      Atlantis includes three contiguous high-rise hotel towers with 826 rooms and
      suites, and a low-rise motor lodge with another 149 rooms, for a total of 975
      guest rooms. The first of the three hotel towers, which was completed in April
      1991, contains 160 rooms and suites in 13 stories. The 19-story second hotel
      tower was completed in September 1994 and underwent a $3.8 million complete
      interior </font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">renovation
      that was completed </font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">in
      March
      2004</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">.
      As part
      of the renovation, certain suites were expanded and, as a result, five regular
      hotel rooms were eliminated. The second hotel tower now contains </font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">278
      </font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">rooms
      and
      suites. The third tower was </font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">completed
      in June 1999 and contains 388 rooms and suites in 28 stories. The</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">
      rooms on
      the top seven floors in this newest tower are nearly 20% larger than the
      standard guest rooms and offer key card elevator access, upscale accommodations
      and a private concierge service.</font></div>

      Atlantis hotel rooms feature upbeat, colorful interior decorations and
      furnishings consistent with the Atlantis' tropical theme, as well as nine-foot
      ceilings (most standard hotel rooms have eight-foot ceilings), which create
      an
      open and spacious feel. The newest hotel tower features a four-story waterfall
      with an adjacent year-round swimming pool in a climate controlled, five-story
      glass enclosure, which shares an outdoor third floor pool deck with a seasonal
      outdoor swimming pool and year round whirlpool. A full service salon (the "Salon
      at Atlantis") overlooks the third floor sundeck and outdoor seasonal swimming
      pool and offers salon-grade products and treatments for hair, nails, skincare
      and body services for both men and women. A health spa is located</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">
      adjacent
      to the swimming areas. The hotel also features glass elevators rising the full
      19 and 28 stories, respectively, of the two taller hotel towers, providing
      panoramic views of the Reno area and the Sierra Nevada mountain range separating
      Nevada from California.</font></div>

      The motor lodge rooms, which are also decorated and furnished in a manner
      consistent with the Atlantis' tropical theme, are smaller than the tower hotel
      rooms and have standard eight-foot ceilings. We believe the motor lodge rooms
      appeal to value conscious travelers who still want to enjoy the experience

      amenities of a first-class hotel-casino resort. </font></div><br>

      by rooms sold at discounted rates to select wholesale operators for tour and

      were due to fewer conventions at the adjacent Reno-Sparks Convention Center

      2004,
      we constructed a driveway that is being shared between the Atlantis and the
      adjacent Sierra Marketplace Shopping Center (the "Shopping Center") that is
      owned and controlled by affiliates of our chief executive officer and our
      president. A new traffic signal was erected at mid-block on South Virginia
      Street, serving the new driveway. As part of this project, we are leasing a
      37,368 square-foot corner section of the Shopping Center for a minimum lease
      term of 15 years at an annual rent of $300,000, subject to increase every 60
      months based on the consumer price index. We also use part of the common area
      of
      the Shopping Center and pay our proportional share of the common area expense
      of
      the Shopping Center. We have the option to renew the lease for 3 five-year
      terms, and at the end of the extension period, we have the option to purchase
      the leased section of the Shopping Center at a price to be determined based
      on
      an MAI Appraisal. We use the leased space for pedestrian and vehicle access
      to
      the Atlantis, and we have use of a portion of the parking spaces at the Shopping
      Center. The total cost of the project was $2.0 million; we were responsible
      for
      two thirds of the total cost, or $1.35 million. The project was completed,
      the
      driveway was put into use and we began paying rent on September 30, 2004 (see
      Part III - ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS incorporated
      herein by reference to the Company's Proxy Statement to be filed with the
      Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Annual Meeting of
      Stockholders to be held on May 22, 2007). The cost of the new driveway is being
      depreciated over the initial 15-year lease term; some components of the new
      driveway are being depreciated over a shorter period of time (see &#8220;Property and
      Equipment&#8221; in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 1. Summary of
      Significant Accounting Policies&#8221;). We remain committed to implementing
      renovations and upgrades and will consider all capital expenditure projects

