The new $325 million Chicken Ranch Casino Resort, which began welcoming guests in July, is now touting its recently-completed 12,000-square-foot meeting and event space on level three of the nine-story resort in preparation for the resort’s grand opening this fall.
“The debut of the Chicken Ranch Casino Resort meeting and event space opens up a world of new opportunities this town has not seen before,” Lloyd Mathiesen, chairman of the Chicken Ranch Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians, said in remarks distributed Monday. “We look forward to welcoming visitors from all over to host their conferences, meetings, and events.”
The new meeting and event space features a ballroom, three meeting rooms, a boardroom, and two pre-function areas. Resort promoters say the space offers multiple options for large corporate gatherings and smaller events.
• The Brahma Ballroom can accommodate up to 1,253 people and occupies 8,670 square feet.
• The Silkie Boardroom has room to welcome up to 30 guests and covers 980 square feet.
• The Sebright Meeting Room can hold up to 49 guests and has 734 square feet.
• The Welsummer Meeting Room can accommodate 41 guests and covers 578 square feet.
• The Lohmann Meeting Room can hold 38 guests and spans 536 square feet.
The meeting and event spaces are complemented by one pre-function area spanning 5,447 square feet with room for up to 545 guests, and another pre-function patio area that can accommodate 80 guests and features views of west Tuolumne County.
A grand opening celebration is scheduled for Nov. 9 at the resort.
