The shuttered Harrah’s Tunica Resort is slated to undergo a $140 million transformation into a massive complex housing hotels, a 200-space RV park, a golf course, a youth sports complex and more.

Co-developers Tunica Hospitality & Entertainment, LLC and Milwaukee-based Summit Smith Development unveiled the plans Wednesday morning. The new resort in Tunica County could employ up to 650 people when completed.

The project will include the construction of a 20-acre water park and the youth sports complex. Two hotels on the property will be renovated and will have more than 1,100 rooms between them. An 18,000-square-foot spa and salon, a 50,000-square-foot convention center and "family fun center" with an arcade will also be added to the sprawling property.

"Water park plans were recently finalized to include a Lazy River; a DownUnder drop capsule slides; a concessions area; two swim-up bars with tables and benches; restrooms and locker rooms; raft bowl slide; shallow sunning area with spray features; kids slides; floatable walk area; water volleyball area; water basketball area; flow rider area with bleachers; and more features and attractions added at later date," according to a press release from the developers.

Construction progress update from the new Ritz-Carlton in Turks & Caicos

Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment officials are excited with the progress at the site, said Anne Graffice, executive vice president of public relations. “It is a great indication of the continued progress of our Village project for our community and a sign of much more to come.”

The second phase includes remodeling the DoubleTree by Hilton hotel in downtown Canton and work on a plaza at the stadium's east end. The hotel opened in November while work at the stadium is ongoing.

Construction of a retail promenade and a 180-room hotel are planned to start later this year on property north of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. A football-themed water park and other buildings also are part of the second phase. Plans call for phase two to be completed by the end of 2023.

The final steel beam is in place for the Constellation Center for Excellence office building at the Hall of Fame Village powered by Johnson Controls.

Members of Iron Workers Local 550, based in Canton, installed the beam Tuesday morning. The traditional ceremony saw a beam outfitted with an American flag, a Christmas tree and a union flag hoisted to the top of the building being constructed near the west end zone of Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium.
