Madras,
OR – August 2025 / NewsmakerAlert: Plateau
Travel Plaza, owned and operated by the Confederated
Tribes of Warm Springs and Warm Springs Casino Enterprises (WSCE),
is embarking on an exciting expansion and renovation project designed to
bring guests even more of what they’ve been asking for.
The
project will feature an updated and significantly expanded gaming room
— doubling the size of the current slot machine area — with new state-of-the-art
machines. All slot play at Plateau Travel Plaza will remain part of Indian
Head Casino’s player rewards program, allowing guests to earn and redeem
rewards seamlessly between both properties.
Guests
can also look forward to new fresh food options for both grab-and-go and
sit-down dining, as well as upgrades to the Plaza’s store, including a
brand-new coffee station, ice cream offerings, and double the current beverage
selection.

“Our
guests have been telling us what they want, and we’ve been listening,”
said Shawn
McDaniel, General Manager of Plateau Travel Plaza and Indian
Head Casino. “This expansion is about delivering on those requests
— more gaming, more dining, and more convenience — all in a space that
reflects the pride and hospitality of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs.
We’re excited to bring these upgrades to life while still providing the
same great service our customers count on every day.”
Construction
is scheduled to begin the week of August 25-29, 2025. While work is underway,
Plateau Travel Plaza will keep fuel lanes open, along with all trucker
amenities including showers, laundry, and fuel discounts.
The
expansion represents a major investment in the community and is expected
to create hundreds of jobs during construction and 20 more permanent positions
in addition to those at Plateau Travel Plaza. The project is being led
by Kirby construction company and KMB
architects.
Plateau
Travel Plaza opened in 2018 and has served as a key economic driver
for the Confederated Tribes of Warm
Springs. This latest investment reflects WSCE’s ongoing commitment
to providing exceptional service and amenities for travelers, truckers,
and the local community.
