Potawatomi’s hotel exceeds expectations in first year
A casino without a hotel is like a brat without a bun, said Ryan Amundson, external communications manager for Potawatomi Hotel & Casino.
After nearly 25 years of existence as a bingo hall and casino, Potawatomi finally built a hotel, and it is now gearing up to celebrate the hotel's one-year anniversary on Aug. 18.
The hotel has been well received, said hotel director Hassan Abdel-Moneim.
“This was the largest casino in probably the country that didn't have a hotel,” he said. “Our customers just flooded us…It gives customers with an hour, hour-and-a-half drive away the option to stay so they don't feel rushed.”
