Groundbreaking for CasinOmaha Expansion
February 12, 2008

SOUIX CITY, IA - The Omaha Tribe of Nebraska held a formal groundbreaking last week for the expansion of their CasinOmaha located 40 miles south of Sioux City in Onawa, Iowa. The tribe hopes the $3.2 million project will provide more jobs and major revenue for its people.

Lean Spears, the operations manager, said the expansion will keep the casino competitive with casinos in Omaha and the WinnaVegas Casino in Sloan. "We can't just sit in the cornfield and think they're going to find us. Obviously, the major factor was to create revenue for the tribe and to create employment opportunities for our tribal members."

The expansion will be completed in two phases.

PHASE I

A new 27,000-square-foot will be built to add more casino space and a bingo hall/entertainment center. Completion is scheduled for July.

PHASE II

A 5-story hotel will be added with a water park and a golf course. Its schedule has not be set.
