The new, nearly complete $325 million Chicken Ranch Casino, Resort and Conference Center will begin welcoming guests in July, the Chicken Ranch Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians of California announced at 10 a.m. Wednesday.

The new casino resort, about 2 miles southwest of downtown Jamestown, will be nine stories tall with a larger casino, new restaurants and bars, a 197-room hotel, fitness center and rooftop pool, plus a conference center, gift shop and a tribal cultural center.

Chicken Ranch tribal leaders and casino managers say the resort will start welcoming guests on July 15, with a soft opening that will include the nine-story resort, a five-story hotel and an expanded gaming floor.
