![]() Star City has recently opened the sports bar as well. This is accessed by invitation only, and there are currently fewer than 500 Diamond Card Members that are entitled to use the Chairmans Lounge. Another recent upgrade is the addition of a new "ultra exclusive" area directly above the Sovereign Room called the Chairmans Lounge. These extensions have an estimated cost of $7,000,000. The Sovereign Room has been upgraded and now includes four additional private gaming rooms and extra dining and lounge amenities. The complex is now owned by The Star Entertainment Group. The permanent casino, designed by Sydney architect, Philip Cox, opened in November 1997, was one of the largest building projects ever carried out in Australia. ![]() A temporary casino was opened by Acting Prime Minister Kim Beazley on 13 September 1995 on the site of former wharves 12/13. In December 1994, a consortium of Leighton Properties and Showboat was announced by the NSW Casino Control Authority as the successful applicant for New South Wales' first casino licence. In late 2007, it was granted a 12-year extension of its exclusivity and licence. Its gaming operations are overseen and controlled by the New South Wales Casino Control Authority and is licensed to be the only legal casino in New South Wales. It also includes the 2,000 seat Sydney Lyric theatre and 3,000-seat Event Centre. Overlooking Darling Harbour, The Star, owned by Star Entertainment Group features two gaming floors, one bars, 3 restaurants, 351 hotel rooms and 130 serviced and privately owned apartments. The Star Sydney (formerly Star City Casino and prior to that, Sydney Harbour Casino) in Pyrmont, Sydney, is the second largest casino in Australia after Melbourne's Crown Casino.