      of the Atlantis. New space to be added to the first floor casino level, the
      second and third floors and the basement level will total approximately 116,000
      square feet. Once complete, the existing casino floor will be expanded by over
      10,000 square feet, or approximately 20%. The first floor plans include a
      redesigned, updated and expanded race and sports book of approximately 4,000
      square feet and an enlarged poker room. The plans also include a New York-style
      deli restaurant. The second floor expansion will create additional ballroom
      and
      convention space of approximately 27,000 square feet, doubling our existing
      facilities. The spa and fitness center will be remodeled and expanded to create
      an ultra-modern spa and fitness center facility. We also plan to add a
      pedestrian skywalk over Peckham Street that will connect the Reno-Sparks
      Convention Center directly to the Atlantis. Construction is expected to take
      approximately twelve months and is expected to be funded entirely out of
      existing cash on hand plus cash flow from operations. Excluding the cost of
      the
      skywalk, the expansion is estimated to cost approximately $50 million. Final
      design plans, and the resultant cost estimate, of the skywalk have not been
      completed. </font></div>

      (the &#8220;Shopping Center&#8221;) owned by BLI located adjacent to the Atlantis. On July
      26, 2006, Monarch submitted a formal offer, formulated and delivered by a

      diverse selection of video poker machines. Moreover, we believe that Reno area
      residents seek out and frequent casinos with higher payout rates on slot and
      video poker machines and more liberal rules on table games relative to other
      northern Nevada casinos. We believe the Atlantis offers higher than average
      payout rates on slot machines and we have adopted </font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">liberal

      revenues in Nevada in general, and many analysts have continued to predict
      the
      impact will be more significant on the Reno-Lake Tahoe market. The extent of
      this continued impact is difficult to predict, but we believe that the impact
      on
      us will continue to be mitigated to some extent by the revenue generated from
      the Reno area residents and our proximity to the Reno-Sparks Convention Center.
      However, if other Reno area casinos continue to suffer business losses due
      to
      increased pressure from California Indian casinos, they may intensify their
      marketing efforts to Reno-area residents as well. However, we believe our
      numerous amenities, such as a wide array of restaurants, a video arcade, banquet
      facilities and surface parking are a key factor in our ability to attract Locals
      which competitor facilities will not easily be able to match without major

      are required periodically to submit detailed financial and operating reports
      to

      Our officers, directors and key employees who are actively and directly involved

      deny an application for licensing for any cause that they deem reasonable.
      A
      finding of suitability is comparable to licensing, and both require submission
      of detailed personal and financial information followed by a thorough
      investigation. Applicants for licensing or a finding of suitability must pay
      all
      costs of the investigation. Changes in licensed positions must be reported
      to
      the Nevada Gaming Authorities. In addition to their authority to deny an
      application for a finding of suitability or licensure, the Nevada Gaming
      Authorities also have jurisdiction to disapprove a change in a corporate
      position.</font></div>

      Island, Bahamas in the United States District Court, District of Nevada. The
      case number assigned to the matter is 3:06-cv-00232-ECR (RAM). The complaint
      seeks declaratory judgment prohibiting Monarch from using the name "Atlantis"
      in
      connection with offering casino services other than at Monarch's Atlantis Casino
      Resort Spa located in Reno, Nevada, and particularly prohibiting Monarch from
      using the "Atlantis" name in connection with offering casino services in Las
      Vegas, Nevada; injunctive relief enforcing the same; unspecified compensatory
      and punitive damages; and other relief. Monarch believes Kerzner's claims to
      be
      entirely without merit and is defending vigorously against the suit. Further,
      Monarch has filed a counterclaim against Kerzner seeking to enforce the license
      agreement granting Monarch the exclusive right to use the Atlantis name in
      association with lodging throughout the state of Nevada; to cancel Kerzner's
      registration of the Atlantis mark for casino services on the basis that the
      mark
      was fraudulently obtained by Kerzner; and to obtain declaratory relief on these
      issues. Litigation is in the discovery phase. </font></div>

