The Tule River Tribe Gaming Authority has confirmed it will open its relocated Eagle Mountain Casino in California, near the Porterville Municipal Airport, on May 9.
The original venue, which is currently closed, opened its doors in 1990 but it had to be relocated due to flooding. The new Eagle Mountain Casino will offer over 1,700 slots and 20 table games, along with a 2,000-seat event centre, a hotel-convention centre, a 24-hour diner and a sports bar and grill.
The tribe spent $200m on Phase 1 of the relocation of the Eagle Mountain Casino to the new site approximately 17 miles from the current location.
"Tämä projekti osoittaa erityisesti Eagle Mountain Casinon kokemuksen vahvuuden ja matkailun palautumisen yleensä, kun selviämme pandemian jälkeen", sanoi Hillin johtaja, Native American Program Services Henry Corken. "Tiimillämme on todistettu historia intiaanipeliasiakkaiden projektien hallinnoinnista ympäri Yhdysvaltoja, ja tuomme parhaat käytäntömme Eagle Mountainille varmistaaksemme, että projekti on onnistunut."
Joe Baruffaldi, AIA, Principal for the project, said: “The new casino relocation to Porterville will offer a more centralised location for casino guests and will bring a bit of Tule River culture into the valley by keeping the feel of the Tule River heritage in the architecture and the gaming experience.”As designers, we find the research phase and immersion into our client’s culture and project vision fascinating; so, we were thrilled that the ownership team decided to integrate key elements of their tribal land, and their relationship with the land, into the property aesthetic. It becomes quite an important and unique differentiator. The tribe’s indigenous homeland is where the Great Sequoia grows. The Sequoia tree canopy, trunk and roots became main conceptual design elements that abstractly tie the story of culture and heritage to the aesthetic design of the casino property – from the arrival experience to the details within,” he added.
