Prairie Business Magazine: "The Casino Hook
Since the U.S. Congress made it possible for Indian gaming to be conducted on Indian lands, the birth of the gaming industry has practically exploded on the Northern Plains and across the country.
Connie Halgren, public relations and advertising specialist for Spirit Lake Casino & Resort, says their view of Devils Lake is an enticement for guests at the 124-room facility. Spirit Lake also offers a 500-seat auditorium and meeting rooms for small groups. Historic sites nearby and a full service marina lure in anglers and the casino's restaurant, 'The View' provides a delight for sunset fans as well as seasonal entrees that include pheasant, walleye, and buffalo.
Another casino that has an eye on business meetings is the Northern Lights Casino near Walker, MN, with a recent addition of a hotel and events center to go along with 105 guest rooms and the 'Dancing Fire' restaurant. Michael Michaud, marketing manager, says the facility is just beginning to focus on more business gatherings, an effort enhanced by being a 'destination within a destination' because of the nearby golf courses that provide packages with the casino.
Many other casinos on the Northern Plains are going after the conference and business markets with gourmet dining and new meeting facilities."
