New event center could be built at Red Hawk Resort and Casino, Shingle Springs tribe plans say

The tribe that owns Red Hawk Resort and Casino is exploring plans for a new event center at its resort near Shingle Springs.

The center, if built, would be the latest move in a rapid expansion for Red Hawk after the opening of its 156-room resort hotel and The Apex at Red Hawk, the entertainment complex featuring go-kart racing, bowling lanes and sports bar, in February.

The plans, first reported by the Sacramento Business Journal, were announced in federal Bureau of Indian Affairs documents as part of nearly 200 acres that Red Hawk owners, the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, asked be placed into trust by the federal government. Shingle Springs Band officials reclassified the land’s housing parcels to use for economic development in September.

“Specifically, the Tribe will develop an events center on these parcels,” the documents show. No further plans or timelines were outlined in the federal paperwork.

El Dorado County supervisors took up the item at their Tuesday meeting. Supervisors are now reviewing the tribe’s application to the Bureau of Indian Affairs and will prepare a response on the proposed center’s potential impacts to county tax rolls, land use and services.

Plans are still in the early stages, Red Hawk officials said Monday, directing queries to Shingle Springs Band tribal offices.

But the events center plans are yet another development in the ever-competitive Sacramento region’s tribal gaming and entertainment landscape.

Hard Rock Live at Hard Rock Resort and Casino Sacramento at Fire Mountain, near Wheatland; and Thunder Valley Resort Casino’s 4,500-seat The Venue at Thunder Valley, near Lincoln, have both made splashes with their slates of touring acts.

The Estom Yumeka Maidu Tribe own the Hard Rock resort on the Enterprise Rancheria. The United Auburn Indian Community own Thunder Valley.

In Elk Grove, the Wilton Rancheria’s Sky River Casino in August restated its plans to build a 300-room resort hotel and entertainment center.
