Opponents circulated a petition with thousands of signatures opposing the original casino and fought unsuccessfully in court to block that project. The proposed new highrise hotel, parking structure and event center are likely to raise concerns, however, among residents who previously voiced objections to the original casino due to traffic, noise, alcohol use by motorists, loss of views/rural character, and environmental concerns. (Disclosure, ECM held an awards dinner at The Rooftop in 2021.) The casino also features several restaurants. The casino's recently added venue, The Rooftop, has proven popular as a location to host events ranging from corporation dinners to weddings. The casino has created over 1,000 permanent jobs since opening six years ago if the new hotel and event center are built, they would provide many more employment opportunities and enhance economic prosperity of tribal members who once lived below the poverty level. The tribe also modified the design to utilize natural materials and tuck much of the casino behind an embankment to minimize its impacts.

The tribe originally proposed a high-rise casino before the current casino was built, but scaled back plans to a more modest height after objections from neighboring residents and County Supervisors. No expansion of the gaming floor or increase in the number of slot machines or table games is proposed.
