The Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort is a Casino, Hotel, and Entertainment venue located near Mount Pleasant, Michigan. It is owned and operated by the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Nation.
Soaring Eagle offers a typical selection of pit and table games such as blackjack, roulette, craps, three card poker, and Let It Ride. In addition to slot machines in the main casino, an additional gaming hall called the 'Slot Palace' is located across the street and offers Bingo, Keno, and additional slot machines.
The casino also includes an 18-table poker room, which features games such as Texas hold 'em, seven-card stud, and Omaha hi-low. The poker room also features a bad beat jackpot and weekly Texas hold 'em tournaments.
The resort includes four restaurants, a pool with an underwater sound system, a full-service spa, an arcade, a day care, concert hall and amphitheater.
In August 2017 a series of renovations were approved by the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Council. The plans include incorporating a new sports bar and night club near the gaming floor, updating the Entertainment Hall, enclosing the non-smoking area, re-designing the Kid's Quest and Cyber Quest areas, a new high-limit and VIP lounge area, a relocated poker room and re-branding of the current sub shop.[4]
MT. PLEASANT, Mich - The Soaring Eagle Casino in Mt. Pleasant reports on its Facebook page they will remain open despite Governor Gretchen Whitmer announcing new COVID-19 restriction from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
The MDHHS order says that casino's must close for the next three weeks beginning Wednesday.
Gaming at tribal casinos does not fall under state regulation according to the Michigan Gaming Control Board per an article in the Detroit News.
The casino released the following statement on its Facebook page:
In March, 2020 Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort, Saganing Eagles Landing Casino & Hotel and The Slot Palace & Bingo Hall voluntarily closed for an initial two-week period following Governor Whitmer’s “Stay Home, Stay Safe” Order. Thereafter, the casinos voluntarily remained closed for an extended period, consistent with the Governor’s follow-on Orders until May 28, 2020, reopening at a time many other casinos across the country were reopening
During the casino closures, the casino management team spent time learning about the Coronavirus and implementing a Health and Sanitation Plan to responsibly reopen. This Plan includes the requirement that all guests and team members wear masks, something now known to be the single most significant safety measure. The casinos hired “Clean Teams” dedicated to the continuous cleaning of slot machines and other high touch surfaces. Every other slot machine has been turned off to achieve social distancing with social distancing markers installed in appropriate places throughout the facility. Acrylic dividers have been installed at close interaction areas, including at all table games. Additional hand sanitation stations and sanitation wipe stations have been installed. All guests and team members have temperature checks before entering the casinos.
Today, we have a track record of success. Our experience with Coronavirus transmission has been that the safety protocols are effective, particularly the requirement that all team members and guests wear masks. Contact tracing indicates that Coronavirus transmission typically occurs outside of the casino environment where masks may not have been worn and other protocols may not have been followed
For these reasons, we have decided to keep our gaming facilities open under our stringent Health and Sanitation Plan. We do not believe that closing the Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort, Saganing Eagles Landing Casino & Hotel and The Slot Palace & Bingo Hall will reduce the spread of the Coronavirus. Should new information emerge that indicates otherwise, we will revisit this decision. We will continue to review protocols in all areas of our operation and make adjustments as deemed appropriate.
