Kitchell Contractors has been selected as the design/builder for a new 146,000-sf casino for the Tuolumne Ban of Me-Wuk Indians near Sonora, a relatively small city in Central California. One of Phoenix's largest contractors, the firm has built a handful of other Indian casinos over the past few years.
Work has already begun on the first phase of the Me-Wuk's Black Oak Casino, a 20,000-sf pre-engineered building with a freestanding facade. It will contain 600 slot machines, six gaming tables, a central bar and restaurant.
Once the casino is established, construction will start on the second phase of the project. Phase two will be a two-story structure of about 126,000 sf. The first floor will feature the casino, a 175-seat coffee shop, 300-seat entertainment lounge, upscale restaurant and other amenities. The upper level will contain a children's entertainment area, a 24-lane bowling and billiard center, fast-food restaurants and offices.
