The Wilton Rancheria on July 18 announced that that it will open its Sky River Casino in Elk Grove in early September, a couple of months earlier than expected.

This $500 million project is located near Kammerer Road and Highway 99 on the former site of the “Ghost Mall” – Elk Grove’s longtime partially built outlet mall, which was demolished in 2019, after 11 years of construction inactivity.

The recent announcement of the casino opening marked a change to the tribe’s early timeline for the opening of the facility. Last December, Wilton Rancheria Tribal Chairman Jesus Tarango told the Herald that the casino was planning to open its doors this October.
