Hamilton businessman P.J. Mercanti is set to make a presentation to city council's general issues committee on Wednesday about the $200-million casino complex his group RockHammer Inc. has proposed for the downtown core.

In addition to a gaming facility, the development, Mercanti has said, would include a Hard Rock Café-branded luxury hotel, a live music venue, multiple bars and restaurants and a museum celebrating Canadian music.

Hamilton has been debating a possible casino since last year. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Commissions' lease to operate 801 slot machines at Flamboro Downs expires on March 31.

The corporation wants the city to pass a motion by March 1 saying whether Hamilton still wants a gaming facility, and if so, where one could be located.
