"We've been in the community there for 24 seasons.  It's unfortunate that it's taken so long to do the things we can do to help each other," said Viad Corporation's Joe Fassler, director of Viad's Glacier Park Inc. operation.  "Now this is an opportunity to bring guest services to our guests at the East Glacier Lodge."

Fassler said while guests have all the opportunities Glacier Park affords the daytime visitor, at night "they mostly listen to speakers like Curly Bear Wagner.  This gives them, the ones who want to take part, the opportunity to have some fun and earn some money for the Tribe at the same time."

We already have Class II gaming at Glacier Peaks Casino... Siyeh Development's Dennis Fitzpatrick, General Manager, is set to manage the new venture, which will see the Park Lodge Casino opening for business Friday, June 4, 2004 and running through the tourist season.  Fitzpatrick estimated the Tribe will have about 3,000 square feet of space in the Feather Room, filled with 30 Rocket Bingo and other Vegas-style machines for the use of anyone at the East Glacier Park Lodge.  The new casino will be open seven days a week through September 2004, from 10 a.m. to midnight every day.
