BATTLE CREEK, MI (WTVB) – Construction is underway on a new hotel tower at the FireKeepers Casino and Hotel in Emmett Township near Battle Creek.
Ground was broken on the project yesterday. The new tower will include a restaurant, a VIP lounge and 203 rooms. It should be finished by late 2020.
The casino opened in August 2009. The current hotel with 243 rooms began operations in December of 2012.
But there have been times it has been booked solid and its popularity is one of the reasons the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi decided to build a second hotel.
