Grand Reopening event marks the end of more than one year of renovations
at Swinomish Casino & Lodge and the start of an entirely new experience
for guests. To celebrate, the casino is hosting drawings all weekend long
on May 11-13, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., giving away more than $10,000 in
cash and prizes each day during the event. The Grand Reopening will showcase
various live music acts on May 11 and 12. Hell’s Belles, a renowned all-female
AC/DC tribute band, will headline the weekend performances, with a complimentary
show on May 12 at 8:00 p.m. In addition to the Grand Reopening festivities,
Swinomish Casino & Lodge will be celebrating Mother’s Day by hosting
drawings and selecting one lucky winner to sail away on a cruise with a
Play to Getaway promotion, worth $2,500.
The weekend before the Grand Reopening, Swinomish Casino & Lodge will host live music on Friday and Saturday and Hot Seat drawings from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. each day. The drawings will be for a total of $6,000 in casino promo play on May 4 and 5. On Sunday, they will host 10 separate drawings to win up to $500 in casino slot play. Miller Campbell, a Seattle-based musician who has taken the country music scene by storm, will perform on May 4 at 9 p.m. To celebrate Cinco de Mayo, on Saturday, May 5, the casino will offer specialty margaritas for purchase and complimentary house-fried chips and fresh salsa from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. A mariachi band will serenade the festivities that day as well. “The Grand Reopening marks the exciting end of renovations at Swinomish Casino & Lodge,” said Jay Ellenberger, general manager at Swinomish Casino & Lodge. “Our entire team put in countless hours to make this project successful, we are so excited to finally show everyone our beautifully updated facility.” The renovations have added more than 14,000 square feet of new space to the property. Some of the newest features include a remodeled Player’s Club, cash cage, keno area and restrooms, 140 new speakers and 17 video walls featuring four 55-inch monitors each, and a larger, upgraded non-smoking area. One of the key improvements is an upgraded HVAC system, which will dramatically improve the air quality for guests. The new system allows 10 to 12 air exchanges per hour that will introduce fresh air into the facility. The five new air units will serve the gaming floor, food court and Lodge, elevating the level of comfort and eliminating fan noise. Other major additions to Swinomish Casino & Lodge include adding three new food and beverage outlets, as well as renovating the property’s sports bar. The Swinomish Sports Bar & Grill, formerly called 10 Sports Bar, is currently being remodeled and will be completed by June. Additions include a new food court, which added Manchu WOK and Fatburger franchises inside Swinomish Casino & Lodge. In addition, the newly built Center Bar is now a focal point on the new gaming floor, with 360 degree seating. The upscale bar features signature cocktails, local and craft beers on tap, and six 55-inch monitors, viewable from all seats. Carver’s Café is a new 24/7 restaurant that offers classic American cuisine and features historical photos from the Swinomish Tribal Archive and hand-carved décor made by Swinomish tribal members. The renovation has created more than 60 jobs at Swinomish Casino & Lodge. The property held a career fair in October of 2017 to hire team members for the new restaurants. Renovations started in September of 2016 with the collaboration of Swinerton Builders and Bergman Walls & Associates.
