Legends Casino closes for the rest of March due to coronavirus

Legends Casino and hotel was closing at midnight Tuesday for the rest of the month over coronavirus concerns.

The closure includes the casino, hotel, restaurants, event center and childcare.

They expect to remain closed through March 31, when they will re-evaluate whether it’s safe to reopen.

“The Yakama Nation and Legends Casino Hotel have been in constant communication with local, state, and national health officials,” explained Yakama Nation Chairman Delano Saluskin.

“Each step we’ve made — including the upcoming closure — has been for the health and safety of our guests, team members, and their families,” he said in a news release. “We understand and regret the impact this will have on both our team members and our community.”

“We anticipate high phone call volumes and encourage guests to review our website to answer questions to the public. Guests may call us at 877-7COME11, private message us on Facebook, or email us at marketing@legendscasino.net,” said the release.

“We do request that guests provide as many details as possible to assist us in resolving questions as quickly as possible which is why we recommend private messaging options such as phone, private message, or email.”

The tribal government offices will not be closed.

Legends Casino Hotel is off Interstate 82 and is owned and operated by the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation.
