Yesterday was a lucky day for me. This was my first outing after five years to an Indian Casino near me.
It had been almost 5 years that I have enjoyed dining and gambling at the Indian Casinos nearby. For the last 2 decades Macrine ( RIP) and I had budgeted to play and dine in either the Thunder Valley Casino ( Lincoln) or Red Hawk Casino ( Shingle Springs) twice a month as our entertainment.
Yesterday Yuka drove the 3 of us to Sky River. We stayed for 3 hours. We eat a moist and delicious turkey/bacon/avocado sandwiches. We gambled for 3 hours. The Chilan won $50 dollars. I won $66 dollars after playing in only 10 slot machines. I was tired but very happy. Yuka said we may do it again in April when the Chilan's returned to Equador.
Sky River was developed and built for the Wilton Rancheria Tribe. It
is located fifteen miles south of downtown Sacramento in Elk Grove. It had a grand opening last September.
Cleverly referred to as “Sac Vegas,” Sky River required years of planning and a reported $500 million to build.
A third of its 300,000 square feet is dedicated to gaming, according to the casino. That includes 2,000 slot machines, eighty table games, and a 12-table poker room.
The property also has plans for seventeen new restaurants and bars and, eventually, a spa and a hotel.
Sky River holds a special significance to local residents. Not only have 2,000 been hired as employees, the casino was built over a formerly abandoned mall complex. The property has been a blight on the landscape for years.
Among the new restaurants are:
- SR Prime Steakhouse — A steaks and seafood joint that offers a top-tier wine collection, whiskies and local craft beer.
- 32 Brews Street — Television-heavy sports bar serving appetizers, entrees, cocktails, spirits, draft beer and California wine.
- Dragon Beaux — Sit-down dining and menu featuring dim sum, Cantonese roast meats and traditional Chinese cooking.
- The Market at Sky River — The casino’s food hall with twelve restaurants, offering everything from hamburgers and spicy chicken to rotisserie meats and sushi.
