Today, members of the Yavapai Nation hosted a Topping-Out Ceremony at the location of the new We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort. In addition to marking an important milestone in the construction project, the ceremony also marked the debut of the new name We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort (formerly Fort McDowell Casino) and the new logo. The new casino is located in the heart of Fort McDowell’s Yavapai Nation on the eastern edge of Scottsdale, Arizona. The function of the Topping-Out Ceremony is to bring a building good luck and mark the intermediate point of the project. This point identifies that the construction team is about to dry-in-the-roof, which means the roof can provide semi-protection from the elements. The structural phase of the building remains on schedule to open the We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort in the summer of 2020.
