Major renovations are complete at the Ojibwa Casino in Baraga.
The Keweenaw Bay Indian Community held a ribbon cutting Saturday as part of the facility’s grand reopening.
The focus for the renovations has been a combination of aesthetics, economic improvements, and a more user–friendly atmosphere.
One improvement was the installation of a state–of–the–art ventilation system to help provide cleaner air throughout the casino.
“We’ve updated the interior of the casino,” says Larry Denomie, general manager of the casino. “We actually redid the entire restaurant space, the Lucky Sevens Restaurant. We’re actually going to be working on the press box here, as well as updating our hotel rooms over the next several months. So the casino part is done, but we’re still working on the other parts of the facility.”
The Ojibwa Casino originally opened in 1985 and started out as just a few blackjack tables in the corner of a bowling alley.
