Angel Xpansion
In November , the Stillaguamish Tribe of Washington State celebrated the grand opening of its $ 60 million expansion of its Angel of the Winds Casino , a project dubbed “ Xpansion ” by the casino .
The Xpansion debuted after almost two years of work . The project features new restaurants , an events center , two bars , a bowling alley , a remodeled gaming floor and a 575-space parking garage to the Angel of the Winds Casino .
“ Just under two years after breaking ground , our 2019 Xpansion is now complete ,” said a post on the casino ’ s social media . “ Thank you to everyone who helped make this Xceptional milestone possible !”
The Rivers Run Event Center functions as a concert venue and conference space at the casino . Rocker Bret Michaels of solo and Poison fame put on the first show there , which was a sellout , according to a social media post . The expansion added a total of 300,000 square feet to the property .
Groundbreaking
The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians of California broke ground in November on its new downtown Cathedral City casino .
In October , the tribe announced that the casino project had been greenlit , following federal approval allowing the land ’ s status to be changed from fee to tribal trust for gaming purposes .
“ We are excited to begin construction on this large-scale investment in Cathedral City ,” Tribal Chairman Jeff L . Grubbe said . “ This project will create jobs , revitalize an undeveloped downtown property and support Cathedral City ’ s economic development efforts .”
The 13.6-acre project will provide an entertainment attraction in the heart of downtown Cathedral City .
