First Phase of Meskwaki Casinos Expansion Plans Completed

The Meskwaki Bingo Casino Hotel, situated in Tama, just recently cut the ribbon signaling the opening of its new $111 million dollars building expansion.

Guests during the opening where pleasantly greeted by the sight of a waterfalls and fire raising from the pits as they walked through the newly refurbished and expanded gambling establishment that welcomes almost 5,000 visitors each day, as it been doing for almost 14 years now.

One of the guests, Peggy Ashby of Cedar Rapids, exclaimed that they have done wonderfully with the expansion of the place and it is just simply gorgeous.

The enlarged Meskwaki Bingo Casino Hotel has a brand new casino, a high-stakes bingo hall and a new nine-story, 200 room building, that are just part of the first phase of Meswaki Casino's planned expansion.

It is a big gamble in the part of the Meskwaki officials as it is considered as one of the most costly and expensive renovation that have been done in any gambling complex all over Iowa.

Meskwaki Bingo Casino Hotel General Manager, Dan Stromer said that one of their main aims is to be the number one gaming destination throughout the whole Midwest. They are planning on adding a new hotel spa, an enlarge pool area, an entertainment complex and restaurants, golf course, hiking trails and even a waterpark to accomplished that goal.

General Manager Stromer added that they want to offer their customers not only gambling choices but also a variety of entertainment choices and amenities that they can enjoy with their loved ones and not only by themselves.

"It's not always about more slot machines and more tables, but it's entertainment choices and amenities and that has as much to do with it as anything," Stromer said.
