Sydney's one-of-a-kind entertainment venue, The Star, was officially reopened in September 2011. The $870 million transformation of Star City includes the reorientation of the building to embrace Sydney Harbour and the city skyline.

The Star boasts more than 20 restaurants, bars and cafes, a new 171 room luxury boutique hotel, The Darling, a 16 room Spa, luxury retail collection and upscale gaming areas. An all-star line-up of chefs have set up signature restaurants while a new deluxe cocktail lounge, Cherry and live music venue Rock Lily, ensure everyone's needs are catered for.

These new amenities complement the existing 480 room Astral Tower and Residences and Lyric Theatre.

Other venues scheduled to open in 2012 and 2013 include an international nightclub and a $100 million events and function centre.
