(May 27, 2020 7:32 AM) FireKeepers Casino Hotel has announced it will reopen to the public on Monday, June 1 at 11 AM with a series of safety measures.
FireKeepers Casino Hotel has been closed since March 16. Four of Michigan’s 12 federally-recognized tribes said they will reopen seven casinos despite Gov. Whitmer’s closure of casinos and other places of public accommodation through June 12, including one that plans to restart Friday (Soaring Eagle in Mt. Pleasant).
“During the past few weeks, the FireKeepers leadership team has worked diligently in every area of the casino and hotel to develop strategies to safely operate during these unprecedented times,” stated FireKeepers CEO, Kathy George. “We are proud to be the casino of choice in the Midwest, and are committed to maintaining the standards we have set these past ten years.”
Do not visit FireKeepers Casino Hotel if you have a fever, if you are not feeling well, have recently traveled outside of the U.S., or have had contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19. Stay home and visit when the time is right.
The casino announced newly implemented protocols:
- Physical distancing
- Guests will be advised and directed to practice physical distancing by standing at least six feet away from other groups of people not traveling with them while standing in lines, using elevators or moving around the property. Floor decals have been installed throughout the property.
- In active restaurants, there are a reduced number of tables and other physical layouts will be arranged to ensure appropriate distancing.
- The slot floor will present rows with ever other game shut down, presenting a dramatically lower amount of available games.
- With slot occupancy greatly reduced, guests are encouraged to visit firekeeperscasino.com. Firekeepers will have a slot calculator on the site, to advise how many games are in play. The higher the number in play, the lower the number of available games.
- Table games will limit the number of people allowed to play at any one time at each game.
- Facial coverings required
- Masks or facial coverings will be required for all guests and Team Members on the property. Guests should be prepared to provide their own mask.
- Symptom Scans
- Guests, vendors and staff will be subject to a temperature scan upon entry. Those exhibiting a fever or symptoms will be asked to wait to return at least 72 hours after symptoms have dissipated.
The casino said they do not promise gaming space or access to the building will be allowed at any particular time if existing volumes of guests are high. Entry will be limited; access via Dacey’s Sportsbook and the parking garage will not be available.
Other changes announced include no smoking inside the building. Poker, bingo, Mijem Buffet and Chi Mon-ee’s will remain closed.
Self-service beverage stations will not be available, the parking garage will be closed and the hotel pool and fitness areas will be closed.
Sanitizer stations will be set up throughout the property and additional cleaning staff will be continually cleaning high touch areas.
Hotel and dining reservations for dates beginning June 1 can be made at firekeeperscasino.com.
