The first round of proposals in 2008 resulted in the selection of Harrah's Entertainment over two other bidders, but Harrah's then withdrew because of factors stemming from the financial crisis of 2007–2008. Casino proposals in Sumner County were divided between Wellington, the largest town in the county, and Mulvane, which was 14 miles closer to the area's main population center, Wichita. The referendum failed in Sedgwick County, leaving Sumner County as the area's only possible casino site. This requirement was waived for Sumner County because it had passed an advisory measure in favor of casino gaming in 2005. The law required a local referendum in each county before a casino could be approved. One of the casinos was allocated to the Wichita area ( Sedgwick and Sumner Counties). In 2007, the state enacted the Kansas Expanded Lottery Act, which included authorization for four casinos to be built and managed by private developers, under contract with the Kansas Lottery. The resort includes the Kansas Star Arena, a multipurpose entertainment venue that hosts concerts, pageants, and various athletic and equestrian events. It is located on the west side of the I-35 ( Kansas Turnpike). The Kansas Star Casino is a casino and hotel in western Mulvane, Kansas, United States, owned and managed by Boyd Gaming.
