The Augustine Casino will close on September 19. When it reopens about a month later, guests will be able to enjoy and entirely an improved facility with entirely new paint, carpet, wall-covering, lighting, signage and more, the tribe said. Exterior work has already begun.

"Rest assured, when we reopen, we will continue to operate in our 14-year tradition — offering locals the very best value on the loosest slots around, a great dining experience and the friendliest team in the valley," Jef Bauer said in a press release. "I promise we’ll hurry and, soon, it will all be available in a brand new beautiful casino environment."

The casino opened in 2002.
