NEW TOWN – A $95 million 4 Bears Casino & Lodge hotel renovation project is set to be complete in 2025.

The casino and lodge, west of New Town, is owned by Three Affiliated Tribes (Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara).

A groundbreaking was held recently for the seven-story hotel tower renovation project. The project will include an 18,000-square-foot demolition of the existing two-story hotel, 108,000-square-feet of new construction and 20,200-square-feet of renovation. Upon completion, 4 Bears Casino & Lodge will have 264 guest rooms, some of which will be suites.

The new hotel tower will add 90 guest rooms, gaming, offices and a 3,100-square-foot, first-floor sports bar with dining room and gaming stations. The extensive project also features a seventh-floor, 2,500-square-foot ballroom, meeting rooms and a fine dining steakhouse with glass-surround dining.

The addition will include a new Sakakawea Spa with couples’ massage, a gift shop, fitness room and a hair, nail and pedi salon. The project also upgrades the property’s entrance lobby and first-floor kitchen, and dedicated glass-backed elevator to the seventh-floor suite.

A grand opening ceremony also was held for the newly renovated Sports Book and Cache Marketplace, two of the newest renovations 4 Bears has undergone as of late.
