Buena Vista Rancheria Casino Opening

An announcement was made today that an agreement has been made between the Buena Vista Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians of California and Caesars Entertainment Corporation to build a casino in Northern California. The casino will be under the Harrah's brand.

The Buena Vista Gaming Authority is an entity of the Buena Vista tribe and will oversee the tribal gaming operations. The tribe will be the owner of the casino. Casino consulting services and licensing of the brand will be provided by Caesars Entertainment. When opened, Caesars will also manage, maintain, and operate the casino property.

The facility will be developed 32 miles east of Sacramento on the tribe's reservation in Amador County. The reservation is 67.5 acres. It will be named Harrah's Northern California Casino. There will be 20 table games and 950 slot machines. Dining options will include three fast food selections and a full service restaurant.

In July of 2009 the tribe voted to create The Buena Vista Gaming Authority. The purpose was to form an unincorporated government entity of the tribe to manage and develop their gaming industry. The tribal council oversees the authority and appoints the independent board of directors.

In 2016 a gaming compact was agreed upon between the tribe and the state of California. In that agreement, $8 million will be paid from the casino each year to the state in exchange for gaming rights.

Harrah's Northern California Casino is expected to be completed by next year in 2019 at a cost of $168 million.
