“We didn’t want to have just a casino - and, of course, the wonderful restaurants, and we love the casino - but we wanted a facility here in the Wine Country. “This completes, or is the icing on the cake, of what we’ve always wanted to be,” said Greg Sarris, chairman of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, which owns the resort.
In addition to providing guest accommodations, the expansion will also add a 20,000-square-foot multipurpose space, a luxurious pool, a spa and a fitness center to the nearly 3-year old casino. 15 opening and thousands of nights are already booked, hotel officials said. The $175 million project remains on track for a Nov. Graton Resort and Casino officials on Wednesday offered a sneak peek inside their 200-room hotel expansion, which will effectively transform the gambling palace on the edge of Rohnert Park into a full-fledged, Las Vegas-style resort complex when it debuts in about seven weeks.
