pursuant to section 1 of P.L.2010, c. 115 ( C.5:12-80.1 ), may be permitted to increase its initial casino space by 10,000 square feet if

except that at no time during the period of small-scale casino licensure or staged
casino licensure, as the case may be, shall the total casino space exceed 54,000 square

dining and entertainment venues. Special amenities shall not include casino space, facilities directly related to
