On Monday, the Gun Lake Tribe announced that Gun Lake Casino in Wayland is set to transform into a luxurious hotel resort following the successful completion of a $300 million expansion project.

Once the ongoing expansion project is finished, the development of designs for the 250-room resort in the Grand Rapids area will commence. Construction for the current expansion is scheduled for this summer, encompassing the addition of two new restaurants, improved entertainment facilities at Stage 131 sports lounge, and the establishment of a new high-limit gaming area.

The hotel will feature a complete spa and restaurant for guests to enjoy.

Gun Lake Tribe Chairman Bob Peters expressed his pride in the ongoing expansion of Gun Lake Casino, attributing its success to the remarkable dedication of our team members. He emphasized the Tribe’s unwavering commitment to reinvest in our shared future, for the betterment of tribal citizens, team members, and the local community.

“This will not only create additional job prospects but also strengthen Gun Lake Casino’s role as a prominent force in driving tourism in western Michigan.”

The property will undergo a construction that will result in an addition of about 250,000 square feet. This expansion will extend the property towards US Highway 131 and marks its most substantial growth since its establishment in 2011.

Pool during the day, live music space at night

The upcoming expansion of the Gun Lake Casino hotel will feature a stunning glass-domed pool and entertainment area. During the evenings, a lively atmosphere will be created with a mix of live music, DJ performances, and dancing.

“In the statement, Sal Semola, president and chief operating officer of Gun Lake Casino, expressed our dedication to upholding our position as a premier entertainment and gaming hub in Michigan. We understand the importance of our role as a significant establishment in Allegan County and acknowledge our capacity to contribute to the development of our local community.”

The advancement of our available amenities stimulates our economy by attracting tourists and has a direct effect on the well-being of local residents by creating new employment prospects.

No online sports betting yet for Gun Lake

In October, Gun Lake Casino introduced retail sports betting to its offerings. Although the property has not yet launched online products, it has formed a partnership with Parx Casino in Pennsylvania to do so. Currently, there are 12 active online sportsbooks in Michigan, and this year, Gun Lake Casino plans to launch its online platform along with two other partnerships.

According to the recent annual Indian Gaming report, the casino experienced a significant decline of 21.4% in slot machine revenue during the year 2020. Nevertheless, Gun Lake managed to generate a substantial $184.2 million from slots throughout the same period.

Gun Lake offering $20 free slot play for vaccinated

Until May 31, Gun Lake is offering $20 worth of complimentary slot machine play to customers who provide proof of completing their COVID-19 vaccination. The vaccination record card must display evidence of receiving two doses of either the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines, or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
