Winnebago Tribe expects road to casino to reopen after flood


The road to the casino owned by the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska should be open by Wednesday.

The tribe shut down the WinnaVegas Casino in June due to flooding along the Missouri River. It reopened last month after the tribe bought two amphibious vehicles to ferry patrons across the water.

But now that the road has dried up, it's ready for patrons again. "Obviously we've been down a little bit, because of the fact that people have to ride shuttles in, so once they start bringing in their own cars, I think we're going to get back to where we were before, and I think we're going to do great," construction manager Jonnathan Audiss told KMEG-TV.

The casino is located on the Iowa portion of the reservation.
