The Hannahville Indian Community tribal council recently approved a $30 million expansion project at its Island Resort and Casino in Harris, Michigan. Construction is scheduled to begin in June and be completed in 2021.
The project will include a new 11-story, 140-room addition, connecting to the existing 300-room Palm Tower. General Manager Tony Mancilla said, “We have a high demand. We sold out 95 percent of our rooms every day of the summer, and on the weekends we have waiting lists anywhere up to 200 people, so we have a high demand for the rooms.”
The top floor of the new tower will feature a high-end restaurant and convention space. The project also will include a swimming pool and water park.
The 408,520-square-foot casino offers slots and table games and a poker room plus bingo. The resort also includes the Drift Spa with access to a saltwater pool. Dining options include the 5 Bridges Steak and Seafood House, 5 Bridges Pub, Firekeeper’s Restaurant, T.McC’s Sports Bar, Coral Reef Grille, Signature Subs & Pizza, Coffee & Bakery Shop and the Custard Shop.
The Island 1,315-seat showroom offers headline entertainment and bands and comedy entertainers perform in Club 41. The resort also features the Sweetgrass and Sage Run golf course and a 42-site RV park.
