The recent grand opening of the $240 million expansion of the Potawatomi Bingo Casino is another reason the once-drab and semi-deserted industrial Menomonee Valley is now a destination for tourists and residents alike.
Meanwhile, the new Harley-Davidson Museum east of the casino on Canal St. is awaiting its coming-out July 12.
We long have harbored concerns about the proliferation of gambling in this state, but we acknowledge its immense appeal and the huge role it plays in tourism and, yes, creation of new jobs.
To that point, the Potawatomi casino has been an asset to Milwaukee and certainly to the developing valley with its array of restaurants and impressive 600-seat cabaret dinner theater that regularly hosts big-name entertainment.
The new 500,000 square-foot addition continues that tradition with two new restaurants, a food court and an eye-catching glitzy center bar lounge.
And since gambling, like it or not, is obviously one of the main attractions of any casino, the new Potawatomi now boasts more than 3,100 slot machines, more than 100 table games, an expanded poker room and an off-track betting room.
No doubt about it; this is an impressive entertainment facility and a boon to the valley and the city.
We’d be remiss if we also didn’t point out that the Potawatomi have been first-rate corporate citizens.
Besides dutifully making payments to the state under the terms of their compact, the Potawatomi contribute a good share of their admittedly large earnings to a number of local organizations and charitable causes. Congratulations on the opening.
