"The largest and most ambitious addition is Aya, a 28,000-square-foot restaurant and bar designed with two terraces overlooking Sonoma Mountain and the surrounding hills. The $40 million project includes a walk-through wine tunnel and a $1 million cellar. The menu will center on coastal California cuisine with Asian accents, highlighting local oysters, wild-caught seafood and meats - including Japanese Wagyu - cooked over a wood-burning grill."
"In a notable shift, Aya will feature a dedicated exterior entrance, allowing diners to bypass the casino floor - and the smoking areas that have long posed a challenge for some guests. The expansion also includes a 144,000-square-foot non-smoking gaming floor."
"Playbook Sports Bar, another addition, is built around a central bar wrapped in television screens, with additional wall-mounted displays and individual table screens. The menu leans classic and crowd-pleasing: Detroit-style pizza, Buffalo wings and a pastrami bánh mì with pickled vegetables and Kewpie mayonnaise."
