Renovation in Progress 

The former Holiday Inn & Diamonds Casino is undergoing a nearly $1 million makeover that will extend from the exterior of the facility to common areas and guest rooms/suites. Guests will immediately notice new signage and enhanced exterior lighting. Additional exterior improvements include landscaping and paint refurbishment. Scheduled modifications to guest rooms include new beds and bedding, new Ramada bath amenities, and upgraded bath fixtures, including spa-style showerheads. Common areas will be refreshed with new carpeting. The property�s high-traffic casino is also scheduled for renovation.
