Pojoaque Pueblo in New Mexico brought out the showgirls, a modified Las Vegas sign and the Flying Elvi for the grand opening of its $275 million Buffalo Thunder
Resort & Casino on Wednesday.
The facility is the largest in the state. It features 61,000 square-feet of gaming space, 395-room Hilton hotel, a spa and pool, meeting and convention spaces and seven restaurants and entertainment venues.
"Today Pojoaque makes pottery, Pojoaque makes jewelry and Pojoaque makes money," Gov George Rivera said, according to news reports.
The facility held a soft opening last month.
