Update: Owned and operated by the Puyallup Tribe, the Emerald Queen Casino located along I-5 in Tacoma will soon be replaced with a brand new $370 million casino. Already under construction, the 310,000-square-foot building, which will span both East 29th and East R streets, will include a 110,000-square-foot casino, will have a variety of restaurants (buffet, upscale and cafe), two bars, including a sports bar with a view of Mount Rainier, and one that will overlook downtown Tacoma and Puget Sound, a 2,000-seat, 21,000-square-foot events center and two parking garages with a total of 1,370 stalls. The new casino is expected to open in spring 2020.

Plans for a new $65 million hotel, to be located east of the casino, include a 3.5 to 4-star facility with 150-200 rooms, a rooftop restaurant, spa and conference rooms. The new hotel is expected to open by December 2020.

Upon completion of the new casino, the current one will be shut down and the tents demolished.
