Three Northeast Minnesota casinos set to reopen
Two casinos in northeast Minnesota reopen their doors today, and another one will join them later this month after shutting down due to COVID-19.
Black Bear Casino Resort in Carlton, and Fond-du-Luth Casino in Duluth open Monday at 10 a.m. Grand Portage Lodge & Casino is scheduled to open two weeks later, on June 29.
Each of the properties will have new health protection rules in place, including that guests have their temperature scanned before entering, wear masks and practice social distancing, as reported by Minneapolis Star Tribune. Some areas, such as blackjack tables, will remain closed.
Fond-du-Luth will be smoke-free on both floors. On its website, Grand Portage says: “Businesses are restructuring how they provide services to visitors to keep you and their employees safe. Some communal amenities may not be open for use. As restrictions change, please be patient as they are implemented locally.”
The northeast Minnesota casinos are following the lead of others in Minnesota which opened at the end of May. Indian tribes that operate Minnesota casinos were able to set their own reopening timelines, as sovereign nations. Many tribes are using state and federal health recommendations to implement safe practices.
