2018年6月完成，哈拉的AK-Chin酒店和赌场的扩建在亚利桑那州的40英亩附近，在亚利桑那州的40亩，设有最大的游戏目的地，凤凰城。这项工作包括一座11层的混凝土酒店塔楼，博彩空间20,460平方英尺，新食品和饮料场地，多用途活动/宴会中心，750辆汽车停车场，宾果厅和全套SPA和健身中心。
In addition, a pedestrian bridge now spans Ak-Chin Parkway, linking the second floor of the new casino with the Ultra Star Family Entertainment Center across the street. The team also expanded the central plant and upgraded miles of roadway to improve access to the facility.
Gaming is the largest economic generator for the traditionally agricultural area, and in turn helps improve community services and contributes to nearby non-Native American communities.
Because the expansion links to the existing casino and the as-built drawings were inconsistent, the team used geo-located aerial photography, laser-scanning, ground-penetrating radar and selected destructive investigation to document actual conditions. Revit and BIM models allowed the architect, engineers, construction managers, trades and ownership to share precise information.
An art and design committee comprised of community members ensured that the facility incorporated tribal themes to balance the overall contemporary design.
