The Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians in Wisconsin has secured a $23.5 million loan to build a new casino.
The Isle Vista Casino and Hotel will be located on the shores of Lake Superior. It will feature 300 slot machines, eight table games, a 60-seat bar and restaurant, a 24-seat snack bar, a 50-room hotel with a swimming pool, and an entertainment and conference center with a banquet capacity of 300 seats.
The facility replaces a smaller gaming hall on the reservation. Construction is expected to start later this summer or in early fall.
The Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota Community of Minnesota provided the financing for the project.