      affiliates of our principal stockholders (the "Shopping Center"). As part of
      this project, we are leasing a 37,368 square-foot corner section of the Shopping
      Center for a minimum lease term of 15 years at an annual rent of $300,000
      subject to increase every 60 months based on the consumer price index. We are
      also using part of the common area of the Shopping Center and pay our
      proportional share of the common area expense of the Shopping Center. We have
      the option to renew the lease for 3 five-year terms, and at the end of the
      extension period, we have the option to purchase the leased section of the
      Shopping Center at a price to be determined based on an MAI appraisal. We use
      the leased space for pedestrian and vehicle access to the Atlantis and we have
      use of a portion of the parking spaces at the Shopping Center. The total cost
      of
      the project was $2.0 million; we were responsible for two thirds of the total
      cost, or $1.35 million. This project was completed, the driveway was put into
      use and we began paying rent on September 30, 2004 (see Part III - ITEM 13.

      expect
      to begin construction in the second quarter of 2007 on the next expansion phase
      of the Atlantis. New space to be added to the first floor casino level, the
      second and third floors and the basement level will total approximately 116,000
      square feet. Once complete, the existing casino floor will be expanded by over
      10,000 square feet, or approximately 20%. The first floor plans include a
      redesigned, updated and expanded race and sports book of approximately 4,000
      square feet and an enlarged poker room. The plans also include a New York-style
      deli restaurant. The second floor expansion will create additional ballroom
      and
      convention space of approximately 27,000 square feet, doubling our existing
      facilities. The spa and fitness center will be remodeled and expanded to create
      an ultra-modern spa and fitness center facility. We are currently in
      negotiations to add a pedestrian skywalk over Peckham Street that will connect
      the Reno-Sparks Convention Center directly to the Atlantis. Upon completion
      of
      an agreement, construction is expected to take approximately twelve months
      and
      is expected to be funded entirely out of existing cash on hand plus cash flow
      from operations. Excluding the cost of the skywalk, the expansion is estimated
      to cost approximately $50 million. Final design plans, and the resultant cost
      estimate, of the skywalk have not been completed. </font></div>

      require that we apply significant judgment in defining the appropriate

      judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Our judgments are
      based on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, observations of

      tax law; the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated;
      and (d) the measurement of deferred income taxes is reduced, if necessary,

      revenues totaled $94.5 million in 2005, up 12.3% from $84.1 million in 2004,
      driven by increases in slot, poker and Keno win, partially offset by flat
      revenues in table game win. Revenue from slot and video poker machines ("slot
      machines") increased approximately 15.2% in 2005 compared to 2004. We believe
      that increased slot machine play was due to continued effective marketing and
      continuous upgrade of facilities and equipment. Table game win decreased
      approximately 0.2% in 2005 compared to 2004 due to a slightly lower win
      percentage partially offset by an increase in drop. Keno and poker room revenues
      combined increased approximately 9.6% in 2005 over 2004. Keno write increased
      approximately 7.7% in 2005 compared to 2004 while poker revenue increased
      approximately 10.1% compared to 2004 due to continued effective marketing.
      Casino operating expenses were 33.9% of casino revenues in 2005, an improvement
      from 36.3% in 2004. The improved casino margin in 2005 over 2004 was due to
      improved win percentages, reduced payroll and benefit costs, reduced
      complimentary costs and reduced direct operating costs as a percentage of casino
      revenue resulting in more efficient operations.</font></div>

      revenues totaled $23.9 million in 2005, a decrease of 1.7% from $24.3 million

      (&#8220;ADR&#8221;) and occupancy rate during the twelve month period of 2005 compared to
      the same period in 2004. Year 2005 revenues also included a $3.00 per occupied
      room energy surcharge that was also assessed during 2004. The Atlantis' ADR
      was
      $63.24 in 2005, compared to $64.16 in 2004. The average occupancy rate at the
      Atlantis was 93.0% in 2005 compared to 93.6% in 2004. Hotel operating expenses
      decreased slightly to 32.2% of hotel revenues in 2005, compared to 32.3% in
      2004. The decreases in ADR and occupancy in 2005 were due to fewer conventions
      at the adjacent Reno-Sparks Convention Center and the fact that Reno did not
      host a major bowling tournament in 2005. Conventions typically draw higher
      room
      rates. This decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of hotel revenues
      resulted primarily from reduced direct departmental expenses as a percentage

