The Poarch Band of Creek Indians of Alabama says the first year of business at the Wind Creek Casino and Hotel has been good. "We have seen growth in our operations despite the downturn in the economy. I attribute our success to the team at Wind Creek," property manager Arthur Mothershed told The Brewton Standard. "Without their hard work and commitment to guest service it would not have been possible." The $245 million resort features a 57,000 square foot gaming floor with more than 1,600 electronic gaming machines, a 17-floor, 236-room hotel; four restaurants, a lounge and an outdoor amphitheater. The tribe expanded the facility with a cooking studio and a spa. “It’s been extremely exciting,” Mothershed told the paper. “It’s hard to believe that Wind Creek has been open a year already. I am very proud of the team at Wind Creek. Everyone has contributed to a very successful operation." Get the Story:
