Little River Casino’s gaming floor will be temporarily closed from Wednesday, May 17, until 3 p.m. on Thursday, May 18, to conduct rooftop HVAC replacements.

According to the website of the Manistee casino, the maintenance originally planned for early April involves the replacement of two large HVAC units on the roof. This is being done to ensure the ongoing comfort of our valued guests.

During that timeframe, both the gaming floor and the River Rock Sportsbook & Grill will be closed. However, the Rapids Bistro will remain open, along with the hotel. Guests with any inquiries are kindly requested to contact 888-568-2264.

Some Michigan casinos have reintroduced smoking sections to their gaming floors, and this is also the case for Little River Casino, which has designated smoking areas.
