“We are excited to begin this significant expansion that will enlarge and enhance 4 Bears Casino & Lodge, as well as bring more business and tourism to this beautiful area,” said George Trujillo, senior project manager for Kraus-Anderson Construction. The infrastructure reinvestment is also necessary to compete with the expansive, off-reservation gaming authorized by the state over the past three years.” “The MHA (Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara) Nation supports this hotel development as a means to protect nearly 200 full-time jobs. “The 4 Bears Casino is an integral part of our regional economy,” said Mark Fox, chairman of the Three Affiliated Tribes. The project also upgrades the property’s entrance lobby and first-floor kitchen, and dedicated glass-backed elevator to the seventh-floor suite. The addition also will include a new Sakakawea Spa with couples’ massage, a gift shop, fitness room and a hair, nail and pedi salon.
