Grand Experience Takes Shape in West Des Moines | Des Moines News

West Des Moines is gearing up for a massive $400 million development called the Grand Experience, set to transform two sites near the MidAmerican RecPlex into a bustling entertainment hub. The project includes a 142-room hotel, convention center, residences, a sprawling indoor water park, and a brand-new 6,000-seat covered amphitheater — all wrapped up with shops, restaurants, and parking. Mayor Russ Trimble is excited, calling it a destination for locals and regional visitors alike, with full completion expected in a decade. City leaders vote on the updated plans this Friday — if approved, groundbreaking could happen next year. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
