History

&In February 2016 the Cowlitz Tribe broke ground for their new $510 million casino. Construction was completed in early 2017 and the grand opening was celebrated April 24, 2017.

The Cowlitz Tribe was a landless tribe awaiting approval from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to take 152 acres of land into federal trust. The land is located at La Center's I-5 interchange in Clark County, Washington.

Federal approval was finally granted December 23, 2010 making the land a sovereign reservation for the Cowlitz tribal government, housing, and economic opportunities. This included the tribe's plan to construct a resort casino as described below. Federal support for this project was reconfirmed Oct. 5, 2012.

The first phase of this construction on this $510 million project was the two-story casino which is now finished. An eight-story hotel will be built in a later phase.

Ilani Celebrates 2nd Anniversary and the Opening of Cowlitz Crossing

April 24, 2019

Ilani Casino celebrated its two-year anniversary on Wednesday. Its opening day was April 24, 2017.

In celebration of the event casino offered special promotions and memorabilia gifts to its guests. Leaders of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe also made two announcements about ongoing changes:

• Cowlitz Crossing Grand Opening
  The Cowlitz Crossing opened today on the anniversary date of the casinos. It is a fueling station and convenience store located nearby at 31801 NW 31st Ave, Ridgefield, WA 98642.
  The fuel station sells gasoline, ethanol-free gas and diesel. The convenience store stocks standard items you would expect to find plus local ice cream, coffee and Ilani wine.

• New Parking Garage
  Construction will begin this July on a 5-story parking stucture with 2,600 vehicle parking spaces. It will be completed in late summer of next year.

Ilani Casino Resort continues in a master planning phase. Future expansion project may include a hotel, a Cowlitz Indian Cultural Center and a new tribal headquarters.

The most recent addition was the Cowlitz Ballroom which opened in April last year. It is a 22,000-square-foot addition that provides a 2,500-person concert venue or an 800-guest banquet hall. The balllroom cost $20 million and is the largest in Clark County.

Ilani to build gas station, convenience store

September 05, 2018

Groundbreaking was held for the new gas station and convenience store that will be located near the ilani Casino Resort. On Thursday the ceremony was held. The casino resort is operated by the Cowlitz Indian Tribe near La Center, Washington.

During the ceremony members of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe and casino resort leadership were present.

There will be between 18 and 24 gas pumps. 22 parking spaces. The convenience store will be two floors with an atrium.

The store will offer drinks, tobacco, and some grocery items. Customers will also be able to purchase hot food. The store is planning on offering sandwiches and friend chicken.

The new gas station and convenience store is scheduled to be completed by the end of Spring next year.

UPDATE: Ilani Casino opened its Entertainment Center April 5th

February 14, 2018

In April the ilani Casino Resort is scheduled to open the new meeting and entertainment center. This is also the time the casino will be celebrating the one year anniversary.

The announcement about the opening was made on February 5.

The newly expanded area consists of 30,000 square feet. The Cowlitz Ballroom is 22,000 square feet. It can be made into different size rooms to accommodate different sized events. For concerts the ballroom can seat 2,500 people. It can also be used for banquets. In that configuration, the room can accommodate 800 guests. Smaller events can also be held there. The room can be divided.

The location in the building allows for guests to enter the room directly without needing to walk into the casino area.

Events held there will have access to full catering services, sound, and lighting.

Attracting more entertainment was one of the reasons behind the expansion project. The tribe is interested in providing guests with performers that are nationally known.

Along with the new entertainment center opening, the amount of traffic it will bring is a concern. To offset the issues, the road will be improved. An additional 400 parking spaces will also be added.

They expect traffic to be heaviest during the grand opening of the center. Then Thursday to Monday.

Casino La Center Washington

The ilani Casino Resort has been in operation for close to a year. The casino has plans to continue growing and expanding in the future.

LA CENTER, WA - Clark County and the Cowlitz Indian Tribe are working on a draft proposal to replace the 2004 memorandum of understanding covering the tribe's plans to build a casino near La Center, Washington. A state hearings board struck down the original agreement in 2004 because there was not enough public involvement.
'I can tell you that we are getting closer to getting things back to the public, which we had promised originally,' Commissioner Steve Stuart said last week. 'What we bring and whether it will be satisfactory to anyone, I can't tell.'
Stuart said the county will disclose to the public their discussions with the tribe before completing a draft.
The county commissioners have held three public hearings this year to take testimony from residents about what they want in a new agreement.
The Cowlitz Tribe is a landless tribe awaiting approval from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to place 152 acres of land into federal trust. The land is located at La Center's I-5 interchange in Clark County, Washington.
If approved, the Cowlitz Tribe plan to build a large casino complex featuring the following:
- Casino with up to 134,150 square feet
