The casino broke ground on a site adjacent to Highway 99 in Elk Grove in early 2021. Sky River Casino is being built by the Wilton Rancheria in partnership with Boyd Gaming Corporation, which is building and managing the property for the tribe. We are privileged to partner with Boyd Gaming and look forward to the opening of Sky River, which will bring jobs and long-term benefits to our Tribe, our community, and the region.” About Sky River Casino “We fought for tribal recognition, for our land and for this historic project. “Our people have fought for decades to achieve self-sufficiency,” said Wilton Rancheria Tribal Chairman Jesus Tarango. Located 15 miles south of downtown Sacramento, Sky River will be the closest casino to Sacramento and the South and East Bay areas. We are excited to open the doors of this wonderful facility for the Wilton Rancheria Tribe.” With construction nearing completion and hiring well underway, Sky River Casino announced plans to open its doors to the public in early September 2022. “The property features cutting-edge technology that allows for an innovative approach to our loyalty program, Sky River Rewards, designed to create a memorable experience for our guests. “Sky River Casino is an entertainment destination that will include a wide array of dining experiences that are sure to excite foodies throughout the area,” said Chris Gibase, President and Chief Operating Officer for Sky River Casino.
