The Nez Perce Tribe-owned event center is once again bringing in musical acts and hosting boxing.
The former Clearwater River Casino building had previously held such events, but Nez Perce Tribal Enterprises Executive Officer Yvonne Oberly said opening the new casino and hotel has allowed the entire building to serve as a somewhat permanent tribal event center. The approximately 12,000-square-foot building continues to house bingo, and a growing list of concerts and other events. The white, tentlike building that once housed all the casino’s operations has been renamed the Clearwater River Casino Event Center, since gambling machines were moved inside a newer, permanent facility last September. LEWISTON – A year into the opening of a permanent building east of Lewiston, the Clearwater River Casino & Resort is still hoping to pack people in under the big tent.
