Sky River Casino: Future Expansion Plans
February 28, 2023
The financial success of Sky River Casino has exceeded expectations since opening last August. Now Wilton Rancheria tribe and its partner, Boyd Gaming Corp., are looking ahead to possibly adding a hotel and convention center. The original development plan included a 302-room hotel and a convention center; however, both were dropped from the final construction plan due to escalating costs.
Sky River's chief operating officer and president, Chris Gibase, says now that the casino is open and generating revenue, Wilton Rancheria and Boyd Gaming Corp. can spend the next several months developing Sky River's plan for expansion. It will include a hotel, which may be larger than the original plan, a pool and spa, and entertainment venues.
"Entertainment, convention space, pool/spas, pretty much all of that is in play. It will be spectacular; I can promise you that.
"What you would normally see in any resort hotel, you'll see here on this site. It'll be as big or bigger than any of our competition."
- Chris Gibase, CEO and President
Gibase expects the expansion plans will be announced later this year. He gave no further details about expansion, but said "It's coming. It's a question of when."
