SANTE FE, NM - The Pueblo of Pojoaque and Hilton Hotels have
moved up the opening date for the new Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino to August
12th.
Richard Ross, director of sales and marketing for Hilton Santa Fe Golf Resort &
Spa at Buffalo Thunder, said "Originally, the resort was scheduled to open in
November of this year and through the grace of a great contractor and building
crew -- we were actually able to accelerate the date of the opening into August,
which is very unusual, but something we're very proud of," Ross said.
He continued, "The pueblo and Hilton have partnered in a multiyear sponsorship
with the Santa Fe Indian Market, which is the largest tourist event that takes
place in Santa Fe on the calendar year. The Indian Market takes place in the
latter stages of August, so our opening ties very nicely to our ability to
support travelers and vendors and artists that are coming to Santa Fe for the
annual Indian Market this year.
"We will kind of open quietly for a month. And then our grand opening
celebrations are scheduled for the week of Labor Day. The key date in that is
the third of September, and that's when we'll actually have our ceremonial
ribbon and festivities that support the ribbon-cutting event."

The resort will showcase nearly 200 pieces of Native American artwork from
pueblos throughout New Mexico. Pojoaque Gov. George Rivera said the artwork and
a native theme is very important for the resort. "We very much wanted the
identity of the pueblo people in this resort because that's who we are. We
didn't need to bring in any other theme or re-do somebody else's culture. We
have a very rich, thriving culture here. -- We had people, both artists and
cultural consultants, to draw from here."
