**Caesars Breaks Ground on Casino Resort in Sonoma County Wine Country**
Dry Creek Rancheria and Caesars Entertainment have officially broken ground on a new luxury resort project that will transform the existing River Rock Casino into the Caesars Republic Sonoma County. The resort will be situated near Highway 101, overlooking the scenic Alexander Valley Vineyards.
The project is being financed by Citizens, with Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. serving as the lead real estate financing partner.
“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,” said Anthony Carano, President and COO of Caesars Entertainment. “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.”
The new resort casino will feature a state-of-the-art gaming experience, including more than 1,000 slot machines and 28 table games. The property will also include a 100-room hotel equipped with a luxury spa, a pool, and a fitness center, offering visitors a full-service resort experience in one of California’s premier destinations.
