In 2018, Playground broke ground for a multi-level gaming and entertainment complex. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Playground reopened with renewed vigor, continuing construction and achieving success. By December 2023, Playground celebrated the grand opening of its expanded facility, showcasing its grandness to the world. The complex features three gastronomic outlets: the premier steakhouse etc., the opulent sushi experience Drunken Dragon, and of course our long-time staple The Rail.
