The
Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe broke ground at the site of a replacement casino in Minnesota.
The tribe is moving the
Palace Casino and Hotel
to a different location in Cass Lake that sees more traffic. According to news reports, plans include a hotel with 100 rooms, 650 slot machines, four blackjack tables, a food court, brew pub, a restaurant and bar, plus a 250-seat event center, fitness center, gift shop and arcade.
The project is expected to cost between $40 million and $50 million. Financing was secured thanks to the
Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community.
The casino is slated to open in the summer of 2019.
