As reported by the Reno Gazette-Journal: "The Atlantis Casino Resort wants
to build a sky bridge over Peckham Lane to pipe guests to and from the
Reno-Sparks Convention Center as part of a $50 million expansion. "The
hotel-casino could begin work late this year on a 116,000-square-foot
expansion that would add significantly to the casino floor and convention
space, officials said. "...The casino expansion plans have been approved by
the city as part of the company's 1998 master plan, Co-Chairman and Chief
Executive John Farahi said. The bridge and skywalk connecting the convention
center and hotel-casino will need approval from the Reno-Sparks Convention &
Visitors Authority board of directors. "...The entire project should take 10
to 12 months to complete once work begins, Farahi said..."
