Dozens of construction members, elected officials, dignitaries, Pechanga Tribal members and Pechanga Team Members gathered to watch the topping out of the Tribe\u2019s massive addition that will make their resort\/casino the largest on the West Coast.<\/p>\n<p>This topping out included crews 14 stories up pouring the last 710 tons of concrete into the upper framing of the new hotel tower that will house 568 rooms and suites. A giant, concrete-filled bucket the size of a mid-size car was hoisted via crane to the top of the south hotel wing and its contents poured into the structure. A small, sacred oak tree also hitched a ride onto the top of building with the bucket, and was placed atop the tower as a symbol of strength and perseverance. The ceremonial tree will be planted on the resort grounds at the expansion\u2019s completion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, we celebrate the topping out of this new tower, which will give us 568 brand new AAA Four-Diamond rooms.\u00a0 When our resort expansion is done in December, guests will be able to enjoy 13 restaurants, 1,100 rooms and suites, a 4 \u00bd -acre pool complex, a luxury spa, tons of event space, a beautiful golf course, and a casino floor that\u2019s bigger and better than any on the west coast,\u201d said Edith Atwood, President of the Pechanga Development Corporation. \u201cCountless people, as well as more than 2,500 construction trades workers, have labored tirelessly to keep construction on schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The project put more than 2,500 regional construction tradesmen and women to work for the two-year build. Materials used in construction have been largely sourced from Southern California. Builders have poured 81,000 tons of concrete to erect the Pechanga resort expansion\u2019s new hotel wing. More than 2,174 tons of reinforcing steel went into the structure, The base of the intersecting hotel towers is 70-feet wide and 13-feet deep with a large tunnel system allowing the more than 4,500 Pechanga Team Members to move easily through the property for the most efficient guest service. The hotel structure ascends 13 stories on the south and nine stories on the north.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTutor Perini is very proud of our continuing role in the creation of\u00a0one of the most premier destination resorts in the country,\u201d said Travis Burton, Executive Vice President of Tutor Perini Corporation.<\/p>\n<p>When the entire expansion project is complete in December 2017, Pechanga Resort &amp; Casino will offer a full-scale destination experience to visitors coming from California and beyond.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Snapshot of Pechanga When Expansion is Complete:<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u2022 Casino Square Footage: 200,000<br \/>\n\u2022 Event\/Meeting\/Convention square footage: 100,000 (indoor) 174,500 (outdoor)<br \/>\n\u2022 Number of Hotel Rooms: 1,090<br \/>\n\u2022 Number of Restaurants: 13<br \/>\n\u2022 Number of Pools &amp; Spas: 13<br \/>\n\u2022 Number of Employees: 4,560<br \/>\n\u2022 Other Amenities: 2-level luxury Spa, Fitness Center, Championship 18-hole Golf Course, Concert Theater, Nightlife, Green roof<\/p>\n<p>The building was designed by Delawie architects, the original designers of Pechanga Resort &amp; Casino when it was built in 2002.
