Omaha Tribe celebrates reopening of gaming facility in Iowa
The Omaha Tribe of Nebraska reopened its gaming facility in Iowa on Saturday.
The Blackbird Bend Casino replaces the CasinOmaha, which closed due to flooding on the Missouri River in June 2011. "It feels good to see our doors open and a lot of our customers coming back," employee Arlena Stabler told KCAU-TV.
The new casino is located in a temporary building. The tribe is still building a permanent home for the Blackbird Bend.
The casino employs 150 people, most of whom are tribal members.
