AKWESASNE -- Akwesasne Mohawk Casino announced the opening of the West Main Entrance, which will eventually become the gateway to the newly expanded Sticks Restaurant as well as the Gift Shop.

“The entrance is beautiful and we are extremely excited to show our new renovations to the community and our guests,” Frank Allen, a casino spokesman, said.

The construction phase has been ongoing for three months. It also included landscaping of the front of property and re-facing of the pillars under the porte-cochere.

In November, the casino will expand its game offerings as well as its center bar "Cascades."

The casino will also expand the hotel to include a pool and spa.

“It is truly an exciting time for the casino and the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe,” Allen said.

The casino is open 24 hours a day seven days a week.

The casino is located on Route 37 in the Hogansburg and features over 1,600 Vegas style slot machines, table games, valet and four eateries including the Native Harvest Buffet, Sticks Restaurant, Rapids Food Court and its newest addition, the Maple Room Steakhouse.

The Akwesasne Mohawk Casino also offers The Poker Room, featuring a "Bad Beat" jackpot currently over $97,000.
