At Gun Lake Casino, interior renovations are about to take place. They will include a high-limit table games room, a new Lucky Dragon noodle restaurant, and the Crossroads Casino bar and lounge. The construction is expected to begin in spring and will be ready by the end of the year. This interior renovation will contribute to the existing amenities.
$10 million interior renovation at Gun Lake
In 2011, Gun Lake Casino first opened its doors in Wayland, which is along U.S. 131 and halfway between Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo. Since then, the retail casino has demonstrated a commitment to improving the player experience.
The tribe that owns the casino constantly seeks ways to improve the quality of life in the community it serves. This is why it is so proactive and innovative in its approach. Players at the land-based casinos have access to 2,300 slot machines and over 50 table games. The tribe’s commitment is evident in many areas, including in Michigan online gambling industry, where it holds the Play Gun Lake brand. Gun Lake Casino has a reputation for being one of the best entertainment venues in the state.
More amenities
The significant investment in amenities comes before the completion of the major hotel resort expansion already taking place. The new restaurant will offer authentic noodles and Asian cuisine. This fits with the dining trends in 2024, such as making more use of Asian ingredients. The game room with high-limit tables in the new central bar will also expand the current amenities.
Current amenities at Gun Lake Casino include the Shkodé Chophouse, which offers a contemporary take on American cuisine. CBK offers a variety of high-quality drinks and food. It has over a hundred different brews and unique cocktails. The current 131 Sports Bar and Lounge has plenty of space and hosts live events. The Harvest Buffet features food using fresh ingredients cooked to order.
Other expansion
A significant construction project is underway at the Gun Lake Casino. This is an expansion that will cost $300 million, and it is expected to open in 2025. Guests can book into the 252-room hotel and experience great dining options and a full-service spa. There will also be a banquet hall and a concert venue.
The expansion will feature multiple swimming pools inside a 32,000-square-foot glass atrium. This is likely to transform the casino into the entertainment destination of the Midwest. It will be fun for couples to reserve private cabanas and enjoy all the amenities, including dancing to live music at night.
Preparations will start immediately
Preparations for the interior renovations will start soon. Some table games and the Grab & Go venue will be relocated temporarily. The gaming floor will remain open while the renovations happen. The announcement of the new interior renovations came just days before the 13th anniversary of the opening of Gun Lake Casino in a former factory.
