Winnebago Tribe breaks ground on expansion of casino in Iowa


The Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska broke ground on a $16 million expansion of its casino in Iowa.

The tribe is adding a 78-room hotel to WinnaVegas. Construction is expected to finish by November 2011.

"I think this hotel is going to make WinnaVegas a one stop resort, you know, it's going to be all inclusive, you can come out here, you can gamble, you can have a nice meal, and you can stay the night if you like," Jonnathan Audiss, a construction manager representative for the casino, told KMEG-TV.

The tribe recently spent $3 million to spruce up the casino, which is housed in an 18-year-old building.
