The planning continues for Vernon's Lake City Casino to move out of the Village Green Hotel to a new venue. Director of Marketing, Suzanne Carter says while there will be a small stage, they're not putting in a showroom, like the new lower mainland casinos.Carter says they will be adding a small entertainment venue to the new casino. The show pubs will also be added to casinos in Kelowna and Kamloops within the next 18-months. Carter says they're still going through the regulatory process so they're not releasing the specifics about the Vernon casino. The City of Vernon recently approved zoning in the north end that would allow gaming facilities to be built there.
