Leaders from the Gun Lake tribe and casino will hold a groundbreaking ceremony Thursday for the Phase 5 expansion. The estimated $300 million project includes building a 15-story, 252-room hotel on the west side of the casino. The expansion will also feature the Aquadome, which will be three pools inside a 32,000-square-foot glass dome.

Tuesday’s announcement comes exactly eight months after Gun Lake Casino celebrated the grand opening of its Phase 4 expansion, a $100 million project that included more casino floor, 500 slot machines, more than a dozen table games and three restaurants: CBK, Shkode Chophouse and 131 Sportsbar and Lounge.
