Graton tribal officials threw open the doors of a spectacular new hotel to marry up with the Casino in Rohnert Park… marking the public debut of the $175 million project.
Greg Saris, Tribal Chief for the Graton Rancheria, joined with officials for a ribbon-cutting. Reporters were then allowed to tour the spa, and the ballroom that can seat over 1,000 people plus more. The 200-room hotel is designed to become a destination spot that will compete with other high-end locations in Napa and Sonoma.
Sarris, said he was happy to see the expansion become reality but acknowledged the long and sometimes difficult road. The resort, owned by the Graton Rancheria and managed by Las Vegas-based Station Casinos, already featured a casino with more than 130 table games, 3,000 slot and video poker machines, live poker, and a range of restaurants and bars.
