Table Mountain’s new hotel resort and casino in Friant, which has been under construction since 2019, finally has an official opening date.
Throughout the construction phase, tribal leaders have remained tight-lipped about when the doors will open. However, a promotional video shared on social media on Monday morning by the company says that the casino’s grand opening is July 21.

“35 years have flown by, but the same spirit remains,” announces the video. “The Table Mountain Casino Resort continues July 2022.”
Casino officials have stated that the hotel will be privately booked until the end of August. However, reservations for September will begin soon.
The casino has been busy staffing up, hosting nine job fairs since early May. Dozens of open positions are listed on the Table Mountain website ranging from cashiers and food service jobs to facilities maintenance and security.
Plans for the new facility included a 110,000 square foot casino floor slated to add more than 600 gaming machines, expanded restaurant space, a 1,500- seat special event center, a gift shop, and a childcare facility.
Expanded parking was also promised, with 1,000 more spaces provided in addition to the casino’s existing 5-story garage.
The new complex features a modern and sweeping design, including a glass-fronted hotel tower with 14 levels and 150 guest rooms.
In total, the new building was designed to offer 600,000 square feet of total space compared to the current 72,000 square foot casino-only venue.
What’s Next for the Current Casino Building?
The current casino is expected to be repurposed for tribal governmental uses. The casino at Table Mountain Rancheria is operated by the Monache tribe and Chukchansi band of Yokuts.
