The Landing, the casino’s fine-dining restaurant, will focus on farm-to-table fare from local farms, while also showcasing uniquely designed paddles by tribal artists. “From the front door to the back door and beyond, the restaurants at the new Quil Ceda Creek Casino will be the ‘greenest’ in the Northwest,” said Belinda Hegnes, interim executive vice president of Quil Ceda Creek Casino. Also, catalytic converters dissipate grease into water and CO2, making overhead vents obsolete.

The Kitchen incorporates green design, such as windspeed ovens and induction technologies, reducing energy consumption and waste. The casino added 500 gambling machines, bringing its total to 1,500, and three more table games, including two new ones: EZ Baccarat and Craps with Fire Bet. Also despite 50% more gambling machines, more room between the units gives the place a less-congested feel and creates spaces to get lost in. The designers used variations in the casino’s ceiling to create a feeling of intimacy. Keeping that intimate feeling in a building that more than doubles the square footage of the previous property was tricky. It was a place where you could get tucked into little corners and really enjoy yourself.” They said it didn’t feel too bright or clean. They felt like it was an extension of their family. “The regulars told us that they like the resort for what it is,” Cebollero said, “but they loved the comfort and intimacy of the Q. What they found helped shape the new Quil Ceda Creek Casino. They brought together focus groups of hundreds of Q regulars to find out what they wanted in a new venue. In designing the new casino, management went to the experts.
