KANSAS CITY, KS - The Wyandotte Nation announced it will open its 7th Street
Casino in downtown Kansas City, Kansas, on January 10th. The casino is in the
renovated, former Scottish Rite building at Seventh Street and Ann Avenue.
The state had sued to block the casino claiming the tribe's purchase of the
property was done improperly, however, the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in
Denver dismissed the case last October stating the case was filed too late. In a
new motion the Kansas attorney general is asking the court to overturn its
October decision.
Tribal second chief Billy Friend said Thursday. "Everything that's been done in
court has been in our favor. We're going to go ahead and open up."
The tribe's attorney, David McCullough, agreed and said all legal issues have
been cleared. "There's nothing to prevent us from opening. We've won all the
cases. If they don't have an injunction or stay in place, which they don't, you
act consistent with the ruling."
The tribe has spend $20 million remodeling the 3-story casino. It includes a
steakhouse with a "Roaring ‘20s" speakeasy theme and 400 electronic slot
machines.
