To commemorate the rebrand, Bally's Kansas City Casino will host an official groundbreaking ceremony August 18 at 11 a.m. Festivities will include live entertainment, food samples, speeches by local officials and presentations by Bally's executives. The event is open to the public. "We are proud to bring the Bally's brand to Kansas City as part of what we believe will be a transformative redevelopment," President and CEO of Bally's Corporation George Papanier said. "This represents an exciting time for our customers as we have several new and engaging experiences planned for the property which will generate additional excitement on the Berkley Riverfront. I'd like to thank the State of Missouri for its collaboration throughout this process, and I'd also like to recognize our team members for their contributions to this significant endeavor." In July of 2020, Isle of Capri Casino transitioned to new ownership, and plans were made for a $61 million redevelopment.
