Wisconsin's Potawatomi Casino Hotel reveals extensive renovation project, completion scheduled for 2024

Milwaukee's Potawatomi Casino Hotel has unveiled its latest series of renovations, offering the public a glimpse of what's to come. These updates encompass the addition of two new gaming areas, a fresh bar and restaurant, and the installation of 300 new slot machines situated on the second level.

The expansion project, spanning 114,000 square feet, was launched in May 2022 and is scheduled for completion in 2024, with the grand opening of the property's sportsbook. Construction of the sports betting area began early this year.

“It is our priority to bring our guests the next level of gaming, and do so in an inviting and entertaining atmosphere," said Dominic Ortiz, CEO and General Manager of Potawatomi Casino Hotel.

“Milwaukee has been receiving so much exciting attention and we want to make sure we are viewed as a premier entertainment destination, not just for those in the immediate area, but for people traveling to the city for business or a getaway"

James Crawford, Forest County Potawatomi Chairman, expressed gratitude for the collaborative efforts that brought this project to fruition. "We have partnered with some of the most amazing designers and contractors, such as Greenfire Management Services who have been at our side throughout this entire project."

He acknowledged: "I want to personally thank our internal staff for all of their hard and ambitious work, and to our guests for their patience and trust that we were going to deliver an amazing entertainment experience for them."

The casino's new gaming area, ElevenHundred, stands as a major addition, boasting a lineup of 633 slot machines and 16 gaming tables. These tables comprise 12 blackjack, two roulette, and two craps tables, offering a diverse selection of games.

Additionally, visitors to ElevenHundred Bar & Lounge, with seating for 78 guests, can savor their gaming experience from "slot seats" at the granite bar, surrounded by LED lighting.

Street Eatz

Street Eatz, a novel bar and restaurant, showcases New York graffiti-inspired décor. The menu features Milwaukee's beloved classics, including barbecue, brats, and street tacos. To complement these offerings, a "bar truck" is on hand, serving an array of cocktails and a variety of beers.

For its part, the newly introduced Atrium gaming area houses 78 state-of-the-art slot machines, including the popular Buffalo Lightning Link. 

The exclusive 1833 Club, catering to VIP guests, opened its doors on September 1st. This exclusive venue boasts a full-exhibition kitchen with celebrity chefs making guest appearances, opulent custom-designed sofas, a bar stocked with liquors, and a gaming lounge equipped with 89 slot machines and four high-limit blackjack tables.

Cream City Coffee Co.

In August, the casino celebrated the grand opening of Rock & Brews, a collaborative endeavor with the legendary rock band KISS. Remarkably, this spot has risen to become the most favored among the 23 Rock & Brews locations.

Furthermore, Potawatomi Casino Hotel introduces Cream City Coffee Co., a spacious 2,099-square-foot space offering Colectivo coffee, specialty drinks, and coffee cocktails. All pastries and sandwiches served in this establishment are crafted in-house.