      expect
      to begin construction in the second quarter of 2007 on the next expansion phase
      of the Atlantis. New space to be added to the first floor casino level, the
      second and third floors and the basement level will total approximately 116,000
      square feet. Once complete, the existing casino floor will be expanded by over
      10,000 square feet, or approximately 20%. The first floor plans include a
      redesigned, updated and expanded race and sports book of approximately 4,000
      square feet and an enlarged poker room. The plans also include a New York-style
      deli restaurant. The second floor expansion will create additional ballroom
      and
      convention space of approximately 27,000 square feet, doubling our existing
      facilities. The spa and fitness center will be remodeled and expanded to create
      an ultra-modern spa and fitness center facility. We are currently in
      negotiations to add a pedestrian skywalk over Peckham Street that will connect
      the Reno-Sparks Convention Center directly to the Atlantis. Upon completion
      of
      an agreement, construction is expected to take approximately twelve months
      and
      is expected to be funded entirely out of existing cash on hand plus cash flow
      from operations. Excluding the cost of the skywalk, the expansion is estimated
      to cost approximately $50 million. Final design plans, and the resultant cost
      estimate, of the skywalk have not been completed. </font></div>

      balance of the Original Credit Facility. At our option, borrowings under the
      New
      Credit Facility will accrue interest at a rate designated by the agent bank
      at
      its base rate (the "Base Rate") or at the London Interbank Offered Rate
      ("LIBOR") for one, two, three or six month periods. The rate of interest paid
      by
      us will include a margin added to either the Base Rate or to LIBOR that is
      tied
      to our ratio of funded debt to EBITDA (the "Leverage Ratio"). Depending on
      our
      Leverage Ratio, this margin can vary between 0.25 percent and 1.25 percent
      above
      the Base Rate, and between 1.50 percent and 2.50 percent above LIBOR (under
      the
      Original Credit Facility, this margin varied between 0.00 percent and 2.00
      percent above the Base Rate, and between 1.50 percent and 3.50 percent above
      LIBOR). At December 31, 2006, we had no borrowings under the New Credit
      Facility; however, our leverage ratio was such that the pricing for borrowings
      would have been the Base Rate plus 0.25 percent or LIBOR plus 1.50
      percent.</font></div>

      reduced over five years by an aggregate of $30.875 million in equal increments
      of $1.625 million per quarter with the remaining balance due at the maturity
      date. We may prepay borrowings under the New Credit Facility without penalty
      (subject to certain charges applicable to the prepayment of LIBOR borrowings
      prior to the end of the applicable interest period). Amounts prepaid under
      the
      New Credit Facility may be reborrowed so long as the total borrowings

      Effective February 2007, in consideration of our cash balance, cash expected
      to
      be generated from operations and to avoid agency and commitment fees, we elected

      financial statements: (a) a current liability or asset is recognized for the
      estimated taxes payable or refundable on taxes for the current year; (b) a
      deferred income tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated future
      tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards; (c) the
      measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on
      the
      provisions of the enacted tax law; the effects of future changes in tax laws
      or
      rates are not anticipated; and (d) the measurement of deferred income taxes

      resulting from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of
      the
      compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be

