CHITTENANGO, N.Y. — The Oneida Indian Nation has started work on what it calls “an extensive upgrade project” at the Yellow Brick Road Casino in Chittenango.
Updates to the 60,000-square-foot gaming venue will include a redesign of the venue’s exterior. The redesign will target the casino’s façade, along with interior renovations, such as “fresh” décor and new dining and bar options.
The Oneida Nation announced plans for the project on the anniversary of its opening, per a news release posted on its website dated June 4. The Nation didn’t disclose a dollar figure for the project cost.
