US.- A groundbreaking ceremony was held for the construction of a hotel at Sky River Casino in California. The event showcased renderings and historical milestones from Wilton Rancheria and Sky River Casino’s history. Attendees included Wilton Rancheria leadership and citizens, Sky River Casino executives, and regional dignitaries.

The project includes a 300-room hotel adjacent to a ground-level glass atrium, featuring a spa, outdoor pool, event space, high-limit gaming area, and expanded dining and beverage options.

In March, Sky River Casino opened its expanded 20,000-square-foot gaming floor, now boasting 312 new slot machines—bringing the total to 2,500. The facility also offers 81 table games and 18 restaurants, bars, and lounges. Built through a partnership between Wilton Rancheria and Boyd Gaming Corporation, which manages the property.

Michael J. Facenda, president and general manager of Sky River Casino, stated: “Every element of this hotel is being designed with intention. This next phase focuses on hospitality that delivers an upscale, vibrant, and international experience, engaging all the senses. Upon completion, the hotel will generate new jobs and create employment opportunities that advance the community.

Jesus Tarango, chair of Wilton Rancheria, remarked: “Before breaking ground on Sky River, we made a commitment to our Tribal citizens, the local community, and future generations. Today, we reaffirm that promise and go beyond it. Because we are not merely developers pursuing opportunity, but a tribe reclaiming what belongs to us and building something that will provide, sustain, and uplift the entire region for years to come.”
