twitter$7.9 million resort opens
Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2005 | 9:32 a.m.
WATERTOWN, S.D. -- The Sisseton-Wahpeton Tribe has opened a new $7.9 million casino hotel north of Watertown.
The Dakota Sioux Casino hotel's lobby features a hand-crafted chandelier and a seven-point stone star carved into the floor. The star represents the seven districts of the tribe, as well as "the Indian belief of where we come from," said Scott German, the tribe's vice chairman.
The 54,000-square-foot hotel has 92 rooms, two of which are large suites about the size of four regular rooms. It also has seven standard suites about 1 1/2-times the size of a regular room.
"The suites all have Jacuzzis and a kitchenette and the large suites also have a large entertainment room and a wet bar," said project manager Matt Vineyard, with general contractor J.E. Dunn.
The hotel is the first phase of a five-year expansion at the casino. The renovation plan includes an expansion of the casino gaming area which could start as soon as next month, a water park, a bowling alley and a 1,500-seat indoor concert facility.
