The Wilton Rancheria took ownership of the site, formerly the abandoned and uncompleted Elk Grove Promenade shopping center. Las Vegas-based Boyd Gaming provided financing and is responsible for ongoing operations for the gaming facility. When Sky River was first proposed, it included plans for a 400-plus room hotel, but when the facility opened in August 2022, it did not include the hotel facility. Plans for the 20 acres were not detailed in today’s press release. “Our vision is rooted in a legacy of stewardship, ensuring that our descendants inherit a world richer in culture, tradition, and opportunity.” In acquiring this land, we sow the seeds of prosperity for seven generations to come,” Jesus Tarango, Wilton Rancheria Chairman, said. “Today, as we embark on this historic land purchase, we honor not only our past, but also the future. The Wilton Rancheria announced today they have purchased 20 acres of land directly adjacent to their Sky River Casino site in south Elk Grove.
