Oglala Sioux Tribe opens big casino complex

The Oglala Sioux Tribe of South Dakota is hoping to lure more people to its new Prairie Wind Casino.

The 47,000-square-foot casino has been open for more than a month. It replaces a tent-like structure that had been used since 1998.

The casino isn't all that's new. The tribe will open a 35,000-square-foot hotel and convention center in the coming weeks.

“We finally got a permanent home, and it’s a permanent home we can be proud of,” Lupe Hudspeth, the casino's marketing manager, told The Rapid City Journal.
