The $386 million first phase is to include a 100,000-square-foot casino floor with enough room for 2,300 slot machines and 86 table games, a lounge and several dining and entertainment concepts. Later phases, which could raise the total bid to $700 million, are planned to include a hotel, more gambling space, a spa, a convention center and an entertainment retail district. International Speedway also has committed to asking NASCAR (http://kansascity.bizjournals.com/kansascity/related_content.html?topic=NASCAR) for a second Sprint Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway, building a road course at Kansas Speedway and two free track-side billboards to promote Kansas tourism.
