Meadows Racetrack & Casino officials will hold a brief ceremony Wednesday, Sept. 5, to mark the beginning of the removal of the 44-year-old grandstand, which will be replaced by a state-of-the-art $155 million casino that will include a grandstand, 200-room hotel and luxury spa. The ceremony, complete with wrecking ball, will begin at approximately 3 p.m. n Sept. 5. The permanent 350,000 square-foot facility, which will provide about 1,500 jobs, is slated to open in early 2009. The Meadows is owned by Las Vegas-based Cannery Casino Resorts. (The Meadows)
