 The
R1,5-billion complex will set a new standard for family entertainment
in South Africa and is much more than just a casino. It pays
homage to the history of the Cape and offers something unique.
The design of GrandWest recreates historic Cape Town, which
in its heyday was more vibrant than any other South African
city.
 A
host of entertainment awaits Capetonians. A recreation of the
1652 Fort of Good Hope will be home to a children's amusement
park, offering everything from Barbie Doll World to puppet
shows. Kids will also be able to enjoy go-karts and
adventure golf. The fort is dwarfed by the Victoria
tall-ship, which will form the backdrop for the annual GrandWest
Cape of Good Hope International Tattoo.
There are also no less than two ice rinks being opened
at GrandWest's "Ice Station". For the first time, Cape
Town will be home to an Olympic-size ice rink which will be
able to host international ice events. Immediately next to the
Olympic-size rink is a mini-rink just for the little ones.
 The
ice-rinks are the centre-piece of our entertainment centre,
which includes a fast-food court, with all your favourite
outlets. Overlooking the food court is Anant Singh's new "Starz
Cinemas" complex, which houses 6 cinemas, which will all
offer the very latest Hollywood blockbusters.
 The
world-class casino evokes the richness of the Cape's maritime
tradition. Proud, golden figureheads adorn the casino's walls,
recalling the city's rich sea-faring history. Our smartly attired
croupiers will add to the feeling of being aboard a gracious
ocean liner. The casino floor will be home to 1 750 slot
machines and 66 gaming tables, offering roulette,
Diamond Rush Black Jack, poker and punto banco.
As with all Sun International casinos, GrandWest will offer
the very latest in smart-card technology. The casino
will be surrounded by bars and restaurants, all open
24 hours a day.
Two hotels are now open at GrandWest. A Cape-Dutch
City Lodge Hotel has 120 rooms. The more stately Grand
Hotel has 40 rooms and is a recreation of the historic Cape
Town hotel of the same name. Both hotels offer guests the ultimate
in resort luxury and are a gentle stroll from the casino floor.
 GrandWest
is located on Vanguard Drive on the old Goodwood Showgrounds,
between the N1 and N2 highways, less than 15 minutes drive
from the Cape Town CBD. |
