terms of their timelines).

Looking at other Therme sites, many are located in rather nondescript locations, so it's not a nonstarter either.
 
Hi: Wasn’t getting the updates I like to see so I ventured up there this morning. The casino is immense! Saw only one hotel tower which opens on 1 August and a bunch of restaurants are open but only one is open before 4pm. Most interested in the venue. The streetscape along Rexdale is almost finished and will be nice.

I know this ain't Vegas but come on, that thing looks like a cold war bunker. Casinos should have some tacky glitz, colour; anything. I don't really care for casinos in the first place, but if you're going to build one it should at least stimulate the senses. Seems even a casino in this city can't escape the grey curse.
 
I like how it takes 5 years to build an infill GO Station in Toronto but they can open the first stage of an entirely brand new metro system in Montreal in the same time frame.
 
I noticed the retail along the perimeter of the casino is nearing completion, any insights as to what will be in there? I can't seem to find any permit or application information.

Haven't been following this thread, so, a little late with a reply. Being an occasional gambler and having visited Las Vegas during the 80s and 90s, it would've been fantastic if they had incorporated those neon signs of that era. It would've been amazing to see something like the Stardust, Flamingo, The Dunes and many other of those old casino's signs festooning the exterior here. If they had done that, it might've in itself been a tourist draw for those old time nostalgic gamblers of yesteryear!
