The $33.5 million Marquette project will include a three star 80 room hotel, 1200 seat entertainment complex, three branded restaurants, 400-seat state of the art conference facility, and the gaming floor will increase to accommodate 500 slot machines. A groundbreaking ceremony will be hosted at the Ojibwa Casino in Marquette on Tuesday December 6th, 2016 at 11 a.m. Light refreshments will be provided.
