Take a Sneak Peek at ASCEND, Soaring Eagle’s New Sports Bar & Night Club [VIDEO]

Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort are about to unveil their latest attraction and we were treated to an exclusive peek behind the curtain at what they've been working on -- see the video here.

In what used to be the area where all the penny slots and high stakes tables stood, there is a trio of brand new areas for visitors of Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort to enjoy. To the left, an enclosed poker room. To the right, the just-opened non-smoking gaming area. In the middle of those two, lies the soon-to-be-open ASCEND -- a brand new upscale sports bar & night club.

We were given an exclusive tour of ASCEND ahead of its doors being opened to the general public on Monday, September 2nd. ASCEND has a very sharp, modern look and has a full dining menu, as well as several beers on tap and a full bar. Gambling is part of the package at ASCEND too, as there are gaming machines at every seat of the triangle-shaped bar, and throughout the rest of the room. There is also a cozy lounge area if you're just looking to relax and watch the game or catch some live entertainment on the stage

Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort has gone through multiple modifications with construction that commenced back in January 2018. The construction schedule was split into a seven-phase plan and is expected to be fully complete by early October. The multi-million dollar renovation investment is concentrated on amenities of the casino such as re-designing Kid’s Quest & Cyber Quest areas, a new luxury high limit gaming & VIP lounge areas, a state of the art poker room, a sports bar & night club ASCEND, an enclosed non-smoking gaming area, entertainment hall updates, and concluding the renovation project with re-branding the current sub shop.

This $26.5 million dollar renovation project will be one of the largest investments that Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort’s guests have seen since the grand opening of the resort back in 1997. The last major renovation was in 2011 when the Firefly Buffet was re-branded to Aurora Buffet and remodeled to provide space for the 24 hour Legends Diner.

The design and construction will be performed by I-5 Design Build. The Washington based company has built a successful track record working with over 75 Native American gaming properties throughout the country. I-5’s signature renovation process combines inspirational design, innovative planning, specialty in-house fabrication, and seamless project implementation to produce impact-rich gaming, F&B, and entertainment environments. Their unique and innovative off-site construction methods allow for 50% - 70% of a project to be built offsite, using state of the art digital manufacturing methods, leading to onsite project time-frames that are radically reduced, creating the maximum impact and benefit for each project.