      significant portion of the Company's revenues and operating income are generated
      from patrons who are residents of northern California. A change in general
      economic conditions or the extent and nature of casino gaming in California,
      Washington or Oregon could adversely affect the Company's operating results.
      The
      constitutional amendment approved by California voters in 1999 allowing the
      expansion of Indian casinos in California has had an impact on casino revenues
      in Nevada in general, and many analysts have continued to predict the impact
      will be more significant on the Reno-Lake Tahoe market. The extent of this
      continued impact is difficult to predict, but we believe that the impact on
      us
      will continue to be mitigated to some extent due to the Atlantis' emphasis
      on
      Reno area residents as a significant base of its business, as well as its
      proximity to the Reno-Sparks Convention Center. However, if other Reno area
      casinos continue to suffer business losses due to increased pressure from
      California Indian casinos, they may intensify their marketing efforts to
      Reno-area residents as well. However, we believe our numerous amenities such
      as
      a wide array of restaurants, a video arcade, banquet facilities and surface
      parking are a key factor in our ability to attract Locals which competitor
      facilities will not easily be able to match without major capital

      very successful, adversely impacting many hotel casinos in Reno. Once these

      2004,
      a driveway was constructed that is being shared between the Atlantis and the
      adjacent Sierra Marketplace Shopping Center that is owned and controlled by
      affiliates of the Company's principal stockholders (the "Shopping Center").
      A
      new traffic signal was erected at mid-block on South Virginia Street, serving
      the new driveway. As part of this project, the Company is leasing a 37,368
      square-foot corner section of the Shopping Center for a minimum lease term
      of 15
      years at an annual rent of $300,000, subject to increase every 60 months based
      on the Consumer Price Index. The Company is also using part of the common area
      of the Shopping Center and pays its proportional share of the common area
      expense of the Shopping Center. The Company has the option to renew the lease
      for 3 five-year terms, and at the end of the extension period, the Company
      has
      the option to purchase the leased section of the Shopping Center at a price
      to
      be determined based on an MAI appraisal. The Company uses the leased space
      for
      pedestrian and vehicle access to the Atlantis, and the Company has use of a
      portion of the parking spaces at the Shopping Center. The total cost of the
      project was $2.0 million; the Company was responsible for two thirds of the
      total cost, or $1.35 million. The project was completed, the driveway was put
      into use and the Company began paying rent on September 30, 2004. The cost
      of
      the new driveway is being depreciated over the initial 15-year lease term;
      some
      components of the new driveway are being depreciated over a shorter period
      of
      time. </font></div>

      February 20, 2004, the Original Credit Facility was refinanced (the "New Credit
      Facility") for $50 million, which included the $46 million payoff of the unpaid
      balance of the Original Credit Facility. At the Company&#8217;s option, borrowings
      under the New Credit Facility accrue interest at a rate designated by the agent
      bank at its base rate (the "Base Rate") or at the London Interbank Offered
      Rate
      ("LIBOR") for one, two, three or six month periods. The rate of interest paid
      by
      the Company will include a margin added to either the Base Rate or to LIBOR
      that
      is tied to our ratio of funded debt to EBITDA (the "Leverage Ratio"). Depending
      on our Leverage Ratio, this margin can vary between 0.25 percent and 1.25
      percent above the Base Rate, and between 1.50 percent and 2.50 percent above
      LIBOR (under the Original Credit Facility, this margin varied between 0.00
      percent and 2.00 percent above the Base Rate, and between 1.50 percent and
      3.50
      percent above LIBOR). At December 31, 2006, the Company had no borrowings under
      the New Credit Facility; however, its leverage ratio was such that the pricing
      for borrowings would have been the Base Rate plus 0.25 percent or LIBOR plus
      1.50 percent.</font></div>

      under the New Credit Facility at any time so long as the amount of such
      reduction is at least $500,000 and a multiple of $50,000.</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">&#160;</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">The

