The Blackfeet Nation of Montana said record crowds attended the opening weekend of the new Glacier Peaks Casino.
"It was phenomenal," casino manager Gary Green told The Great Falls Tribune.
The 30,000-square-foot casino is located near the entrance of the Glacier National Park. The $7 million facility features Class II and Class III machines.
The tribe held a big bash on Friday for the grand opening. One of the 10 Flying Elvis impersonators broke his pelvis after misjudging his skydiving landing.
