The partnership was launched when Dry Creek Rancheria selected Caesars as its development and management partner for the new integrated resort in northern California. Citizens led the project financing with Gaming and Leisure Properties serving as the lead real estate financing partner.
The resort casino will be completely transformed and will get a new casino floor with more than 1,000 slot machines and 28 table games. The property will also get a new 100-room hotel with a spa, pool and fitness center.
“On the heels of a successful launch of Caesars Republic in Lake Tahoe, we couldn’t think of a better place than Sonoma County to continue the brand’s expansion,” Anthony Carano, president and COO at Caesars Entertainment, said in a statement. “We’re excited to partner with Dry Creek Rancheria to bring this incredible destination to life and offer a new, elevated and unique experience for our guests to indulge in, right in the heart of wine country.”
Monumental Moment
“Breaking ground on Caesars Republic Sonoma County marks a monumental moment for Dry Creek Rancheria. This partnership with Caesars Entertainment represents more than just a new chapter in our casino’s story—it’s a bold leap into the future for our Tribe and our community,” said Chris Wright, chairman, Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians. “Together, we are creating a world-class resort experience that blends the natural beauty of Sonoma County with premier gaming, hospitality and entertainment.”
Caesars Republic Sonoma County is located off Hwy 101 and sits above the Alexander Valley Vineyards, providing views of both the vineyards and the Russian River. The resort-casino will have a full food and beverage line-up, including a steakhouse, upscale café, an Asian concept and an elevated quick-service option.
Additionally, guests will have access to a fireside bar, sports bar and the resort’s dedicated wine bar, which will have an outdoor deck with views of the valley.
