The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes of Idaho are moving forward with a long-awaited $35 million casino expansion project. According to news reports, the project will connect the Fort Hall Casino to the adjacent Shoshone-Bannock Hotel and Event Center. The expansion consists of a 72,984 square-foot structure that will include a bingo hall, new food and beverage venues and support facilities. The project has been in the works for a few years but the tribe suffered a setback when the architect abruptly quit late last year. But it's back on track and a groundbreaking ceremony will take place October 17, according to news reports. Read More on the Story:
