The Lac du Flambeau Chippewa Band of Wisconsin has bought a 155-foot casino boat in hopes of setting sail for Cancun, Mexico, columnists Cary Spivak and Dan Bice report.

It will cost $1.5 million, or possibly $2 million, to refurbish the boat and get it on the water, sources said. The boat has 225 slot machines, 13 blackjack tables and other games.

The tribe would need to get a license from the government of Mexico for a casino boat.
