West Virginia Cold War Nuclear Bunker / Resort To Open Casino




During the Cold War the United States government maintained a top-secret underground bunker in the mountains of West Virginia. Built under The Greenbrier, a luxurious Southern resort, the facility was designed to house the members of the House of Representatives and the Senate in case of nuclear attack.

Compromised by an investigative reporter in 1993, the bunker is now open to the public. With the code name "Project Greek Island", it remains a sobering reminder of how America lived with and prepared for the possibility of a Soviet nuclear attack. You can enter the bunker or you can read an interview with Fritz Bugas, former on-site Superintendent of the Greenbrier bunker.

The Greenbrier, in West Virginia, has announced key plans for the new casino. The property has introduced a new vice president of casino operations and unveiled the location for an interim casino. In addition, the Greenbrier has preliminary schematics of the casinos design, as prepared by Shope Reno Wharton of South Norwalk, Conn. Todd Fishon was introduced as vice president of casino operations for The Greenbrier.

Fishon began his career at the Showboat Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey and opened Foxwoods Resort and Casino in Connecticut. Later, he joined Sol Casinos in Tucson, Arizona as director of operations. The Greenbrier plans to break ground on the casino in the near future, with an opening slated for April 1, 2010.

In the meantime, Greenbrier guests and members will be able to enjoy this new amenity, including slot and table games, in a temporary venue, 38*80, a lounge in the resorts Virginia Wing. The facility’s projected opening date is September 15. For more information or reservations, call 800-624-6070 or visit www.greenbrier.com .
