As illustrated in the ten-year economic impact report we released today, the Casino provided $2.8 billion to Michigan’s economy in the last ten years. “This is a proud milestone for the Gun Lake Tribe, our team members, and the supporters in this community who played an integral role in Gun Lake Casino becoming a reality. In a statement in the press release, Tribal Chairman Peters said…

In February this year, the Gun Lake Tribe announced the ten-year anniversary of the casino that opened to the public on February 10, 2011, and that to date, has invested $415 million into the Wyland casino, and in total, has generated $2.8 billion to the Great Lakes State’s economy in the last 10 years.

One of multiple expansions since opening in 2011, the current build-on includes a 76,000-square-foot addition to the casino, which will bring it to 228,000 square feet, with an additional 450 slot machines, 12 new table games, a larger non-smoking area, and increased capacity to the area known as Stage 131 and additional upscale dining options. Work on the new project will reportedly begin upon completion of a $100 million expansion announced in October 2019, which is expected to open at the end of 2021.

This will provide even more employment opportunities and enhance Gun Lake Casino’s position as a tourism driver for western Michigan.” “The tribe remains steadfastly committed to reinvest in our collective future, for the benefit of tribal citizens, team members and the local community. “We are proud of the continued growth of Gun Lake Casino which is directly connected to the outstanding effort of our team members,” Gun Lake Tribe Chairman Bob Peters said in a statement, as reported by Fox 17. In the evening, the area will become “the ultimate nightlife scene,” featuring DJs, live music and dancing, according to the announcement on the casino’s Facebook page. The details of the project as reported by local news agencies include a 4-diamond hotel with 250 luxury suites and rooms, a full-service spa, and an all-new, three-meal restaurant.Īlso included in the expansion is what the tribe says will be “ the area’s first fully enclosed glass-domed pool and nightlife entertainment space.” To be open year-round, the addition(s) will allow guests to enjoy a pool, hot tub, and private cabanas which are available to reserve during the day. The federally recognized Michigan tribe’s plans include the addition of 250,000 square feet, which will see the property extended west toward U.S. Betting on sports futures, props and lay bets.
