Vegas view of new casino plan

But this is what could be greeting gaming fans in the heart of Wolverhampton.

Wolverhampton's historic Low Level Station is currently being transformed into one of the city's most stunning casino and leisure developments.

This artist's impression show how the grand complex will become one of the city's most impressive landmarks.

Workmen have spent the past year studying old photographs of the old station in a bid to bring it back to its former glory with the new development.

Intricate ceiling plasterwork has been replicated to exact detail to stand alongside original features in a bid to give a new generation of customers a taste of the past.

Windows and doors have also been installed and rotting brickwork around the grand sweeping window arches restored.

Old York stone which made up the original station platform has also been used to landscape land around the site.

But bosses are also keen to give customers a taste of contemporary luxury, and will be creating a futuristic glass curtain to house a casino, restaurant and bar.

The leisure development will be fitted out with sleek furniture and lighting systems, as well as bursting with gambling machines and card tables.

Clermont Leisure is expected to move on to the site in January to fit out the development, ready for opening next summer.

Jonathan Cox, managing director of Oswin Developments, the firm behind the renovation, said today the leisure complex would provide a top-class facility that was not currently available in Wolverhampton.

"There are other casinos in the area but this will be a top-class, London-style facility which will be like no other in the region," he said.

The station site has already been brought partly back to life with the opening of a Premier Inn hotel and restaurant with bar.

Foundations are also being laid for new homes that are being created by housebuilder Barratt.
