GrandWest will be shutting down all operations across the complex from Sunday 18 February to Wednesday 21 February.
GrandWest general manager Mervyn Naidoo says, “The complex was built 23 years ago and in that time technology has raced ahead. Frequent power cuts have also taken their toll, so the ageing electrical infrastructure requires extensive upgrades. We spent the past year working on a master plan to overhaul our entire electrical infrastructure to also install newer model generators.”
According to Naidoo they feel that shutting down parts of the complex at a time will be more disruptive to guests than simply closing for three days to give the contractors the space and time they need for new installations. Guests will be able to come onto the complex on Sunday 18 February, but from 23:00 that night they will be led out. By midnight the complex will be closed, and the contractors will take over.
“Casino MVG members will be notified electronically when we reopen, and we ask that anyone wanting to visit other areas of the complex check grandwest.co.za for updates. We regret the inconvenience and thank our guests for their patience.”
