We had not been to this particular casino for several months. We were really surprised to see how much was completed and what the big plans are all about. The picture on the left is of the current casino complex in early 2012. It does not reflect what is planned.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what we know so far. They are adding a 140 room hotel to the west of the casino. It will also house an expanded casino. When we talked to one of the security guards, he said that they decided to build the hotel because the Comfort Inn next door was charging too much for their rooms! Hopefully, he is right and rates will drop compared to the $100+ that the Comfort Inn currently charges. They are often full and can charge what they want. I suspect even with these additional rooms, both hotels will both be full. Rates will gradually creep up. What will be good is that the casino will now be able to award free rooms as part of their slot card comps which will be great for all casino players.<\/p>\n<h3>Other Changes<\/h3>\n<p>The second major change that we found out about is the current Native Harvest Buffet area is being totally redesigned. The buffet has been temporarily moved to the rapids area which had fast food. It is not a great place to have a buffet, but it is only temporary and the new buffet area will be much better. We had a glimpse of the new area and it will no doubt be the nicest buffet restaurant in a 100-mile radius.\u00a0 Better than even the casino buffet area at Lac Lemay in Gatineau. Now we only had a glimpse, but the decor is a huge improvement and will be a huge compliment to the Akwesasne Mohawk casino.<\/p>\n<h2>Akwesasne Mohawk Casino &#8211; Updates<\/h2>\n<p>The casino itself is being updated as well. We are not sure how this will change, but it will be for the better. The current casino has lot&#8217;s of great machines. However, it is getting to be a bit tired looking. We are anticipating a much more glitzy casino as a result. We can only hope for a large nonsmoking area. It would save them so much money in operating costs if they band it all together, but we really do not expect them to do that.<\/p>\n<p>The casino is currently in the tent area. It has been there for some time in addition to the main casino. We understand that the bingo palace is moving over to the tent, once the main casino in the hotel area is completed. This is a multistage multi-year project so it will be some time before this section is completed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gccihome.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/akwesasne-mohawk-casino-construction-e1512078949762.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-729\" title=\"akwesasne mohawk casino construction\" src=\"http:\/\/gccihome.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/akwesasne-mohawk-casino-construction-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a>All of these construction changes are moving this casino from being a 2nd rate casino location into a 1st rate casino-hotel complex. We did not hear anything about entertainment, however, I would not be surprised if they added a venue for entertainment as well. Lots of customers already come from Canada, from Cornwall, Ottawa, Montreal and surrounding areas. With the hotel added, customers will not only come for one day, they will stay for a couple of days at either the Akwesasne hotel or the Comfort Inn next door.<\/p>\n<h3>Comps Are Great<\/h3>\n<p>The picture on the left came from the site IndianTime.net. It was taken sometime in late May or June of 2012.\u00a0 The buffet is scheduled to open in late June 2012, while the hotel is scheduled for March 2013<\/p>\n<p>Right now we are receiving lots of comps in terms of free play, free buffets, and other free stuff. They are going through growing pains and construction pains so customers are being compensated for some of the disruption. We really enjoy the Akwesasne Mohawk casino and expect to like it even more once the construction is completed.<\/p>\n<p>Once the construction is completed we will post an update to this blog to give you our comments and opinions about the new venue. The buffet is to reopen in the new location during the month of July. We will add another post about the casino buffet at that time.
