General Manager Steve Neely said the expansion will increase the gaming area by 40 percent, bring in two new restaurants, redesign and expand conference facilities and give the entire casino a face lift. “It will provide more opportunities for our community and for us in the tribe to give back to the community.” “We were looking for a general manager with knowledge of expanding casinos,” Alejandre said during an interview Thursday. Tribal Chairman Andrew “Dru” Alejandre said the idea for the expansion goes back to the change in tribal leadership that took place in 2014, and management staff was hired with growth in mind.