      Plan - Effective November 1, 1995, the Company adopted a savings plan, which

      participating employees may defer up to 15% of their pre-tax compensation,
      but
      not more than statutory limits. For years earlier than 2007, the Company
      contributed twenty five cents for each dollar contributed by a participant,
      with
      a maximum contribution of 4% of a participant's compensation. Effective January
      1, 2007, the Company increased its contribution to fifty cents for each dollar
      contributed by a participant. The Company's matching contributions were

      of the Directors' Stock Option Plan, the Executive Long-term Incentive Plan,
      and
      the Employee Stock Option Plan (the "Plans"), which collectively provide for
      the
      granting of options to purchase up to 2,250,000 common shares. The exercise
      price of stock options granted under the Plans is established by the respective
      plan committees, but the exercise price may not be less than the market price
      of
      the Company's common stock on the date the option is granted. The Company stock
      options typically vest on a graded schedule, typically in equal, one-third
      increments, although the respective stock option committees have the discretion
      to impose different vesting periods or modify existing vesting periods. Options
      expire ten years from the grant date. By their amended terms, the Plans will
      expire in June 2013 after which no options may be granted.</font></div><br>

      January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R requiring
      the
      measurement and recognition of all share-based compensation under the fair

      Accordingly, for the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recognized
      share-based compensation for all current award grants and for the unvested
      portion of previous award grants based on grant date fair values. Prior to
      fiscal 2006, the Company accounted for share-based awards under </font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">the

      1.
      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. With the adoption of SFAS 123R,
      we
      changed our method of expense attribution for fair value share-based
      compensation from the straight-line approach to the accelerated approach for
      all
      awards granted. The Company anticipates the accelerated method will provide
      a
      more meaningful measure of costs incurred and be most representative of the
      economic reality associated with unvested stock options outstanding.
      Unrecognized costs related to all share-based awards outstanding at December
      31,
      2006 totaled approximately $4.5 million and is expected to be recognized over
      a
      weighted average period of 1.58 years.</font></div>

      previously disclosed, litigation was filed against Monarch on January 27, 2006,
      by Kerzner International Limited (&#8220; Kerzner ") owner of the Atlantis, Paradise
      Island, Bahamas in the United States District Court, District of Nevada. The
      case number assigned to the matter is 3:06-cv-00232-ECR (RAM). The complaint
      seeks declaratory judgment prohibiting Monarch from using the name "Atlantis"
      in
      connection with offering casino services other than at Monarch's Atlantis Casino
      Resort Spa located in Reno, Nevada, and particularly prohibiting Monarch from
      using the "Atlantis" name in connection with offering casino services in Las
      Vegas, Nevada; injunctive relief enforcing the same; unspecified compensatory
      and punitive damages; and other relief. Monarch believes Kerzner's claims to
      be
      entirely without merit and is defending vigorously against the suit. Further,
      Monarch has filed a counterclaim against Kerzner seeking to enforce the license
      agreement granting Monarch the exclusive right to use the Atlantis name in
      association with lodging throughout the state of Nevada; to cancel Kerzner's
      registration of the Atlantis mark for casino services on the basis that the
      mark
      was fraudulently obtained by Kerzner; and to obtain declaratory relief on these
      issues. Litigation is in the discovery phase. </font></div>

      Company expects to begin construction in the second quarter of 2007 on the
      next
      expansion phase of the Atlantis. New space to be added to the first floor casino
      level, the second and third floors and the basement level will total
      approximately 116,000 square feet. Once complete, the existing casino floor
      will
      be expanded by over 10,000 square feet, or approximately 20%. The first floor
      plans include a redesigned, updated and expanded race and sports book of
      approximately 4,000 square feet and an enlarged poker room. The plans also
      include a New York-style deli restaurant. The second floor expansion will create
      additional ballroom and convention space of approximately 27,000 square feet,
      doubling the existing facilities. The spa and fitness center will be remodeled
      and expanded to create an ultra-modern spa and fitness center facility. The
      Company is currently in negotiations to add a pedestrian skywalk over Peckham
      Street that will connect the Reno-Sparks Convention Center directly to the
      Atlantis. Upon completion of an agreement, construction is expected to take
      approximately twelve months and is expected to be funded entirely out of
      existing cash on hand plus cash flow from operations. Excluding the cost of
      the
      skywalk, the expansion is estimated to cost approximately $50 million. Final
      design plans, and the resultant cost estimate, of the skywalk have not been
