Odawa Casino & Resort
Operates two gaming and hospitality properties in Petoskey and Mackinaw City, Michigan, combining casino gaming, a hotel, dining venues, live entertainment and event services.
Odawa Casino & Resort runs two gaming and hospitality properties in Northern Michigan: a casino resort in Petoskey and a second gaming location in Mackinaw City. The company is owned and operated by the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians. Its operations span casino gaming, lodging, food and beverage, live entertainment, and events, and the two sites together constitute the organisation's physical footprint.
The Petoskey gaming floor carries slots and electronic games, table games, a poker room, a high-limit area, and a dedicated non-smoking space. Adjacent to it are Odawa Hotel, which provides guest rooms, an indoor pool, a hot tub, complimentary breakfast and a shuttle to the casino, and Ovation Hall, a venue for concerts and other live events. Victories Sports & Entertainment, a sports and entertainment venue, forms part of the same complex. Meeting and event services handle conferences, banquets and weddings.
Food and beverage operations are spread across several on-site venues: Sage Chophouse, Copper Café, Room 94 and Mukwa. Pure Rewards, the company's loyalty programme, returns benefits to gaming customers that can include complimentary play, dining discounts and hotel stays. Work therefore exists across a range of functions - gaming floor supervision, hotel and guest services, food and beverage, event staging and venue operations - within a single employer and across two Northern Michigan locations.
