Sky River Casino, located at 1 Sky River Pkwy in Elk Grove, has entered the vertical construction phase of its 300-room hotel, with foundations poured for both the West and East towers in late June and early July. The project, a joint venture between the Wilton Rancheria tribe and Boyd Gaming, aims to transform the existing day‑trip casino into a full‑scale resort by late 2027 or early 2028, adding a pool, spa, expanded event spaces, and larger high‑limit gaming areas. The expansion is expected to create 300–400 permanent jobs, boosting employment from the current 1,600 staff.
