Kewadin Casinos Unveils Massive Renovation for 40th Anniversary Milestone

Kewadin Casinos has launched a multi-million-pound extension project at its Sault Ste. Marie location, aiming to modernize the casino near me. The work marks the first major upgrade for the chain's original site since it opened. Owned by the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, the casino plays a key role in the local economy.

The renovation will take place in stages to avoid disrupting visitors. Exterior improvements are already underway, with interior upgrades set to finish by winter 2025—just in time for the casino's 40th anniversary.

Phase 1 of the project began in December, focusing on the building's exterior. New windows and modern materials will give the casino a fresh, contemporary look. Integrated Designs Inc. is handling the engineering and architecture, while Gundlach Champion manages construction.

Interior work starts in mid-2025, covering a full refurbishment of the 268-room hotel tower. Additional upgrades will also be made to guest rooms. Dana Schlehuber, General Manager of Kewadin Sault Ste. Marie, highlighted the excitement around modernising the hotel ahead of its milestone anniversary.

The Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians backs the project, as the casino remains a vital economic asset for the community. Once this location is complete, Kewadin officials plan to roll out similar renovations across their other sites.

Kewadin Casinos operates eight locations across Michigan, including Manistique, St. Ignace, Hessel, Christmas, Saginaw Chippewa, North Bay, Shanty Creek, and its flagship site in Sault Ste. Marie.

The renovation will bring modern updates to one of the region's largest casino chains. Exterior changes will wrap up this winter, while interior work concludes in late 2025. The project aligns with the casino's 40th anniversary and supports its ongoing role in the local economy.
