The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community of Minnesota broke ground a casino expansion project on Tuesday.

The Mystic Lake Casino Hotel is getting a nine-story hotel with 180 rooms and a 70,000-square-foot convention center. The addition will be known as Mystic Lake Center.

“The new hotel tower and Mystic Lake Center will meet a growing demand from our guests for additional accommodations and space for groups of all sizes,” Edward Stevenson, the president and CEO of the SMSC Gaming Enterprise, said in a press release. “The grand opening of the hotel tower and Mystic Lake Center could not be better timed, as we reflect on our mission to give our guests the best possible full-service entertainment experience in the Midwest.”

The tribe expects to complete work by the end of 2017.
