Casino Celebration LLC, a group led by St. Louis developers Jim and Bill Koman, pitched a $115 million complex. It said it would build the casino at the foot of the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge. In the second phase, the group would build a $26 million hotel.
The Koman family has owned and operated the Casino Queen in East St. Louis since 1993.
The city hopes to endorse a project by Sept. 1, when applications to the Missouri Gaming Commission are due.
