Pojoaque Pueblo in New Mexico will open its new casino on August 12.
The $245 million Buffalo Thunder Resort features a casino, hotel and convention space. It's the tribe's second casino and third hotel.
Gov. George Rivera invited prominent Native artists to design works for the facility. Santa Clara potter Roxanne Swentzell, Acoma Pueblo potter Joseph Cerno and Navajo painter Tony Abeyta are among those represented.
“It's over $1 million just for the art objects,” Rivera told The Albuquerque Journal.
The two hotels at the resort are being managed by Hilton Hotels.
