Downstream Casino currently employs over 1,100 people.

Reported September 17, 2012:  Downstream Casino Resort is looking to fill 75 new jobs before the December opening of its second hotel.

On Tuesday, the resort will be hosting a job fair in the pavilion behind the hotel.

The new hotel will have more than 150 rooms and other amenities where positions will need to be filled.

Resort managers hope to have most of the new employees come from this job fair.
