      Casino du Lac-Leamy: Building Tomorrow's Casino

      The Casino du Lac-Leamy is one of four casinos in the province of Québec owned and operated by the Société des casinos du Québec (SCQ). Established in 1992, the SCQ’s mandate was to create jobs, add attractions to Québec's tourism industry and generate new income for the provincial government. These casinos are now well-established attractions that provide a unique gaming and entertainment experience and attract more than 10 million visits annually. They are characterized by their exceptional customer service and by the beauty and quality of their sites. The addition of hotel and entertainment services has helped increase the number of clients from outside the province and to stimulate tourism.

      In addition to paying substantial dividends to the Government of Québec, the casinos generate economic spin-offs for the province, maintaining more than 10,000 direct and indirect jobs. They also purchase goods and services from more than 2,300 suppliers in the province.

      The Casino du Lac-Leamy resort complex, which opened in 1996, is the top attraction in the Ottawa/Gatineau region. In 2001, it opened the 349-room Hilton Lac-Leamy hotel, convention centre and theatre. It includes several bars and award-winning restaurants, as well as a brand-new nightclub.

      In June 2012, the Casino du Lac-Leamy announced it would invest $47 million in renovations that would give the casino a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving market. The plans were designed to improve the flow of the physical environment, favour social interaction among clients, update the décor and enhance the overall customer experience. The project is managed by Casiloc, a subsidiary of Loto-Québec, in collaboration with the casino’s project team. 

       

       

       

      First Steps

      Work began in fall 2012 and will be completed in early 2015. One of the key challenges throughout the project has been to keep the casino open and running while maintaining its established standard of customer service. Keeping employees and clients alike informed of slot machine and other equipment and service relocations was among the challenges in the early phases. The first step consisted of preparatory work and demolition of the interior fountains and water features, the panoramic staircase and Bar 777, which took approximately six months to complete.

      Responsible Disposal of Construction Materials

      In keeping with their waste management policy, used equipment that would otherwise be sent to the trash is given to organizations specializing in materials recovery.  Electronics and computer equipment are sent to a local factory that specializes in the recycling of communications and IT waste, textiles are shredded and reused as insulation, metals are melted down and dangerous substances and chemical products are sent to a company certified by the Ministère du Développement durable, de l'Environnement, de la Faune et des parcs, where they are treated and recycled in an environmentally respectful manner.

      Some creative thinking was needed, however, to dispose of the three-storey high bamboo plants that had been growing in the atrium since 1996. The facility transported them to Park Safari in Hemmingford, Québec, where they were offered as a treat to supplement the diets of some of the park’s herbivore residents. This unusual disposal method made for some very happy chimps, giraffes and elephants. 

      New High Roller Lounge

      Renovation of the high roller lounge was completed in April 2014. The new design features intimate seating areas and a redesigned bar.

      The Central Hub: a Focal Point

      In April 2013, construction of the central hub began. This structure is centrally and strategically located on the gaming floor, serving as a transition point between the gaming floor and the upper level restaurants. The hub is a striking structure and important focal point, with its curved exterior surface covered in illuminated metallic “fish scales.” The new Bar 7, located on the lower level of the hub, opened in the spring of 2014, and ALÉA nightclub opened on October 31.

      ALÉA Nightclub:  Rediscover the Night

      A key step in the renovation plan, the Casino du Lac-Leamy’s spectacular new nightclub is located in the upper levels of the central hub and has a capacity of more than 200 people. ALÉA is the crown in the jewel of a unique entertainment experience in the heart of the casino’s gaming area. This intimate, exclusive venue caters to young professionals who are in tune with the latest trends. The nightclub’s luxurious decor includes several VIP sections.

      The opening night party featured iconic American DJ and producer Erick Morillo, resident DJ at the trendiest nightclubs on the planet, including LiFE (at the SLS in Las Vegas) and Miami’s Space. November featured legendary French house music star Bob Sinclar, whose many international hits include the irresistible “Love Generation.” 

      ALÉA is equipped with a powerful sound system and state-of-the-art technology to showcase local and international DJs who feature electronic dance music including house, Top 40 as well as rhythm and blues. A team of VJs and lighting engineers concoct immersive multimedia environments that are projected as “living” wallpaper on the 13-metre wide video wall that overlooks the dance floor.

      A Redesigned Main Entrance

      The fourth and final phase is under way and nearing completion. The casino’s main entrance will be redesigned to provide an immediate view of the gaming area and to provide more efficient guest services. This phase also includes construction of the multimedia ribbon, a striking visual element onto which they will project multimedia productions, providing a constant element of animation throughout the space. This innovative system has been tested successfully at the Casino de Charlevoix.

      When complete, the new environment will provide an added dimension of intensity to the customer’s entertainment experience, and deliver a clear vision of tomorrow’s casino.
