GrandWest will be shutting down all operations across the complex from Sunday, 20 to Tuesday, 22 October.
GrandWest General Manager Mervyn Naidoo says, “The shutdown is phase three of our electrical system upgrade. The first and second phases were carried out in February and early October this year. When it is complete our overhauled electrical infrastructure and new generators will be better able to deal with future inconsistencies in grid supply.
“We have again elected to shut down the complex completely, as partial shutdowns are disruptive to guests, and they would not give contractors the space and time they need for the new installations.”
Guests will be able to come onto the complex on Sunday 20 October, but from 10pm that night they will be led out. By 11pm the complex will be closed, and the contractors will take over.
Engineers will begin the tests from early on Tuesday, 22 October. Various shifts will come on duty from Tuesday morning as staff prepare for the reopening Tuesday afternoon.
“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.”
