Resort facilities will include an Otium spa, a 2,500-seat arena, an 80,000sq ft (7,400sq m) casino as well as a 375,000sq ft (35,000sq m) convention centre and a 250,000sq ft (23,000sq m) retail village. Attractions at the resort will comprise an Xqua Extreme waterpark, a snow globe and snowpark and a Mississippi Eye observation and ride wheel. In addition, the project may include an ice feature with trails and skating rinks and a water feature with aquariums and lagoons. Work on site will start in the autumn, with completion of phase one expected to take 18 months. Mississippi-based Myriad-Tunica is owned by Delaware-based Myriad Entertainment & Resorts.
