US.- Michigan’s Gun Lake Casino has opened its new 16-floor hotel, marking a milestone in the property’s $300m expansion. There’s a spa, meeting space and additional dining options.

The new hotel has 252 rooms, including 31 suites, a spa and a cafe and two-storey penthouse: the Ogema Suite covering 3,368 square feet and offering views of west Michigan.
