by Alison Bailin Batz | Experience AZ

Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino (Harrah’s) is celebrating its 25th anniversary throughout 2019. In addition to recently completing a multi-million dollar renovation that included a new lobby, a 12-story, 229-guestroom tower, spa, expanded gaming space, new restaurants, the Events Center at Harrah’s Ak-Chin, parking garage, a new Bingo hall and a newly renamed Laurel Lounge for Caesars Rewards members, Harrah’s is celebrating the anniversary with a look back at its impact on the Ak-Chin Community and beyond over the past quarter-century.

Here are just 25 of their “greatest community hits” over the past 25 years:

1. The Ak-Chin Indian Community entered into the gaming industry in 1994 as part of the original compacts and established a management agreement with Harrah’s. To date, Ak-Chin is the only tribal community with an international management company.

2. A central element to the recent renovation was a focus on the tribe’s rich history. Throughout the property, guests will see Native American-inspired artwork and design elements that highlight the culture and traditions of the Ak-Chin Indian Community.
