The budget changes also reflect significant increases in the cost of construction materials since the initial budget was set. Overall, the budget was increased to $430 million from $350 million to reflect these changes. The $430 million budget includes significant contingencies for additional increases in the cost of construction materials and other factors.

Once signed, the construction contract will lock in approximately 90% of anticipated hard construction costs of the project.

Lee, Chairman and CEO of Pinnacle Entertainment. "We remain confident about our investment in downtown St. Louis and look forward to our resort's opening in the second half of 2007."
