'For what it will do just for tourism alone, it will be phenomenal. The aquadome will also feature three additional pools, a swim-up bar and live entertainment stage.Īll of it is estimated to create an estimated $650 million impact. The hotel and resort will feature a new restaurant, gift shop, full-service spa, a pool, hot tub and a business center and meeting space. It is a cliche but a must-see destination-type resort with that aquadome is going to be something very, very unique,' said Semola. The estimated $350 million project will transform the casino footprint to focus more on non-gaming amenities. There is no question about it,' said Gun Lake Casino Chief Executive Officer Salvatore Semola. 'This has been a long time coming, and it is going to be very significant for the area.
'Over the years, we’ve all heard or maybe even said it ourselves: When is Gun Lake going to build a hotel?' said Gun Lake Tribe Chairman Bob Peters. Just to the west of the casino, construction begun on phase five, which will include a 15-story, 252-room hotel and 32,000-square-foot aquadome.
That phase included three new restaurants and an expanded gaming floor space. It is their latest phase of construction, wrapping up their last phase only eight months ago.
Gun Lake Casino broke ground on a new hotel and resort on Thursday.
