By Mark Glover, Sacramento Bee
Thunder Valley Casino Resort on Friday showed off $56 million in upgrades and additions to its hotel and casino, a massive effort to retain long-time visitors, attract high rollers from all corners of the nation and get a leg up on future competition.
On Friday, resort officials took media members on a hard-hat tour of the ongoing construction efforts in the casino area. That included a new 25,000-square-foot, smoke-free poker room and bingo hall, plus a planned expansion of the current poker room to new a high-limit slots area.
Officials also confirmed completion of the previously announced effort to finish three floors of its 17-story hotel, adding 111 rooms to the property.
California Indian casinos have long had an impact on Tahoe and Reno establishments.
