There has been no confirmation yet if Best Sunshine International, Ltd. will open its “live training facility” this weekend at the T Galleria.
Commonwealth Casino Commission executive director Edward Deleon Guerrero said last week that BSI is looking to open the casino “this month.” He confirmed that the facility now has gaming machines.
A source, requesting anonymity, said the casino will open on Sunday.
BSI put out a full-page ad yesterday in the Saipan Tribune, saying the “Best Sunshine Live casino offers state-of-the-art facilities.” It did not specify an opening date.
Commission chair Juan Sablan said as far as he knows, BSI has yet to give an advisory on the casino opening.
The commission will have a meeting this Friday, but Sablan declined did not say if the casino opening is on the agenda.
Saipan Tribune tried contacting BSI but was not able to get a confirmation on the supposed opening.
BSI earlier said the opening date for the casino is a “moving target.”
According to Mark Brown, CEO of BSI, the company has about 150 employees.
“In terms of number of employees, we’re pushing 150 employees right now locally in our building,” Brown said, adding that the firm is “outgrowing our building, and every Monday it seems there are 30 or 40 more people are coming in.”
He said BSI has already hired a local firm to handle visa processing as well as someone to take care of purchases.
