The Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians (GTB) is scheduled to open a temporary location for its new casino next week. It will be the tribe’s third gambling facility in Michigan.
The GTB’s flagship property is Turtle Creek Casino & Lodge in Williamsburg, though the tribe’s first casino was Leelanau Sands Casino & Lodge in Peshawbestown. It also owns the non-gaming Grand Traverse Resort & Spa. The new Benzonia location should help the further development of the tribe. Details on the long-term plans remains sparse, but the tribe has committed to next Wednesday, Jan. 22 as the opening date for the temporary casino.
