Ilani Resort in Washington has unveiled a spacious 11,000-square-foot High Limit Slot Room that boasts 69 slot machines and a dedicated bar with 15 bar-top gaming terminals, providing visitors with an exclusive high-limit gaming atmosphere in a more intimate setting.
The reimagined High Limit Room is now exclusively for table games, featuring 14 baccarat tables and six blackjack tables. This new layout includes a specialized player services area aimed at delivering personalized assistance for high-limit players.
“Our revamped High Limit areas create tailored gaming experiences with enhanced comfort for our esteemed guests, featuring architectural elements that seamlessly blend with our existing facilities,” said Kara Fox-LaRose, President and General Manager of ilani. She also highlighted forthcoming improvements in dining and interactive gaming options at the resort.
The new bar is situated on the gaming floor, allowing guests to enjoy gaming without having to leave their seats. This area merges gaming with social engagement in one cohesive venue.
Several dining options at ilani are also set for updates. The resort’s Asian restaurant, Longhouse, famous for its made-to-order sushi and noodle dishes, will move to the former Tom’s Urban location in early 2026. The new venue will feature private dining spaces and will expand its menu to include both traditional and contemporary Asian cuisine.
Michael Jordan’s Steak House is undergoing renovations, which include a fresh interior design with new lighting and color schemes. This upgrade will introduce two private dining rooms and an outdoor section featuring a fire pit, catering to group dining in an open-air environment.
Following a relaunch, Tom’s Urban has rebranded to Tom’s Watch Bar, now operating in a 7,509-square-foot space next to the ilani Sportsbook. The newly designed location is home to the region’s largest LED video wall and features a revamped menu tailored to ongoing sports broadcasts.
In the vicinity of the Sportsbook, ilani is gearing up for the rollout of a stadium-style electronic table game setup by Interblock. Set to debut in mid-August, this configuration will feature 30 player terminals offering access to blackjack, baccarat, craps, and roulette from one device. The setup merges the experience of live dealers with the convenience of digital multi-game capabilities.
Once Longhouse has moved, its former site will transform into the ilani Forever Rewards Center. This new area will centralize promotional materials, prize displays, and customer service connected to ilani’s rewards program, with completion anticipated by spring 2026. The revamped center will showcase natural materials and subdued colors.
“The design of these updated areas draws inspiration from the innovative work of Marnell Architecture,” Fox-LaRose stated. “Their meticulous approach guarantees that every detail aligns with our resort’s existing style while enhancing the overall guest experience.”
