Yes, We’re Open!
Dear Valued Guest,
Eagle Mountain Casino is OPEN and plans to remain open for our local community, valued guest, and Team Members. We are all aware that the state’s Department of Public Health issued a “Limited Stay-at-Home Order” for selected counties, including Tulare County that will occur nightly between 10pm and 5am beginning on Saturday, November 21 and ending on Monday, December 21. The order applies to all non-essential work and activities. Our business and Team Members are deemed “essential” to the community and we will continue to operate with our normal business hours.
In March and July we voluntarily closed our doors to address the COVID-19 global pandemic. During our closures, The Tule River Tribe and Eagle Mountain Casino created and established preventive protocols, safety and disinfecting practices, and social distancing measures that exceed public health guidelines, to ensure a clean and safe environment for our guests and Team Members. You may view these measures at www.eaglemtncasino.com/about-us and at www.trihci.org/covid-19
Eagle Mountain Casino guests, Team Members, and surrounding community remain our top priority. The ordinances placed by Tule River Public Health Authority to prevent the spread of COVID-19 will be enforce for everyone’s health and safety. If you are not feeling well, please get well first before visiting us. When visiting us please know:
· Face mask and Temperature taking are REQUIRED before entering.
· LIMITED capacity in the Casino and dining areas.
· Practice social distancing among others and in lines.
· Sanitize often, we have plenty of sanitation/disinfectant stations throughout the Casino.
· In-door Smoking is NOT allowed. We have a designated smoking area.
· In-door Restaurants have been redesigned for social distancing and additional safety measures.
· Our Team Members will be disinfecting and cleaning machines and high touch areas often.
We thank you for your continued support in being your casino, “The People’s Casino”.
Sincerely,
Matthew Mingrone
General Manager
