Hotel near completion: The exterior of the Northern Quest Hotel and Spa is complete except for paving of the porte-cochere, Mike Widrup, director of project planning, said Thursday. The 10-story tower, the last phase of a $200 million casino expansion, is on budget and on time for a “soft” opening Dec. 31, he said. Room reservations are being accepted for Jan. 2. As many as 400 workers are on the site.
