Penn Entertainment has announced Dec. 1 as the opening date for the second hotel tower at M Resort Spa Casino Las Vegas, pending regulatory approvals. The $206 million project will open months ahead of its original construction timeline.

The expansion nearly doubles the property's capacity to 765 guestrooms and suites, positioning the resort, which is just south of the Las Vegas Strip, for increased group business and local market demand.

The expansion includes a partnership with The Emeril Group to bring Meril restaurant to the property. The contemporary American restaurant concept, named after chef Emeril Lagasse's daughter, will mark its second location following the original in New Orleans. The restaurant features a diverse menu inspired by Lagasse's culinary expertise and global travels.
