Continued popularity made room for a three-story expansion in 2000, followed by a 381-room hotel in 2014 with an additional 119 rooms and spa coming in the spring of 2019. The bingo hall was met with enthusiasm and quickly added slot machines in 1992. On March 7, 1991, Potawatomi Bingo became the first off-reservation casino in the country and is still the only one of its kind in the state of Wisconsin.
The Forest County Potawatomi purchased land in Milwaukee’s Menomonee Valley in 1990, with the goal of building a bingo hall. But did you know that there is another casino in Wisconsin, owned and operated by the Forest County Potawatomi tribe, Potawatomi Carter Casino Hotel?
If you’re from the Milwaukee area, you’re probably familiar with Potawatomi Hotel & Casino, which opened its doors in 1991.
