The first stage of the expansion would include almost doubling the number of rooms, adding more dual and family rooms the resort.
Iris Capital, which purchased Lasseters Hotel Casino last year, have plans to later build residential apartments next to the hotel.
Construction is expected to begin later this year and be completed in stages over a period of at least three years.
Iris Capital chief executive Sam Arnaout said the project was expected to create more than 500 jobs during construction.
He said the organisation would look to hire locals and "transient travellers" for a further 500 full-time jobs once the precinct was fully operational. "We're excited about Lasseters resort becoming the economic engine for the inland capital," Mr Arnaout said.
NT government backs expansion
While visiting Alice Springs on Monday, Chief Minister Michael Gunner said the Northern Territory government backed the investment.
"They're [Iris Capital] doing this because they have confidence in Alice Springs and the future of Alice Springs that this is a world class destination," Mr Gunner said.
The funding announcement followed the Northern Territory government committing to building the National Aboriginal Art Gallery in the Alice Springs CBD last month, after five years of negotiations.
