TOPPENISH, WA --(Marketwired - March 03, 2017) - Swinerton is pleased to announce the opening of the Yakama Legends Casino Hotel and Casino after a considerable expansion.

The full scope of work Swinerton is completing for the Yakama Nation consists of a site redevelopment, 200 new rooms and suites, casino gaming space additions, a refresh of the existing casino, restaurant upgrades, and a back-of-house expansion.

The hotel anchors a $90,000,000 expansion by the tribe that is expected to create 200 new jobs. The Yakama Nation Legends Casino first opened in 1998, and currently employs more than 700 people.
