Sky River Casino broke ground Monday on a new 300-room hotel, the latest expansion of Wilton Rancheria’s entertainment hub in Elk Grove.
The new hotel and resort will feature a salon and spa, a 30,000-square-foot event and entertainment space, a pool and a botanical atrium, according to Sky River Casino President Michael Facenda. It will also include more dining, including a restaurant, coffee shop and bar.
The hotel is expected to open in late 2027 or early 2028 and bring an estimated 300 to 400 jobs, Facenda said.
Tribal leaders said the groundbreaking marked more than a construction milestone. Wilton Rancheria Chairman Jesus Tarango said the ceremony recognized the tribe’s historic ties to the land where the project will be built.
