The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe is pleased to announce the ground-breaking ceremony for the expansion of Saganing Eagles Landing Casino. Planned expansion will include the addition of a new five story hotel with 148 guest rooms and a hospitality suite, a full-service restaurant, additional square footage for retail space and an increased gaming floor with accommodations for up to 400 additional slot machines.

The ground-breaking ceremony is scheduled for Friday, June 30, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. at Saganing Eagles Landing Casino just west of the existing Casino entrance. Please join us for an opportunity to hear about the planning and vision of the project with updates of phase one construction from the General Contractor, Spence Brothers. JCJ Architecture and Rowe Engineering will also be on-site and will provide insight and renderings of the project. The estimated completion timeline for the expansion is approximately 18 months with a grand opening slated for early 2019.

Chief Frank Cloutier mentions, “This expansion further solidifies our presence in our aboriginal territory and shows our commitment to the community and economic growth for the region.  I am very proud of our abilities and our staff for all that they do to make the Saganing Eagles Landing one of the most preferred places to visit.  Chi Miigwetch (Thank You) to all of our patrons for your visits and soon to be your play and stay experience. There are so many possibilities for a brighter future and with continued collaboration we will look forward to enjoying them together”.
