“The Golden Moon renovation utilizes design and technology to create an unparalleled entertainment, gaming, and lodging experience for our guests,” Holly Gagnon, the president and CEO of Pearl River Resort, said in a press release. “The efforts to enhance Golden Moon will benefit our guests, our employees, the community, and the tribe.”
