The Fernley Reporter
Since February of this year, Pioneer Crossing Casino in Fernley has been under construction, making significant improvements throughout the entire property.
The estimated $1 million dollar remodel comes on the heels of the Fernley casinos 12th anniversary.
CEO Mike Benjamin said the remodel has been in the works for some time.
“We’ve been working on this remodel and expansion for years and it feels great to finally see it all come together,” he said.
Benjamin went on to say the decision to make the investment now was partly due to the much anticipated growth in Fernley and the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center area.
The expansion and remodel includes additional square footage to the casino floor and gaming area, new carpet, a larger Players Club, a new Sports Bar & Lounge with a 14-screen video-wall. The expanded gaming area features new, state of the art, slots increasing the casinos slot capacity by 25 percent. The completely remodeled and re-branded Chuckwagon restaurant gets a new name, the Branding Iron Café & Steakhouse. The Café menu has been updated with additional local favorites and a new Steakhouse menu featuring California grown, Harris Ranch Angus Beef.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony and festivities will be held Wednesday May 24, beginning at 3 p.m.
*Pioneer Crossing Casino owns and operates three casinos in Lyon County. Fernley, Dayton and Yerington.

Comment text: Maybe there is more to this story than what is reported, but it seems to me that the businesses that are causing this problem ought to be paying for this, or at least a major portion of it. Why does the County have to pay the whole bill? Just my opinion.
